大唐內典錄 9.8.1

9.8.1

Buddhāvataṃsaka-sūtra (60 fascicles, or 50 fascicles; 1,087 sheets, 28 lines per sheet)
Translated by Buddhabhadra in the Yandu capital during the Yixi era of the Eastern Jin.
The one scripture above has fourteen different translations earlier and later, namely the Dushi [jing], the Jianbei [yiqiezhide jing], the Xinli [jing], the Shizhu [jing], the Xingxian [jing], the Luojia [jing], the Zhufa benye [jing], the Dousha [jing], the Fozang [jing], and so forth. All are excerpts and abridgements from the main text, circulated as separate chapters; their texts may appear or disappear, but their doctrinal purport is identical. Therefore, they are not catalogued here.
Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra (40 fascicles, or 36 fascicles; 720 sheets)
Translated by Dharmakṣema in the Liang capital during the Xuanshi era of Juqu [Mengxun] of the Northern Liang.
The one scripture above had five translations, but their branch chapters were incomplete and insufficient for general circulation; thus the above scripture is listed to subsume the remaining texts.
Mahāprajñāpāramitā-sūtra (40 fascicles, or 30 fascicles; 619 sheets)
Translated by Kumārajīva at the Ximing Pavilion in the Xiaoyao Garden of Chang'an during the Hongshi era of the Later Qin.
The one scripture above has ten translations earlier and later: namely the Fangguang, Guangzan, Daoxing, and Xiaopin, each having newer and older [versions], as well as the Mingdu wuji, Yiri chaopin, and so on. Overlapping and redundant, they are seldom consulted; listing the former unifies the Great Meaning in full. The Mahāprajñāpāramitā-sūtra later translated at Yuhua [Palace] sets forth the Buddha's single teaching career in sixteen assemblies, expounded according to the assemblies in some six hundred fascicles. It may be called the great path of the wisdom transcendence (jñāna/prajñā) by which the Buddhas have come, the boundless and limitless great ocean of wisdom. It is suited for veneration and offerings, but difficult to use for everyday practice. For this reason, Kumārajīva translated its śāstra in more than one thousand fascicles, but what the people of Qin transmitted omitted nine parts out of ten. Here, both sides are brought into harmony, adapting to circumstances as appropriate.
Mahāvaipulya Mahāsaṃnipāta-sūtra (60 fascicles, or 58 fascicles; 1,150 sheets)
The first 30 fascicles were translated by Dharmakṣema under the Northern Liang;
The latter 30 fascicles were translated by [Narendrayaśas] during the Northern Qi and Sui.
The one scripture above has fourteen translations earlier and later, namely the Da'ai [jing], Kongzang [jing], Baoji [jing], Baonü [jing], Wujinyi [jing], Achamo [jing], Baoxing [jing], Jingxing [jing], Zizaiwang [jing], Fenxunwang [jing], Xumizang [jing], Wuyan tongzi [jing], and so forth. All are records of separate chapters of the root scripture, which later people circulated separately according to section. Now they are collectively synthesised into the duplicate text, without need to unpack them for later generations.

In the Daye era of the Sui, [Jñāna]gupta made a later translation, adding five sheets to the 'Medicinal Herbs' chapter; the various mantras are entirely different, and the 'Entrustment' chapter was moved to the end. Depending on what suits the faculty of the listener, it does not diminish the Qin translation.
