[Footnote 190:  Similarly Harsha became a Buddhist late in life.]

[Footnote 191:  Watters, vol.  I. p. 203.  He places Kanishka’s accession 400 years after the death of the Buddha, which is one of the arguments for supposing Kanishka to have reigned about 50 B.C., but in another passage (Watters, I. 222, 224) he appears to place it 500 years after the death.]

[Footnote 193:  But Taranatha says some authorities held that it met at Jalandhara.  Some Chinese works say it was held at Kandahar.]

[Footnote 195:  Translated by Takakusu in T’oung Pao, 1904, pp. 269 ff.  Paramartha was a native of Ujjain who arrived at Nanking in 548 and made many translations, but it is quite possible that this life of Vasubandhu is not a translation but original notes of his own.]

[Footnote 196:  Chinese expressions like “in the five hundred years after the Buddha’s death” probably mean the period 400-500 of the era commencing with the Buddha’s death and not the period 500-600.  The period 1-100 is “the one hundred years,” 101-200 “the two hundred years” and so on.  See B.E.F.E.O. 1911, 356.  But it must be remembered that the date of the Buddha’s death is not yet certain.  The latest theory (Vincent Smith, 1919) places it in 554 B.C.]

[Footnote 198:  See Watters, I. pp. 222, 224 and 270.  It is worth noting that Hsuean Chuang says Asoka lived one hundred years after the Buddha’s death.  See Watters, I. p. 267.  See also the note of S. Levi in J.R.A.S. 1914, pp. 1016-1019, citing traditions to the effect that there were 300 years between Upagupta, the teacher of Asoka, and Kanishka, who is thus made to reign about 31 A.D.  On the other hand Kanishka’s chaplain Sangharaksha is said to have lived 700 years after the Buddha.]

[Footnote 201:  Its connection with Gandhara and Kashmir is plainly indicated in its own scriptures.  See Przyluski’s article on “Le Nord-Ouest de l’Inde dans le Vinaya des Mula-sarvastivadins,” J.A. 1914, II. pp. 493 ft.  This Vinaya must have received considerable additions as time went on and in its present form is posterior to Kanishka.]
