pages 553-558, illustrations : 24 cm. Summary:The story of Sudhana is one of the most popular of the avadanas of Northern Hinayana Buddhism. There are two main versions of this story, one adopted by the Mahasanghika school and the other by the mula-Sarvastivada school. The former is preserved in the Mahavastu under the title Kinnarijataka , and a similar version of this story is found in a Chinese collection called Liu-tu-chi-ching Collection [of tales to illustrate] the six paramitas , said to have been translated in approximately A.D. 270 ( Taisho Tripitaka , in, no. 152, 44 f.) and accessible to us in Chavannes's Tripitaka (Cinq cents contes et apologues , no. 80). The mula-Sarvastivada redaction is found in a Vinaya text of that school called the Bhaisajya-vastu . It was translated by I-ching and is referred to as Ken pen chouo … by Chavannes (iv, 133).
