Buddhism.]

[Footnote 526: Or at least is not accessible to me here in Hongkong,
1914.]
[Footnote 527: I do not mean to say that all Dharanis are late.]
[Footnote 528: It is even probable that apocryphal Sutras were
composed in Central Asia. See Pelliot in _Melanges d'Indianisme_,
Sylvain Levi, p. 329.]
[Footnote 529: The list of manifestations in Jambudvipa enumerates 56
kingdoms. All cannot be identified with certainty, but apparently less
than half are within India proper.]
[Footnote 530: See _Bibl. Budd._ XII. pp. 44, 46, XIV. p. 45.]
[Footnote 531: The Turkish sutras repeatedly style the Buddha God
(t'angri) or God of Gods. The expression devatideva is applied to him
in Sanskrit, but the Turkish phrases are more decided and frequent.
The Sanskrit phrase may even be due to Iranian influence.]
[Footnote 532: An Chou, the Prince to whose memory the temple was
dedicated, seems to be regarded as a manifestation of Maitreya.]
[Footnote 533: _J.A._ 1913, I. p. 154. The series of three articles by
Chavannes and Pelliot entitled "Un traite Manicheen retrouve en Chine"
(_J.A._ 1911, 1913) is a most valuable contribution to our knowledge
of Manichaeism in Central Asia and China.]

Coq, _Sitzb. preuss. Akad. der Wiss._ 48, 1909, 1202-1218.]

Si-ngan-fu" in _Varietes Sinologues_, pp. 7, 12 and 20.]

remarks respecting the unwillingness of the Nestorians and also of the
Jesuits to give publicity to the crucifixion.]

Hinayanist.]
