Notes
- ↑ On this point, Leonard W.J. Van der Kuijp writes: Its canonical status in Tibet is somewhat ambivalent. The early Kadampa evidently considered it to belong to the type of texts that were later included in that part of the canon known as the Tengyur. This, of course, means that they held it to be a shastra, which would account for its inclusion among this grouping of six texts, which are all shastras. For some still to be explained reason, the Udanavarga also wandered into the Kangyur…. (In Journal of the American Oriental Society (1994))
