The Chinese author of the Wei-tsang-tu-Shi enters the account only as the source of a textual interpretation, translating Bonpo as Taossé. No life, motives, or further deeds are given, so his presence remains bound to the work attributed to him. His brief mention underscores how a single written gloss can shape the way a distant tradition is understood.
