Bhikkhu Päsädika published the Tibetan version of Nāgārjuna's Sūtrasamuccaya which he had already translated in its entirety in the periodical Linh-Son (nos. 2-20, 1978-1982).

In 1970 R.E. Emmerick published a translation of the Suvarnabhäsottamasutra. A revised edition of the translation appeared in 1990.
