There's probably texts from other faiths in the tripitaka of taisho as well?

As noted there are two that seem to be from two Indian philosophical schools or perhaps ancient religions I'm not familiar with, and a some Manichean writing too.

Of course, the extent to which "Orthodox Buddhism" itself has been influenced by other religions is open for debate. It's often a prickly debate. There are some who see a lot of Zoroastrian influence in some strains of Pure Land thought; it's hard for me to say one way or the other.

This is truly fascinating!

Can you tell me about when Buddha became ill suddenly after he ate a special delicacy, Sukaramaddava, literally translated as "soft pork", which had been prepared by his generous host, Cunda Kammaraputta.

Cunda Kammaraputta was of a caste that performed what?
Skuaramaddava could also refer to other meat?
