Parçva.~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ The first twenty-three patriarchs are exactly the same as those given in 'The Sutra on the Nidana of transmitting Dharmapitaka,' translated in A.D. 472. King Teh Chwen Tang Iuh (Kei-toku-den-to-roku), a famous Zen history of China, gives two elaborate narratives about the transmission of Right Dharma from teacher to disciple through these twenty-eight patriarchs, to be trusted without hesitation. It would not be difficult for any scholar of sense to find these statements were made from the same motive as that of the anonymous author who gives a short life, in Dirghagama-sutra, of each of the six Buddhas, the predecessors of Shakya Muni, if he carefully compare the list given above with the lists of the patriarchs of the Sarvastivada school given by San Yin (So-yu died A.D. 518) in his Chuh San Tsung Ki (Shutsu-san zo-ki).~

11 1, 3 (1)| Lankavatara-sutra prophesies that Nagarjuna would appear in South India.~(
12 1, 3 (1)| Mahaprajñaparamita-çastra, ascribed to Nagarjuna, refers to many Mahayana
13 1, 3 (1)| said to be earlier than Nagarjuna and later than Açvaghosa,
14 1, 3 (1)| important books appeared before Nagarjuna, and that some of Mantra
