Mahāvaipulya Mahāsaṃnipāta-sūtra, thirty-one fascicles. (Third translation; slightly different in length from the twenty-seven fascicles produced by Lokakṣema during the Han dynasty and the thirty fascicles produced by Kumārajīva during the Qin dynasty. Some say twenty-nine fascicles, some say thirty-three; the discrepancy is due to copies being made before it was collated and finalized when first produced, leading to divergent texts. It is now verified through the translation. Appears in Zhu Daozu's Catalogue.)
