According to p. 167 of Emmerick's review of La concentration de la marche héroïque, a reviewer of the Lamotte translation of Vimalakīrtinirdeśasūtra, the translation was "called into question". E concluded that "Lamotte's practice of providing Sanskrit equivalents for key Tibetan words within parenthensis sin his translation I should like to record my vote in his favour."
