Fó shuō mó hē yǎn bǎo yán jīng 佛說摩訶衍寶嚴經
The Sūtra Spoken by the Buddha on the Mahāyāna Jewel-Adornment by anonymous translator
About the work
This 1-fascicle anonymous text is one of the parallel translations of the Kāśyapa-parivarta (alongside Lokakṣema’s T0350 and Dānapāla’s T0352). The four-translation tradition (T0350, T0351, T0352, plus the Mahā-ratnakūṭa assembly 43) makes the Kāśyapa-parivarta one of the most extensively re-translated Mahāyāna texts in the Chinese canon.
Prefaces

Abstract
