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.
