俱舍論疏 1.57

1.57

論「此諸慧論至阿毘達磨」，釋世俗對法得名所以。已上出二種對法體也。言諸論者，謂六足及《發智》等論。言六足者，舍利子造《集異門足論》，一萬二千頌，略本八千頌（舍利此云百舌鳥，子是唐言也）。大目健連造《法蘊足論》，六千頌（目健連此云採菽氏，大是唐言。故《法蘊足論》云大採菽氏）。大迦多衍那造《施設足論》，一萬八千頌（迦多此云剪剃，衍此云種，那是男聲。婆羅門中第一姓也）。已上三論佛在世時造。佛涅槃後一百年中，提婆設摩造《識身足論》，七千頌（此云賢寂）。至三百年初，伐蘇密多羅造《品類足論》，六千頌（即是舊《眾事分阿毘曇》也）。又造《界身足論》，廣本六千頌，略本七百頌（伐蘇密多羅，此云世友也）。至三百年末，迦多衍尼子《造發智論》，二萬五千頌。後代誦者廣略不同，一本一萬八千頌，一本一萬六千頌。此本即是唐三藏所翻。前之六論義門稍小，《發智》一論法門最廣，故後代論師說六為足，《發智》為身。此上七論是諸論根本也。唐三藏，唯《施設足論》未翻，餘之六論皆悉翻訖。

The treatise says, "These various wisdoms and treatises [are called abhidharma because they lead to obtaining that ultimate abhidharma, or they explain its characteristics]." This explains the reason why conventional abhidharma obtains its name. The preceding has set forth the essence of the two kinds of abhidharma. When it says "the various treatises," it refers to the six pāda-śāstras and the Jñānaprasthāna, and so forth. As for the six pāda-śāstras: Śāriputra composed the Saṅgītiparyāya-pāda-śāstra in 12,000 verses, with an abridged recension of 8,000 verses (Śāri here means "shrike/blackbird," and putra [son] is in the Chinese language). Mahāmaudgalyāyana composed the Dharmaskandha-pāda-śāstra in 6,000 verses (Maudgalyāyana here means "clansman of legume gatherers," and Mahā [great] is in the Chinese language; thus the Dharmaskandha-pāda-śāstra names him "the Great Legume Gatherer"). Mahākātyāyana composed the Prajñapti-pāda-śāstra in 18,000 verses (kātya here means "shaving/cutting," ayana here means "lineage," and na is the masculine gender; it is the foremost lineage among the brāhmaṇas). The above three treatises were composed while the Buddha was in the world. Within one hundred years after the Buddha's parinirvāṇa, Devaśarman composed the Vijñānakāya-pāda-śāstra in 7,000 verses (this [name] means "Virtuous Quietude"). By the beginning of the three-hundredth year, Vasumitra composed the Prakaraṇa-pāda-śāstra in 6,000 verses (this is the older Zhongshifen Abhidharma). He also composed the Dhātukāya-pāda-śāstra, with an expanded recension of 6,000 verses and an abridged recension of 700 verses (Vasumitra here means "Friend of the World"). By the end of the three-hundredth year, Kātyāyanīputra composed the Jñānaprasthāna-śāstra in 25,000 verses. In later generations, the reciters had different versions, expanded and abridged: one version of 18,000 verses, and another of 16,000 verses. This latter version is the one translated by the Tripiṭaka Master of the Tang. The scope of doctrinal headings in the former six treatises is somewhat smaller, whereas the single treatise Jñānaprasthāna has the most extensive range of dharmas. Therefore, masters of the treatises in later generations stated that the six are the "feet" (pāda) and the Jñānaprasthāna is the "body" (śarīra). These seven treatises above are the foundation of all treatises. Of these, the Tripiṭaka Master of the Tang only left the Prajñapti-pāda-śāstra untranslated; the remaining six treatises have all been translated.
