The above sixty-six works in seventy-two fascicles, under "Buddha's Relics Sun" [and below], either have reliable sources for their translation or are extracted, doubtful, or spurious texts. Now, having traced and ascertained their sources, they are not of lost origin from the Han dynasty. To recompile them together according to the old [method] would risk confusion and disorder; therefore, all are excised here.
Feichang's catalogue states: "The above one hundred and twenty-five works in one hundred and forty-eight fascicles were all compiled by Vinaya Master Sengyou in the Chu Sanzang Jiji. In both the ancient and old catalogues as well as Master Dao'an's catalogue, their origins were lost; combined with the newly collected anonymous translations, the fascicles and works are exceedingly numerous. When collating the various catalogues, corruptions are abundant; overlapping entries are indeed difficult to determine. Without having seen the sūtra fascicles and merely perusing the titles, some are included and have sources, while others are excluded and have no translators. Examining their origins, it is not that they lacked causes. Because of the great passage of time, they are attached to the end here. It is hoped that later widely learned scholars, should they happen to find their original streams, might restore them to the canonical compilation with textual basis, thus clarifying the ocean of Dharma and stilling its waves." Now, upon examining this statement by Feichang, it cannot be relied upon; the detailed investigation of similarities and differences is as set forth above.
The following are newly appended to this catalogue:
Bhadrapāla Bodhisattva Sūtra, one fascicle (also written as Bapo; Dao'an's catalogue calls it Bapoduo Bodhisattva Sūtra; Master Dao'an states it comes from the Vaipulya section, being an alternate translation of the first four chapters of the Pratyutpanna-samādhi Sūtra, the fifth translation);
