　　　　  to the term "apocryphal word" coined by Lewis Lancaster. See his
　　　　  paper, "The Question of `Apocryphal' Words in Chinese Buddhist
　　　　  Texts" (delivered at the Annual meeting of the American Academy of
　　　　  Religion, Atlanta, November 24, 1986).

　　　　  pp. 69-70, although Buddhist autocremation appears not to be
　　　　  attested before the early fifth century.

　　　　  India, but a fuller discussion of this must perforce be left to my
　　　　  colleagues in Indian Buddhism.
