Overall, I am not sure. In an article that I will share with the list when it’s done, I think I demonstrate quite conclusively a west Semitic, probably Arabic, input in a 10th c Sanskrit text from Kashmir, with which there was some intertextuality with the KCT. But of course I do not ask that you accept my arguments until you have seen them.
