The usual assumption is that Kundakunda is influenced by Naagaarjuna,
but we don't really know.
I would think that the idea of two truths originates from abhidharma
of some kind.
>(I see the the idea of double truth as related to that of purusha/prakrit).
How is that ?

I don't think we really know his exact date either.
