texts, which is the third error. The Xiangbu jing is an alternate title for the Wusuoxingwang jing, yet both titles are retained, which is the fourth error. The Puti wuxing jing is an alternate title for the Wenshushili wen puti jing, yet both recensions are retained, which is the fifth error. Placing the Sāṃkhya non-Buddhist treatise into the Mahāyāna section is the sixth error. In the Hīnayāna catalogue, the Dharmatrāta-dhyāna-sūtra and the Fujingguan jing are fundamentally the same sūtra; the 'contemplation of impurity' is named after its method, while 'Dharmatrāta' derives its appellation from the person, yet both works are retained, which is the seventh error. The Sarvâstivāda-vinaya in sixty-one fascicles and the Sarvâstivāda-vinaya in fifty-nine fascicles are not different texts; the sixty-one-fascicle version merely placed Vimalākṣa's Vinaya preface at the end, and the remainder is completely identical, yet the catalogue calls it a retranslation and retains both recensions, which is the eighth error. The 'Vinaya in Twenty-two [Stanzas]' is placed under the vinaya section, while the Mingliao lun is placed under the śāstra section, splitting a single title into two, which is the ninth error. Furthermore, that 'Vinaya in Twenty-two' is half the title of the Mingliao lun, yet retaining it now as a 'Vinaya in twenty-two fascicles' is a repeated mistake upon a mistake. As for the Fenbie gongde lun (Abhidharma treatise of the Fenbie gongde), in the chronological dynastic catalogue it is said to have been translated under the Song dynasty by Guṇabhadra together with Bodhiyaśas, yet in the canon entry it is recorded as having an unknown origin; this discrepancy between front and back is the tenth error. The others remain in the catalogue, but cannot be recounted in full).

Sui Catalogue of Buddhist Scriptures in Five Fascicles (Compiled in the second year of Renshou by imperial decree ordering the venerable elders of Xingshan Temple along with translating śramaṇas and scholars).
Totaling 2,109 works in 5,059 fascicles.
Sole translations (originally a single text with no other translation: totaling 370 works in 1,786 fascicles).
The above is the first fascicle.
Retranslations (originally a single scripture, with some translated twice or even up to six times: totaling 277 works in 583 fascicles).
Compilations and biographies of the sages and worthies (composed by sages and worthies, whose translations have an origin: totaling 41 works in 164 fascicles).
The above is the second fascicle. (The preceding two fascicles, comprising three categories, total 688 works in 2,533 fascicles, entered into the canon and found in the catalogue).
Extracted texts (excerpts copied out from their primary works to circulate separately: totaling 810 works in 1,288 fascicles).
The above is the third fascicle.
Doubtful and spurious texts (titles may seem genuine, but their doctrinal purport involves human fabrication: totaling 209 works in 491 fascicles).
The above is the fourth fascicle. (The preceding two fascicles, comprising two categories, total 1,019 works in 1,779 fascicles, and do not need to be copied).
Lost texts (titles are in older catalogues, but no manuscripts survive: totaling 402 works in 747 fascicles, sought for inquiry).
The above is the fifth fascicle.
Its preface states in brief: 'Extracted texts and doubtful or spurious texts need not be copied; the other three categories outside of these are collected and entered into the canon. Works such as the Fabao ji and Jingzhuzi are treated like abridgments and by rule entered into the extracted texts. Remaining works such as biographies of monks contain prose mingled with civil history and are not pure in style; although their events may be investigated, their doctrinal purport does not warrant inclusion in the catalogue.' The Neidian lu states: 'At present, throughout the capital, copying flourishes widely; it merely lists scripture titles and arranges their translations, but omits more than half, making it insufficient for reference.' (The compiler says: I have examined this catalogue, and it is not without errors. For instance, the Hongdao guangxian sanmei jing and the Anavatapta-nāgarāja-sūtra are two titles for a single scripture, yet both are said to be translated by Dharmarakṣa and both texts are retained, which is the first error. Furthermore, the Lalitavistara in eight fascicles is said to be translated by Dharmarakṣa of the Western Jin, but in the catalogue of lost texts, the Lalitavistara in eight fascicles is again said to be translated by Dharmarakṣa; recording it both as extant and lost is the second error. Again, in the catalogue of texts entered into the canon, the Lalitavistara in eight fascicles is called a sole translation, yet in the catalogue of lost texts it is called a retranslation; this contradiction between the extant and lost sections is the third error. The Mahāyānasaṃgraha in twelve fascicles and that in fifteen fascicles translated by Paramārtha, though varying in fascicle count, do not differ in text; yet now both recensions are retained, which is the fourth error. The Mahīśāsaka-karman is repeatedly recorded in the catalogue of lost texts, which is the fifth error. Categorizing the Suiyuan wangsheng jing and Yijiao lun as doubtful or spurious is the sixth error. The remainder in the catalogue cannot be fully noted).
