Answer:
1.the comparison, in 1994 scholars dated the life of the Buddha between the 5th and 4th century BCE.[8]
2. The passage on eating dead babies can only be found in one Chinese version of the story, and may have been added in to criticize such practices in 5th-century China.[30]
3. In two of the early Chinese texts, Aṅgulimāla is born in Magadha or Aṅga, and King Pasenadi does not make any appearance.[11][13]
4. Dhammapāla states that Ahiṃsaka is as "strong as seven elephants", while another text states that the teacher worries his reputation will suffer if he is found to have murdered a student.[34][35]
5. Some versions of the story mention hundred fingers, while others mention thousand.[34][36] Dhammapāla states that Aṅgulimāla is required to fetch a thousand fingers from right hands,[37] seemingly unaware that this could be achieved by killing 200 people,[37] or by taking the fingers from people who were already dead.[14] Buddhaghosa states, on the other hand, that Angulimāla is told to "kill a thousand legs", and gathers fingers only as an aid to keep an accurate count.[38]
6. Buddhaghosa says he does not dare to, whereas Dhammapāla says he believes he has "no use for such a son".[43]
7. Buddhologist André Bareau and theologian John Thompson have argued that the passage of the mother trying to interfere has been added to the original story later, but Asian Studies scholar Monika Zin notes that the mother already appears in early Buddhist art.[34][45]
8. According to some versions, however, the Buddha hears about Aṅgulimāla from monks, who have gone for alms round and have seen the complaining villagers at Pasenadi's palace.[47]
9. This passage does not appear in all versions of the Tripiṭaka.[11]
