7.1

Presented in the seventeenth year of Kaihuang by the translation scholar, Your Subject Fei Zhangfang.

As for the Eastern Jin Catalogue: [The founder] was a great-grandson of Emperor Xuan, a descendant of Martial King of Langya, and the son of Respectful King Jin, named Rui, courtesy name Jingwen. On the morning of his birth, a divine light shone within, illuminating the entire chamber. White hairs grew at the corner of his left eye, and his gaze had a brilliant gleam, dazzling when he looked around. He served successively as Bearer of the Staff of Authority, General Who Stabilizes the East, Commander of Military Affairs in Yang Prefecture, and Left Chancellor. After the downfall of Emperors Huai and Min, the hundred civil officials were scattered; some fled south of the Yangtze, while others were slaughtered by [Liu] Yao. Chang'an lost its hold, and the Emperor was held captive in Pingyang. At that time in Jiangdong, five hundred officials and subjects suddenly urged Rui that he should assume the title King of Jin, to oversee all affairs of state and preside over the myriad people. After Emperor Min passed away, he subsequently ascended the imperial throne, styling the reign era Jianwu, first year. He accordingly made Jianye his capital, which was renamed Jiankang to avoid the taboo of Emperor Min's personal name. Earlier, in the second year of Taikang, when the former Wu general Guan Gong rebelled, Wu Zhen of Jianye cast a divination and said: 'Gong is already destroyed. Yet in another thirty-eight years, Yang Prefecture will have a Son of Heaven.' When this time arrived, it indeed came to pass as he had spoken. Furthermore, in the time of the First Emperor of Qin, those who observed atmospheric signs said: 'After five hundred years, a Son of Heaven shall emerge from the Golden Mound (Jinling) Mountains of Wu.' The First Emperor resented this, so he dispatched troops to cut through the Jinling Mountains and renamed the area Moling, hoping to sever its royal destiny. From the [time of the First Emperor of] Qin until Rui, five hundred and twenty-six years elapsed. The Jin dynasty, ruled under the metal element, took possession of the four seas; the auspicious omen of Jinling resided precisely here. There was also a popular ditty that said: 'Five horses float across the Yangtze; one horse turns into a dragon.' During the catastrophe of Yongjia, the empire collapsed into ruin, and only five kings—Langya, Xiyang, Runan, Nandun, and Pengcheng—managed to cross south of the Yangtze, among whom Rui was the foremost founder, becoming Emperor Yuan. Thus we know that receiving the celestial mandate is prompted from above by the spirits of Heaven, while seeking to establish an expansive realm depends from below on the strategic advantages of the terrain. Earth supported its terrain—though the First Emperor cut into it, it did not perish; Heaven sent down its spirit—though Liu Yao slaughtered, he could not annihilate them all. From the first year of the Jianwu era of Emperor Yuan (dingchou) when the capital was established, down to the first year of the Yuanxi era of Emperor Gong (jiwei) when the throne was abdicated to Song, there was a span of 104 years. In that period, there were twenty-seven individuals—Chinese and barbarian, monastic and lay—who produced sūtras, which together with old anonymous translations total 263 works in 585 fascicles, compiled here as the Jiankang Catalogue of the Twelve Rulers of the Eastern Jin.

The above three works, totaling eleven fascicles, were translated during the reign of Emperor Yuan by the Western Regions śramaṇa Śrīmitra, whose name in Jin means 'Auspicious Friend'. He was the son of a king; due to inherit the royal throne, he yielded the realm to his younger brother, silently emulating Taibo as inner awakening arose in his heart, whereupon he became a śramaṇa. His natural endowment was lofty and luminous, and his demeanor spirited and preeminent. Merely to encounter him face-to-face was already to find him extraordinary and transcending the worldly realm, to say nothing of his keen eloquence in conversation. Chancellor Wang Dao admired him greatly upon first meeting him, considering him one of his own kind; through this, [Śrīmitra's] fame spread widely. Wang Dao once said to [Śrī]mitra: 'In foreign lands, there is only you as an exemplary gentleman.' Mitra laughed and replied: 'If this poor monk were like you, the Dānapati, how could I have journeyed all the way here today?' People of the time considered this an excellent retort. He was skilled in dhāraṇī practices, and all his rituals proved efficacious; he was widely popular in Jiankang, and the people of that era called him the High Seat Master of the Dharma. He also instructed his disciples, such as Mili, in high-voiced Sanskrit chanting, whose echoes have been handed down to the present day.

In the reign of Emperor Xiaowu, the śramaṇa Zhu Dharmaratna of the Western Regions—in the language of Jin, Fazheng—produced them at the Xie Zhenxi Monastery in the capital Yangdu, taking the essentials needed by the world and abridging them from larger works. Only two sūtras are recorded in Sengyou's catalogue; the rest are found scattered across separate catalogues.

7.130

Madhyama Āgama, in sixty fascicles (produced at Dongting Monastery from the eleventh month of the first year of Long'an to the sixth month of the second year; transcribed by Daozu; second translation; greatly differs from the translation by Dharmanandin; see Daozu's catalogue).

7.134

Jiaoshou biqiuni fa (Method for Instructing Bhikṣuṇīs), in one fascicle (appears in a separate catalogue; also produced at Mount Lu).

7.135

The above five works, totaling one hundred and seventeen fascicles. During the reigns of Emperor Xiaowu and Emperor An, the Tripiṭaka master Gautama Saṅghadeva of the country of Jibin—in the language of Jin, Zhongtian—crossed the Yangtze during the Yao era of the Later Qin. Prior to this, Huiyuan of Mount Lu had been ardently seeking wondrous scriptures; hearing that Saṅghadeva had arrived, he invited him to Mount Lu to translate them together, pruning away embellishments and preserving the substance; what is transmitted today is indeed that text. In the spring of the final year of the Long'an era, he traveled to Jiankang; none of the princes, dukes, and eminent men of letters of the Jin dynasty failed to visit his seat. By winter, for the General of the Palace Guard and Marquis of Dongting, Wang Xun, he retranslated the Madhyama and Ekottarika Āgamas, among others, assembling forty śramaṇas including the eminent master of the capital Shi Huichi to collaboratively translate them in detail; it was completed by the following summer. The scriptures and treatises he produced earlier and later along the Yangtze and Luo rivers exceeded one million words, all exquisitely capturing the profound import.

7.136

Pini song (Vinaya Recitation), in three fascicles (this is the Shisong [Daśabhāṇavāra]; the later Shansong).

7.137

Zawen lüshi (Miscellaneous Inquiries on Vinaya Matters), in two fascicles (Zhonglü yaoyong; both appear in the catalogue of the Two Qin).

7.138

The above two works, totaling five fascicles. In the reign of Emperor An, the Tripiṭaka Vinaya master Vimalākṣa of the country of Jibin—in the language of Jin, Wugouyan—arrived in Chang'an in the eighth year of Hongshi of the Yao Qin. When Kumārajīva passed away, he went to Shouchun and stayed at Shijian Monastery. Vinaya disciples gathered like clouds, and he broadly propagated the Vinaya. The Daśabhāṇavāra translated by Kumārajīva was in fifty-eight fascicles; Vimalākṣa subsequently expanded it into sixty-one fascicles, changing 'Shansong' to 'Pini song', hence there are two names today. Later, he went to Jiangling and produced the Lü zashi (Miscellaneous Matters of the Vinaya); transcribed by Huiguan of Daochang Monastery, it circulated widely in the world and has been transmitted down to the present day.

7.139

Zhonglü yaoyong (Essential Applications of the Various Vinayas), in two fascicles (the persons and places differ, and the text also differs greatly; see a separate catalogue).

7.140

The above one work, in two fascicles. On the second day of the third month in the fourth year of Long'an in the reign of Emperor An, the śramaṇa Shi Sengzun and more than twenty other virtuous monks, at the vihāra of the Prefect of the Masters of Writing Wang Fadu in Yangzhou, invited the Tripiṭaka Vinaya master Dharma—in the language of Jin, Fazhan—to translate it. The preface on Vinaya matters is complete. At the beginning of the scroll, it clarifies the boundaries and divisions regarding the mutual involvement of the property of the Buddha, Dharma, and Saṅgha; the distinctions are extremely critical, and one must guard them well.

7.141

Avataṃsaka Sūtra, in fifty fascicles (produced at Daochang Monastery in the fourteenth year of Yixi, and only completed in the second year of Yongchu of the Song dynasty; or in sixty fascicles; see Zhu Daozu's Jinshi zalu).

7.142

Guanfo sanmei jing (Sūtra on the Samādhi of Contemplating the Buddha), in eight fascicles (also named Guanfo sanmeihai jing; see Zhu Daozu's Jinshi zalu; some say it was produced in the Song dynasty).

7.143

Guoqu yinguo jing (Sūtra on Past Causes and Effects), in four fascicles (see a separate catalogue).

7.144

Xin Wuliangshou jing (New Sūtra of Immeasurable Life), in two fascicles (produced at Daochang Monastery in the second year of Yongchu; see Baochang's catalogue).

7.145

Dharmatrāta Dhyāna Sūtra, in two fascicles (also named Bujingguan jing [Sūtra on Contemplation of Impurity], also named Xiuxing daodi jing [Yogācārabhūmi]).

7.146

Tathāgatagarbha Sūtra, in one fascicle (produced at Daochang Monastery in the second year of Yuanxi; this is the second translation; see Daozu's Jinshi zalu; slightly differs from the one produced by Fali).

7.147

Wenshushili fayuan ji jing (Sūtra of Mañjuśrī's Vow Gāthās), in one fascicle (produced at Daochang Monastery in the second year of Yuanxi; after the sūtra it records the year as gengshen; one edition lacks the word 'gāthā'; see Baochang's catalogue).

7.148

Chusheng wuliangmen chi jing (Anantamukha-nirhāra-dhāraṇī Sūtra), in one fascicle (also named Chengdao jiangmo de yiqie zhi jing [Sūtra on Attaining the Path, Subduing Māra, and Obtaining Omniscience]; translated at Mount Lu; see Zhu Daozu's Jinshi zalu).

7.149

Benye jing (Sūtra of Original Karma), in one fascicle.

7.150

Xin weimi chi jing (New Dhāraṇī Sūtra of the Subtle and Secret), in one fascicle (second translation, in the second year of Long'an; largely the same as, with minor differences from, the translation by Zhi Qian of the Wu era; see Zhu Daozu's Jinshi zalu).

7.151

Jing liu boluomi jing (Sūtra on Purifying the Six Pāramitās), in one fascicle.

7.152

Pusa shizhu jing (Sūtra on the Ten Abodes of Bodhisattvas), in one fascicle (third translation).

7.153

Mahāsāṃghika Vinaya, in forty fascicles (translated together with Faxian in the eleventh month of the twelfth year of Yixi; see Zhu Daozu's Jinshi zalu and a separate catalogue; or in thirty fascicles).

7.154

Sengqi da biqiu jieben (Mahāsāṃghika Prātimokṣa for Great Bhikṣus), in one fascicle (translated at Daochang Monastery; second translation; see Baochang's catalogue).

7.155

Fangbian xin lun (Upāyahṛdaya-śāstra), in one fascicle (produced together with Faye; see Gaoseng zhuan).

7.156

The above fifteen works, totaling one hundred and fifteen fascicles. In the reign of Emperor An, the Tripiṭaka Dhyāna master Buddhabhadra of Northern India—in the language of Jin, Juexian—translated them in two places: the capital Yangdu and Mount Lu. The śramaṇas Faye, Huiyi, Huiyan, and others collaboratively transcribed them in detail. The Gaoseng zhuan states: 'Bhadra produced fifteen works, including the Nirvāṇa and the Xiuxing [Dhyāna Sūtra], totaling one hundred and seventeen fascicles.' Relying on Baochang's catalogue to supplement the Wuliangshou jing and the Jieben, although the number of works is complete, it is still short by two fascicles, and it is not yet clear which scriptures these are. May erudite figures of future generations continue this, hoping to repair what was omitted so as to fulfill the stream of the Dharma.

7.157

Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra, in six fascicles (produced at Daochang Monastery of Duke Xie Shi, Minister of Works, in the thirteenth year of Yixi. An old catalogue states: produced by Buddhabhadra, transcribed by Baoyun; it is the first portion of the large text, the ten fascicles of the Chapter on the Questions of the Great Assembly; see Daozu's catalogue; or in ten fascicles).

7.158

Fangdeng nihuan jing (Vaipulya Nirvāṇa Sūtra), in two fascicles (see Zhu Daozu's Jinshi zalu).

7.159

Zazang jing (Kṣudrakapiṭaka Sūtra), in one fascicle (shares the same scripture with the Gui wen Mulian, the Egui baoying, and the Mulian shuo diyu egui yinyuan, being four different translations of the same sūtra; see Baochang's catalogue).

7.160

Sengqi ni jieben (Mahāsāṃghika Prātimokṣa for Bhikṣuṇīs), in one fascicle (translated together with Buddhabhadra; this is the second translation; slightly differs from the one produced by [Dharmakāla] of the Wei dynasty).

7.161

Saṃyuktābhidharmahṛdaya-śāstra, in thirteen fascicles (translated together with Buddhabhadra; this is the second translation; largely the same as the one produced by Saṅghabhadra of the Former Qin).

7.162

Liyou Tianzhu jizhuan (Account of the Travels through India), in one fascicle.

7.163

The above six works, totaling twenty-four fascicles. The śramaṇa Shi Faxian of Pingyang set out from Chang'an in the third year of Long'an of Emperor An, traveled across India to seek sacred traces from afar, and searched for the sūtras, vinayas, and treatises that the Jin lacked. Passing through various countries, he learned the Indic scripts and language, and copied the aforementioned Indic texts by his own hand. Traveling from the north to the south, he next arrived at the country of Siṃhala, where there was a tooth of the Buddha. Every year in the third month, the king of that country, ten days in advance, would adorn a white elephant and dispatch a noble, eloquent, and wise minister dressed in royal attire, who beat a drum atop the elephant and proclaimed with a loud voice: 'The Tathāgata remained in the world for forty-nine years, preaching the Dharma and liberating immeasurable hundreds of millions of people. When the karmic affinity of sentient beings was exhausted, he entered parinirvāṇa. Since then, one thousand four hundred and ninety-seven years have passed. The world has long been in darkness, and sentient beings are pitiable! Ten days from now, the Buddha's tooth will be brought forth to the Abhayagiri Vihāra; all may prepare incense and flowers and come to make offerings!' At that time, it corresponded exactly to the first year of Yixi of the Jin. Faxian returned by sea and reached Yangdu, where he translated sūtras, precepts, and treatises at Daochang Monastery. A separate biography details the full record of his journeys. Counting from the first year of Yixi, the cyclical year yisi, up to the present seventeenth year of Kaihuang, the cyclical year dingsi, it amounts to one thousand six hundred and eighty-one years.

7.164

Yingluo jing (Jeweled Necklace Sūtra), in twelve fascicles (or fourteen fascicles); Vimalakīrtinirdeśa Sūtra, in four fascicles (third translation).

7.168

*Wusuo xiwang jing*, one fascicle;

7.182

The above twenty-five works, in forty-six fascicles, were translated by the Western Regions śramaṇa Jītamitra (in Jin called Heyou). All catalogues state that Jītamitra produced them during the Jin dynasty; since the translated titles are mostly consistent, it is presumably not fabricated. If not in Xianyang or Luoyang, it must have been south of the Yangtze River, though the specific emperor is unclear. One work is recorded in Sengyou's *Chu sanzang jiji*; the rest are all contained in various miscellaneous and separate catalogues.

7.183

*Dacheng fangbian jing* (Upāyakauśalya Sūtra), two fascicles (translated in the second year of Yuanxi; this is the third translation, slightly different from the translations by Fahu and Saṅghabhadra, and an alternate translation of the same original as the *Huishang pusa suowen jing*; seen in the *Shixing lu*);

7.184

*Qing Guanshiyin xiaofu duhai tuoluoni jing*, one fascicle (second translation; seen in the *Fashang lu*);

7.185

7.186

The above three works in four fascicles were translated by the foreign upāsaka Zhu Nandi (in Jin called Xifa). The catalogue above states that they were translated during the Jin dynasty, though the specific emperor and regnal year are unclear.

7.187

*Wuliangshou zhizhen dengzhengjue jing* (Sukhāvatīvyūha Sūtra), one fascicle (also titled *Le fotu jing*; also titled *Jile fotu jing*).

7.188

The above single scripture in one fascicle was translated in the second month of the first year of Yuanxi of Emperor Gong by the foreign śramaṇa Zhu Fali. This is the sixth translation; it is largely identical in content to the versions produced by Zhi Qian, Saṅghavarman, Bai Yan, Zhu Fahu, Kumārajīva, and others, with slight variations in title and phrasing. Seen in the śramaṇa Zhengdu's catalogue.

7.189
