Candrapradīpa-samādhi-sūtra, eleven fascicles (also in ten fascicles; one case).
Translated by the Tianzhu Tripiṭaka Master Narendrayaśas of the Northern Qi (a complete text, translated later; combined listing of sole and multiple translations).
Candrapradīpa-samādhi-sūtra, one fascicle (also named Sūtra on the Ten Practices of the Bodhisattva Mañjuśrī).
Translated by the Song śramaṇa Shi Xiangong (second separate translation).
The one sūtra above is a separate translation taken from the seventh fascicle of the earlier Great Candrapradīpa-sūtra (the first separate single-fascicle translation is lost).
Apratihatābha-sūtra (Sūtra of Having No Expectation), one fascicle (also named Sūtra of the Elephant's Walk).
Translated by the Western Jin Tripiṭaka Master Dharmarakṣa (second translation).
Hastikakṣya-sūtra (Sūtra of the Elephant's Armpit), one fascicle.
Translated by the Song Tripiṭaka Master Dharmamitra of Kashmir (fourth translation).
The two sūtras above are different translations of the same text (out of four translations in all, two are lost).
Great Pure Dharma-Door Sūtra, one fascicle.
Translated by the Western Jin Tripiṭaka Master Dharmarakṣa (first translation).
Great Adornment Dharma-Door Sūtra, two fascicles.
Translated by the Sui Tianzhu Tripiṭaka Master Narendrayaśas (third translation).
The two sūtras above are different translations of the same text (out of three translations in all, one translation is lost).
Sarvabuddhaviṣayāvatārajñānālokālaṅkāra-sūtra (Sūtra of the Tathāgata's Adornment of the Radiance of Wisdom Entering the Realm of All Buddhas), two fascicles.
Translated by the Northern Wei Tianzhu Tripiṭaka Master Dharmaruci (first translation).
Sūtra on the Adornment of Wisdom Entering the Realm of All Buddhas, one fascicle.
Translated by the Liang Tripiṭaka Master Saṅghabhara and others from Funan (second translation).
The two sūtras above are different translations of the same text.
Later-Translated Verses on Amitābha Buddha Sūtra, one fascicle (a different text from the subsequent sūtras; sometimes without the word "Sūtra").
Anonymous translation of the Later Han (second translation; of the two translations, one is lost).
Sūtra on the Contemplation of the Buddha of Immeasurable Life, one fascicle (also called Contemplation of Amitāyus Sūtra; a different text from the preceding and succeeding sūtras).
Translated by the Song Western Regions Tripiṭaka Master Kālayaśas (first translation; of two translations, one is lost).
Amitābha-sūtra, one fascicle (also named Sūtra of Immeasurable Life).
Translated by the Yao Qin Tripiṭaka Master Kumārajīva (first translation; the second translation is lost).
Sūtra in Praise of the Pure Land and Embraced by the Buddhas, one fascicle (also simply called Sūtra in Praise of the Pure Land).
Translated by the Great Tang Tripiṭaka Master Xuanzang (listed in the Neidian Lu; third translation).
The two sūtras above are different translations of the same text (with regard to the Lesser Sūtra of Immeasurable Life translated by Guṇabhadra, search for its text has yielded nothing; even if it exists in various canons, its text is identical to that of Kumārajīva's Amitābha-sūtra without difference).
The above eleven sūtras in thirteen fascicles are in the same case.
Sūtra on the Contemplation of the Bodhisattva Maitreya's Ascent to Tuṣita Heaven, one fascicle (also called Maitreya's Ascent Sūtra).
Translated by the Song upāsaka Juqu Jingsheng (sole translation).
Although the above Ascent Sūtra is a sole translation, it is arranged here according to the order of the Sūtra on Maitreya's Attaining Buddhahood.
Sūtra on Maitreya's Attaining Buddhahood, one fascicle (a different text from the subsequent sūtras).
Translated by the Yao Qin Tripiṭaka Master Kumārajīva (second translation; of two translations, one is lost).
Sūtra on the Coming of Maitreya, one fascicle (an anonymous translation; listed in Fashang's catalogue, now appended to the Eastern Jin catalogue; third translation).
Sūtra on the Descent of Maitreya, one fascicle (also named Sūtra on Maitreya Receiving the Prophecy; opening with "The greatly wise Śāriputra").
Translated by the Yao Qin Tripiṭaka Master Kumārajīva (fourth translation).
(I respectfully note that both Changfang's catalogue and the Neidian Lu state that the Sūtra on the Descent of Maitreya which begins with "The greatly wise Śāriputra" was first translated by the Chang'an śramaṇa Shi Daobiao and was subsequently revised and abridged by the śramaṇa Daozheng of Jiangzhou under the Xiao Qi. Examining this statement now, I think it may not be so. Shi Daobiao was a monk who elucidated meaning under Kumārajīva's tutelage, and was not originally a principal translator. Even if Daobiao translated it, how could the phrasing and meaning have been inadequate? When it came to the Qi dynasty, why would Daozheng revise it again? The years were far apart, and the accounts conflict. What is said there about Daozheng's abridgment is difficult to take as standard. The small interlinear commentary within the sūtra actually says "the language of Qin"; thus it was indeed a Qin translation, and there is no need to be confused. Its earlier inclusion in Kumārajīva's catalogue marks it as his production).
Sūtra on the Descent of Maitreya to Attain Buddhahood, one fascicle.
Translated by the Tripiṭaka Master Yijing under the Empress of the Great Tang (sixth translation).
The three sūtras above are different translations of the same text (out of six translations in all, three translations are lost).
Sūtra of the King of Courageous Phenomena, one fascicle.
Translated by the Song Tripiṭaka Master Dharmamitra of Kashmir (second translation).
Sūtra of the Lofty King of All Phenomena, one fascicle (also named Sūtra of the King of Meaning of All Phenomena).
Translated by the Northern Wei Brahmin Gautama Prajñāruci (listed in the preface record; third translation).
(The preface record at the beginning of the above sūtra states: "In the fourth year of the Xinghe era of the Wei, the year renxu, in the late summer, the sixth month beginning on yiwei, on the twenty-third day dingzi, the translation was begun by the Brahmin guest Gautama Prajñāruci and the śramaṇa Tanlin at Dingchang Temple of Grand Defender Dou, comprising 8,449 characters." That various catalogues all say it was translated by Bodhiruci is an error; now the preface record is relied on as correct. As for the Sūtra of the Lofty King of All Phenomena being listed as a sole translation in the Zhou Catalogue, that is also an error).
The two sūtras above are different translations of the same text (out of three translations in all, one translation is lost).
Sūtra of the Supreme Dharma of Ultimate Meaning, one fascicle.
Translated by the Northern Wei Brahmin Gautama Prajñāruci (listed in the preface record; first translation).
(The preface record at the beginning of the above sūtra states: "In the fourth year of the Xinghe era of the Wei, the year renxu, on the first day jiazi of the ninth month, Gautama [Prajñā]ruci and the śramaṇa Tanlin translated 5,576 characters at the mansion of Lord Gao, the Minister of the Department of State Affairs with the rank of Yitong." That various catalogues all say it was translated by Bodhiruci is an error; now the preface record is relied on as correct).
Sūtra on the Doubts Inquired by the Rṣi of Great Awe and Lamp-like Radiance, one fascicle.
Translated by the Sui Tianzhu Tripiṭaka Master Jñānagupta and others (second translation).
The two sūtras above are different translations of the same text.
Sūtra on Conforming to Skill in Means, two fascicles (also named Sūtra on the Bodhisattva Transforming from a Female Body; or in one fascicle).
Translated by the Western Jin Tripiṭaka Master Dharmarakṣa (second translation).
Sūtra on the Chapter on the Expedient Means of Delighting in the Adornment of Necklaces, one fascicle (also called Sūtra of the Questions and Answers of the Bodhisattva Transforming from a Female Body).
Translated by the Yao Qin Tripiṭaka Master Dharmayaśas of Kashmir (listed in the postscript to the sūtra; third translation).
The two sūtras above are different translations of the same text. (Regarding the Sūtra of Delighting in the Adornment of Necklaces: examining the various catalogues, some say it was translated by Kumārajīva under the Yao Qin, while others say it was translated by Fahai under the Song dynasty. Now, according to the postscript of the sūtra, it says that the bhikṣu Huifa requested the Vibhāṣā master Dharmayaśas at the Qin Temple of Kashmir to translate the foreign text into Chinese. The location of the Qin Temple in Kashmir is not clearly known, but since Yaśas translated it, there should be no error. Various catalogues all say that Dharmayaśas was skilled in the Vibhāṣā and people of the time called him Vibhāṣā; therefore, the translator of the Śāriputrābhidharma-vibhāṣā listed in Sengyou's catalogue was this very person. The sounds of she and shi are close. It is now removed from Kumārajīva's catalogue and appended to the catalogue of Dharmayaśas; of four translations in all, two translations are lost).
The above eleven sūtras in twelve fascicles are in the same case.
Ṣaṭ-pāramitā-saṃgraha-sūtra (Compendium of the Six Perfections), eight fascicles (also named Sūtra on the Limitlessness of the Six Perfections; or in nine fascicles).
Translated by the Wu Tianzhu Tripiṭaka Master Kang Senghui (combined listing of multiple and sole translations).
Prince Sudāna Sūtra, one fascicle (or Sudatta).
