Sūtra of Forty-two Sections, one fascicle
The above single sūtra was translated during the reign of Emperor Ming of the Later Han by the Brahmin monk Kāśyapa Mātanga of Central India. Some say "Zhu Shemoteng"; the various catalogues preserve both forms, and it is not clear which is correct. Since it was not translated previously, it is recounted in detail here. In the tenth year of Yongping, he returned eastward with the Han envoy Cai Yin to the city of Luoyang, and translated this sūtra at White Horse Monastery. Arranged according to the catalogues, this is the very progenitor of sūtras in the land of Han. Old catalogues say: this scripture was originally an excerpt of Indian sūtras, derived from a larger work, selecting and gathering essentials, resembling the Classic of Filial Piety in eighteen chapters. Dao'an's catalogue originally listed it as derived from an old catalogue; it is also recorded in Zhu Shixing's Han Catalogue and Sengyou's Collection of Records on the Tripiṭaka. However, when the Great Dharma was first transmitted, few people took refuge in faith, causing Mātanga to conceal his profound understanding and not translate much further. He later passed away in Luoyang. The full account of these details is preserved in Zhu Shixing's catalogue and the Biographies of Eminent Monks, as well as miscellaneous records. Baochang's catalogue states that it was produced by Dharmaratna; this perhaps rests upon the fact that they came at the same time.
Fo benxing jing, five fascicles
Shidi duanjie jing, four fascicles (or eight fascicles according to Zhu Shixing's catalogue)
Erbailiushi jie heyi, two fascicles (found in the Bie lu)
Fahai zang jing, one fascicle (one copy lacks the character "Zang")
Fo bensheng jing, one fascicle
The above five works, totaling thirteen fascicles, were translated during Emperor Ming's reign by the monk Dharmaratna of Central India, who came together with Kāśyapa Mātanga, traveling by different routes and arriving later. At first he produced the Forty-two Sections together with Mātanga; after Mātanga died, Dharmaratna translated these alone. In ancient times, when Emperor Wu of Han excavated the Kunming Pool, he encountered black ash at the bottom and asked Dongfang Shuo about it. Shuo said, "It is not something your servant knows; you may ask the barbarian peoples of the Western Regions." When Dharmaratna arrived, he was subsequently asked about it. Dharmaratna said, "This is the leftover ash from the cosmic conflagration of an eon." Shuo's words were thus verified, and many came to believe. Furthermore, when the envoy Qin Jing returned from the Yuezhi country, he obtained the fourth painted likeness modeled on King Udayana's sandalwood image and brought it to Luoyang. The Emperor ordered that it be copied and venerated atop the Xiyang City Gate and the Xianjie Tomb. Ever since, paint and pigments have circulated down to the present. Moreover, because rival heterodox paths competed when the Buddhadharma first arrived, contemporary affairs were recorded, composing the Han faben neizhuan in five fascicles; its author is unknown, and it survives today.
