大唐內典錄 10.19

10.19

余撿定其所出小乘別生。二十五經出增一。四十經出中含。一百二十八經出雜含。四經出長含。五十經出生經。五經出賢愚。十二經出道地。八經出義足。餘則本起普曜等經。斯並具錄本部別品流化至於入藏。見錄具引出於四含者。此乃本譯殊品文義俱異。不同出生之經也。恐有迷於兩經。故重銓顯分其名體也。

I have examined and determined the sources of these excerpted Hīnayāna sūtras: twenty-five sūtras come from the Ekottarāgama; forty sūtras come from the Madhyamāgama; one hundred twenty-eight sūtras come from the Saṃyuktāgama; four sūtras come from the Dīrghāgama; fifty sūtras come from the Jātaka-sūtra; five sūtras come from the Damamūka-nidāna-sūtra; twelve sūtras come from the Yogācārabhūmi; eight sūtras come from the Arthavargīya; and the rest are from such sūtras as the Benqi and the Lalitavistara. All of these were fully catalogued as distinct chapters from their primary corpora, circulated and converted [beings], down to their canonical entry. Those cited in catalogues as emerging from the four Āgamas: these are original translations of distinct chapters whose text and meanings are both different, unlike sūtras that were excerpted [later]. Fearing that people might be confused between these two kinds of sūtras, I have once again critically evaluated and clarified them, distinguishing their titles and contents.
