    Notes

    GYT 364a10-11. Attributed to Bodhiruci I, in 10 juan.

    See Ono Genmyō, Bussho kaisetsu daijiten 佛書解說大辭典, 10.328b–329a, Fuse Kōgaku 布施浩岳.

    Although the Hōbōgirin Répertoire associates this with sūtra 41, Fuse refers to it rather as a general commentary on the MRK (本論は寶積經の部分的註釋). Further study is certainly needed.
