勝軍王所問經 [sheng jun wang suo wen jing]—The Sutra on What King Shengjun Asked—[Sutra Title (經名 [jing ming])] in one fascicle, translated by Shi Hu (施護 [shi hu]) of the Song (宋 [song]) Dynasty. It is largely similar, with minor differences, to The Sutra on Admonishing the King (諫王經 [jian wang jing]) translated by Juqu Jingsheng (沮渠京聲 [ju qu jing sheng]), The Sutra on the Tathagata's Teaching to King Shengjun (如來示教勝軍王經 [ru lai shi jiao sheng jun wang jing]) translated by Xuanzang (玄奘 [xuan zang]), and The Sutra on the Buddha Preaching the Dharma of Kings to Prince Shengguang (佛為勝光天子說王法經 [fu wei sheng guang tian zi shuo wang fa jing]) translated by Yijing (義淨 [yi jing]). The Buddha taught the Dharma of Kings (王法 [wang fa]) to King Shengjun (勝軍王 [sheng jun wang]) / Prasenajit (波斯匿 [bo si ni]), and also taught the Twelve Nidanas (十二因緣 [shi er yin yuan]). However, in the latter three sutras, the analogy of the four mountains (四山一喻 [si shan yi yu]) combines the four of old age, sickness, death, and decay, whereas in this sutra, it combines the four of evil conduct, old age, sickness, and death, which are named the Four Terrors (四怖 [si bu]).

勝軍王所問經—【經名】一卷,宋施護譯。與沮渠京聲譯之諫王經,玄奘譯之如來示教勝軍王經,義淨譯之佛為勝光天子說王法經,大同小異。佛為波斯匿勝軍王 Prasenajit 說王法,并說十二因緣。但四山一喻後之三經,合於老病死衰之四、此合於邪行老病死之四、名為四怖。
