Were Jingshu indeed He Jingshu, the name would be taken from that of a Han-dynasty person, a monk, who had supernatural powers. His name was He Jingshu, and he is described in "Jainism and Early Buddhism: Essais in Honor of Padmanabh S. Jaini" p. 615, edited by Olle Qvarnström. At work at making a buddhist statue he lacked sufficient wood to make the halo behind the figure. He discovered by his own that another branch of the He familie possessed a shield made of paulownia-wood, which he obtained and used to finish his statue.
