2 In his book Radich uses “MPNS” to refer specifically to T. 374, namely, *Dharmakṣema's Chinese version of the Mahāyāna Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra, a convention this review will follow as well. The abbreviation T refers to the Taishō shinshū daizōkyō, 100 vols., eds. Takakusu Junjirō and Watanabe Kaikyoku (Tokyo: Taishō issaikyō kankōkai, 1924–1935).
