Two sketches of an elastic Mahayanist Canon of this kind are preserved, one in the Śikshâsamuccaya attributed to Śântideva, who probably flourished in the seventh century, and the other in a little work called the Duration of the Law, reporting a discourse by an otherwise unknown Nandimitra, said to have lived in Ceylon 800 years after the Buddha's death.
The second work was translated by Hsüan Chuang and was therefore probably written before 600 A.D. Otherwise there is no external evidence for fixing its date. It represents Nandimitra as explaining on his deathbed the steps taken by the Buddha to protect the True Law and in what works that Law is to be found.
