Additionally, in the old Sanskrit "Hoke-kyo Sutra," which was discovered in Central Asia, it was written as 'avalokitasvara,' so that it can be interpreted as avalokita (see) + svara (sound); there is another old translation as "Koseon Bosatsu," so that it is possible to assume these were different texts.
また、中央アジアで発見された古いサンスクリット語の『法華経』では、「avalokitasvara」となっており、これに沿えばavalokita(観)+svara(音)と解され、また古訳では『光世音菩薩』の訳語もあることなどから、異なるテキストだった可能性は否定できない。
