Footnotes
- ↑ John Newman says in note 10: On Srī Nāropa’s nirvana, see Wylie 1982. I follow Wylie’s argument in dating Nāropa’s death, but note that his main source is Alaka Chattopadhyaya, Atīśa and Tibet. For additional important Tibetan sources that also place Nāropa’s death shortly before Atīśa's departure for Tibet, see Eimer 1979: 172–74; dPa' bo gTsug lag phreng ba 1545–64: 673. Also, Wylie concludes: "Let the historical record show that Nāropa was born in A.D. 956 and died in A.D. 1040..." (Wylie 1982: 691). Although Wylie has made a strong case for dating Nāropa’s death at ca. 1040 CE, the evidence in support of the birth date is weak. As a rule we must be very skeptical of the miraculously precise dates late Tibetan sources provide for events that occurred hundreds of years earlier in India. These dates are always given in the Tibetan element animal sexagenary cycle which was never used in India, and which only became current in Tibet in the 13th century. In other words, we cannot rely too heavily on Tibetan reconstructions of the chronology of Indian Buddhism until we thoroughly understand the presuppositions, methods, and source materials of the Tibetan historians and hagiographers. - Newman, John.
