In an article that I have not been able to consult Tachibana Shundo seems to have tried to prove that Buddhajiva's translation is not made from a manuscript brought back from Ceylon by Fa-hsien, cf.

It is recorded in the Chinese histories that in the first half of the fifth century four such official missions from Ceylon arrived in China, cf. Sylvain Levi, 'Les missions de Wang Hiuen-Ts'e dans l'Inde', JA, 1900 (I), pp.411-15.
