Catalogue of Texts with Translations and Extant Manuscripts, Bodhisattvapiṭaka Catalogue, Part 2 (Mahāyāna sūtras, combined multiple and sole translations, Part 2).

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).

Hastikakṣya-sūtra (Sūtra of the Elephant's Armpit), one fascicle.

The two sūtras above are different translations of the same text (out of four translations in all, two are lost).

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).

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).

12.3.2

Translated by the Qifu Qin śramaṇa Shi Shengjian. (The Zhou Catalogue lists it as a sole translation; it is now classified as a repeated translation.)
The one sūtra above is a variant translation extracted from the "Perfection of Giving" in fascicle two of the Sūtra of the Six Perfections.

Bodhisattva Śyāmaka Sūtra, one fascicle (also called Sūtra of the Filial Son Śyāma).
Sengyou's catalogue lists it as an anonymous translation from Master Dao'an's catalogue. (Now attached to the Western Jin catalogue; second translation.)
Śyāmaka Sūtra, one fascicle.
Translated by the Qifu Qin śramaṇa Shi Shengjian. (Fourth translation.)
The two sūtras above are identical in original text, being variant translations extracted from the "Perfection of Giving" in fascicle two of the Sūtra of the Six Perfections.

Prince Mūkapangu Sūtra, one fascicle.
Translated by the Parthian Tripiṭaka master An Shigao of the Later Han. (First translation.)
Prince Mūkapangu Sūtra, one fascicle (Mūka is sometimes written 慕魄).
Translated by the Western Jin Tripiṭaka master Dharmarakṣa. (Third translation; compiled from supplements.)
The two sūtras above are identical in original text, being variant translations extracted from the "Perfection of Śīla" in fascicle four of the Sūtra of the Six Perfections.

Nine-Coloured Deer Sūtra, one fascicle.
Translated by the Wu Yuezhi upāsaka Zhi Qian. (Derived from Fashang's catalogue.)
The one sūtra above is a variant translation extracted from the "Perfection of Vigor" in fascicle six of the Sūtra of the Six Perfections.
The seven sūtras above, fourteen fascicles, share the same case. (The Zhou Catalogue mistakenly lists the Nine-Coloured Deer Sūtra as a sole translation.)

Wordless Jewel-Casket Sūtra, one fascicle.
Translated by the Northern Wei Tianzhu Tripiṭaka master Bodhiruci. (First translation.)
Mahāyāna Free from Words Samantamukha-prabhāsa-garbha Sūtra, one fascicle.
Translated by the Great Tang Central Tianzhu Tripiṭaka master Divākara at West Taiyuan Monastery. (Derived from the Great Zhou Catalogue; third translation.)
Mahāyāna Universal Illuminating Light Treasure Wordless Teaching Sūtra, one fascicle.
Re-translated by the Great Tang Central Tianzhu Tripiṭaka master Divākara. (Compiled from supplements; fourth translation.)
The three sūtras above are different translations of the same text. (The Great Zhou Catalogue states that it is a variant translation of the same text as the Mahāvaipulya Jewel-Casket Sūtra, which is an error. Among the four translations made early and late, one translation is lost.)

Old Woman Sūtra, one fascicle (also called Old Mother Sūtra, or Old Woman Sūtra).
Translated by the Wu Yuezhi upāsaka Zhi Qian. (Compiled from supplements; first translation.)
Old Mother Sūtra, one fascicle.
An anonymous translation in Sengyou's catalogue. (Now attached to the Song catalogue; second translation.)
Old Mother and Six Sons Sūtra, one fascicle (also called Old Mother Sūtra).
Translated by the Song Tianzhu Tripiṭaka master Guṇabhadra. (Third translation.)
The three sūtras above are different translations of the same text.

Candraprabha-kumāra Sūtra, one fascicle (also called Bright Moon Boy Sūtra, or Shenri Sūtra).
Translated by the Western Jin Tripiṭaka master Dharmarakṣa. (First translation.)
Shenri Boy Original Sūtra, one fascicle (the catalogue writes "Dou Ben" by mistake; sometimes omits "ri").
Translated by the Song Tianzhu Tripiṭaka master Guṇabhadra. (Second translation; compiled from supplements.)
Elder Śrīgupta Sūtra, two fascicles (also called Elder Śrīgupta Sūtra).
Translated by the Sui Tianzhu Tripiṭaka master Narendrayaśas. (Fourth translation; one of the four translations is lost.)
The three sūtras above are different translations of the same text. (Although the three sūtras above are of the same original text, their breadth and brevity are entirely different, mutually having additions and omissions. Furthermore, among Zhi Qian's translations there is a Shenri Sūtra in one fascicle, which is said to be a different translation of the same text as the Candraprabha-kumāra Sūtra. Now upon examining the textual passages, the two sūtras do not differ: the father is named Shenri [Śrīgupta] and the son is named Candraprabha. Distinguishing two scrolls based on the names of father and son, since both texts are identical, they are not listed doubly. The Shenri Sūtra is sometimes placed within the Hīnayāna piṭaka, said to be extracted from the Āgamas. Although the Ekottarāgama contains the narrative of the elder Śrīgupta, it does not include the story of Candraprabha-kumāra, and compiling it therein is also likely an error).

Mañjuśrī's Inquiries on Bodhi Sūtra, one fascicle (also called Bodhi Without Practice Sūtra, or simply Bodhi Sūtra).
Translated by the Later Qin Tripiṭaka master Kumārajīva. (First translation.)
Gayāśīrṣa Sūtra, one fascicle (also called Summit of Mount Gayā Sūtra).
Translated by the Northern Wei Tianzhu Tripiṭaka master Bodhiruci. (Second translation.)
Elephant Head Monastery Sūtra, one fascicle.
Translated by the Sui Tianzhu śramaṇa Vinītaruci. (Third translation.)
Mahāyāna Gayāśīrṣa Sūtra, one fascicle.
Translated during the reign of the Great Tang Heavenly Empress by the Tianzhu Tripiṭaka master Bodhiruci. (Derived from the Great Zhou Catalogue; fourth translation.)
The four sūtras above are different translations of the same text. (In the śramaṇa Jingmai's Translation Illustrations, a Bodhi Sūtra in one fascicle is separately recorded; in the Great Zhou Catalogue there is also a Bodhi Without Practice Sūtra in one fascicle. These two sūtras are both variant names of the Mañjuśrī's Inquiries on Bodhi Sūtra translated by Kumārajīva, so there is no need to record them redundantly).

Elder's Son Zhi Sūtra, one fascicle (also called Zhi Sūtra).
Translated by the Parthian Tripiṭaka master An Shigao of the Later Han. (First translation.)
Bodhisattva Shi Sūtra, one fascicle (sometimes called Shi Boy Sūtra, or simply Shi Sūtra).
Translated by the Western Jin śramaṇa Bai Fazu. (Third translation.)
Shi Boy Sūtra, one fascicle.
Translated by the Western Jin śramaṇa Zhi Fadu. (Fourth translation; two of the five translations are lost.)
The three sūtras above are different translations of the same text. (Furthermore, the Great Zhou Catalogue separately records a Zhi Sūtra in one fascicle, which is merely a variant title of the translation by An Shigao and should not be redundantly recorded).

Calf Sūtra, one fascicle.
Translated by the Wu Yuezhi upāsaka Zhi Qian. (Derived from Fashang's catalogue; first translation.)
Milk Light Buddha Sūtra, one fascicle (also called Milk Light Sūtra).
Translated by the Western Jin Tripiṭaka master Dharmarakṣa. (Second translation.)
The two sūtras above are different translations of the same text. (Their breadth and brevity differ slightly; among the four translations made early and late, two translations are lost.)

Vimalabhadrikā Sūtra, one fascicle (sometimes called Womb Sūtra).
Translated by the Western Jin Tripiṭaka master Dharmarakṣa. (Derived from Nie Daozhen's catalogue; second translation.)
(The one sūtra above is said to be of the same text as the Womb Sūtra, both stated to be translated by Dharmarakṣa. Now comparing the two texts, the passages are completely identical, differing only in title; one text is preserved here).

Girl in the Womb Hears the Sūtra, one fascicle (also called Unadorned Girl Sūtra).
Translated by the Northern Liang Tianzhu Tripiṭaka master Dharmakṣema. (Third translation.)
Transforming the Female Body Sūtra, one fascicle.
Translated by the Song Jibin Tripiṭaka master Dharmamitra. (Fourth translation.)
The three sūtras above are different translations of the same text. (The former two sūtras are slightly more abbreviated; of five translations in total, two are lost).
The twenty-one sūtras above, twenty-two fascicles, share the same case.

Anuttarāśraya Sūtra, two fascicles.
Translated by the Liang Tianzhu Tripiṭaka master Paramārtha. (Complete text; second translation; derived from the postscript to the sūtra.)
(Concerning this Anuttarāśraya Sūtra above: upon careful inspection of Fei Changfang's and other catalogues, all say that in the second year of Yongding of the Chen dynasty, the dingchou year, the Tripiṭaka master Paramārtha produced the sūtra at Jingtusi in Nankang Commandery. However, the postscript to the sūtra states that on the eighth day of the ninth month in the third year of Shaotai of the Liang dynasty, the cyclical year dingchou, the Tripiṭaka master Paramārtha translated it at the request of the Administrator of Nankang, Liu Wentuo, in Pinggu County. Now, examining the chronologies of various authors, they diverge and conflict. Changfang's chronology extends only to the fifth year of Chengsheng, the bingzi year, where the Liang dynasty ends. The chronicles of Zhen Luan and Wang Daogui extend to the second year of Shaotai, the bingzi year, which was changed to the first year of Taiping; the second year of Taiping, the dingchou year, was changed to Yong[ding]...)

12.3.3

first year of Yongding. Chen Baxian established the state title of Chen. Furthermore, there is a chronicle, though it is unknown who authored it. It states that in the third year of Chengsheng, jiaxu, it was changed to the first year of Dading, and up to the Later Liang a total of eight years elapsed before the era name was changed. However, none of the four chronological tables contains a third year of Shaotai. Since the four texts all differ, it is not clear which is the correct account. It may be that the dingchou year of the third year of Shaotai of Liang is precisely the first year of Yongding at the beginning of the Chen. The chronicles only record the later era title and do not include the earlier designation. For now, we follow the sūtra colophon and record it as a translation of the Liang dynasty.)

There is also a Wencheng shi'er yinyuan jing in one fascicle, which is identical in phrasing to the Beiduoshu xia siwei shi'er yinyuan jing, differing only in title; one text is preserved here).

Translated by Tripiṭaka Master Yijing of the Great Tang at the Inner Bodhimaṇḍa of the Eastern Capital (newly compiled into the catalogue; eighth translation).
The above five sūtras are different translations of the same text (eight translations in all between old and new: five extant, three lost; the first six are abbreviated, while the last two are slightly expanded).
The above eleven sūtras in fourteen fascicles share the same case.
*Tuoluoni ji jing* (Collection of Dhāraṇīs), in twelve fascicles.
Translated by Tripiṭaka Master Atikūṭa of Central India under the Great Tang (taken from the Great Zhou Catalogue; a combined translation of single and duplicate texts).
The above is extracted from a small portion of the Great Vidyā-mantra Piṭaka of the *Vajra-mahābodhimaṇḍa-sūtra*.
It was translated by gathering its essentials. (Within this collection, there are texts such as the *Da bore zhou jing* [Great Prajñā Incantation Sūtra] that circulate independently; because the catalogues did not indicate them fully, many people developed doubts fearing they were not genuine scriptures. To dispel these doubts, they are now itemised and listed below).
Fascicle 1: The Buddha Section, Part One ("Chapter on the Dhāraṇī of Great Spiritual Power and the Śākyamuni Uṣṇīṣa Samādhi Dhāraṇī").
Fascicle 2: The Buddha Section, Part Two (first, the method of depicting the images of all the Buddha-uṣṇīṣas; next, twenty-six mudrās along with dhāraṇīs, being the mudrā and dhāraṇī methods for the various Buddhas; third, the introductory mudrā and dhāraṇī methods of the *Amitābha Mahācintā-sūtra*, along with an explanation of rebirth attained through recitation, and the method of prayer beads; fourth, the Great Golden Wheel Dhāraṇī; fifth, the "Chapter on the Marks of Vajra Function").

Within this, the twelfth mudrā and dhāraṇī is called "Inexhaustible Treasury of Prajñā"; an annotation states: "This single mudrā and dhāraṇī was translated by Dharma Master Vāryasiṃha." At the end of the fascicle there is further the Mahācakra-vajra-dhāraṇī; if one recites this dhāraṇī, one may enter the maṇḍala and use the mudrās without it constituting theft of the Dharma).
Fascicle 4: The Avalokiteśvara Section, Part One (*Ekādaśamukha-avalokiteśvara-dhāraṇī-sūtra*).
Fascicle 5: The Avalokiteśvara Section, Part Two (first, two mudrās and dhāraṇīs: the Thousand-Turn Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva Dhāraṇī; next, six mudrās and dhāraṇīs: miscellaneous Avalokiteśvara mudrās and dhāraṇīs; third, one mudrā and dhāraṇī of Twelve-Armed Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva; fourth, four mudrās and dhāraṇīs of Amoghapāśa Avalokiteśvara; fifth, the method of painting Avalokiteśvara images; sixth, the chapter on the samādhi methods, mudrās, and dhāraṇīs of Avalokiteśvara-Bhṛkuṭī Bodhisattva).

Fascicle 8: The Vajra Section, Part Two (first, the chapter on the mudrās and dhāraṇīs of the sovereign spiritual power of Vajra Amṛtakuṇḍalī Bodhisattva; second, the mudrā and dhāraṇī methods of Vajrāṭṭahāsa, called in Tang Chinese "Great Laughter Vajra").
Fascicle 9: The Vajra Section, Part Three (first, the chapter on the method, mudrās, and dhāraṇīs of Vajra Ucchuṣma, called in Tang Chinese "Impure Vajra," which is the Fire-Head Vajra; second, the dhāraṇī methods of the Great Blue-Faced Vajra).

Fascicle 12 (the chapter on the mudrās and dhāraṇīs of the great dhāraṇī general assembly bodhimaṇḍa of all Buddhas, being the ritual method of the universal assembly altar for abhiseka).

*Shiyimian shenzhou xin jing* (Ekādaśamukham Hṛdaya Dhāraṇī Sūtra), in one fascicle.
Translated by Tripiṭaka Master Xuanzang of the Great Tang (taken from the *Neidian lu*; second translation).

*Molizhitian jing* (Mārīcī Sūtra), in one fascicle (sometimes with "Small" added to the title).
Anonymous translation (now appended to the Liang catalogue; supplemented and entered [into the canon]).
The above single sūtra is an alternative translation of a small portion of the *Mārīcī Sūtra* at the beginning of fascicle 10 of the *Ji jing*.
*Zhou wu shou jing* (Sūtra of the Five Incantations), in one fascicle.
Translated by Tripiṭaka Master Xuanzang of the Great Tang (taken from the *Fanjing tu*; a combined translation of single and duplicate texts).
The "Five Incantations" are: 1. the Thousand-Turn Dhāraṇī that can destroy all transgressions; 2. the Six-Syllable Dhāraṇī; 3. the dhāraṇī spoken by seven koṭīs of Buddhas; 4. the dhāraṇī that conforms to the intent of all Tathāgatas; 5. Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva's Heart-Following Dhāraṇī. (The Thousand-Turn Dhāraṇī has also been separately copied to make an independent sūtra; since it is already included here, it is not listed separately. The Great Zhou Catalogue's division into five separate sūtras is mistaken).
*Qianzhuo tuoluoni guanshiyin pusa zhou jing* (Sūtra of the Thousand-Turn Dhāraṇī of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva), in one fascicle.
Translated by the śramaṇa Shi Zhitong of Zongchi Temple under the Great Tang (supplemented and entered [into the canon]; second translation).
The above two Thousand-Turn Dhāraṇīs are different translations of the same text as the Thousand-Turn Avalokiteśvara Dhāraṇī at the beginning of fascicle 5 of the above *Ji jing*, and the Thousand-Turn Dhāraṇī among the miscellaneous dhāraṇīs.
*Liuzi shenzhou jing* (Sūtra of the Six-Syllable Spiritual Dhāraṇī), in one fascicle (or titled *Liuzi zhou fa*).

Translated by Tripiṭaka Master Vajrabodhi of South India under the Great Tang (newly compiled into the catalogue; second translation).

12.3.6

The above two sūtras are different translations of the same text. (Compared to the older sūtra, the newer one is slightly more extensive; however, judged by the Sanskrit text, the translation remains incomplete. In the *Five Spells* and the *Miscellaneous Spells*, only the spells themselves were translated, without any further ritual procedures.)

The above nine sūtras in twenty fascicles make up two cases (seven fascicles in the upper case, thirteen in the lower case).

*Guanzizai pusa suixin zhou jing* (Sūtra of the Incantation According with the Wish of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva), one fascicle (also called *Duoli xin jing* [Tārā Heart Sūtra]).
Translated by the śramaṇa Shi Zhitong of Zongchi Temple under the Great Tang (newly incorporated into the catalogue).
The above Incantation According with the Wish of Avalokiteśvara: the earlier *Five Spells Sūtra*, the first spell according with the wish of Avalokiteśvara in the *Miscellaneous Spells Sūtra*, and fascicle 5 of the *Collection of Dhāraṇīs* were all translated previously, and it is therefore compiled here.

Translated by the Tianzhu Tripiṭaka master Jñānagupta under the Yuwen clan of the Zhou (a supplement incorporated as a combined work of sole and retranslated texts).
Twenty-three miscellaneous spells in total (six spells within the *Lotus Sūtra*; one dhāraṇī for circumambulating a stūpa to eradicate sins; one spell for bowing to eradicate sins and having all buddhas welcome one at the end of life; one spell for offering to the Three Jewels; one Avalokiteśvara repentance spell; one Vajra spell; one snake spell; one spell for entering dhyāna in tranquility; one spell for carbuncles and swelling; one Vajra spell for curing diseases caused by evil demons; one thousand-turn dhāraṇī; one Avalokiteśvara spell according with the wish; four divine spells of the seven koṭis of buddhas; one divine spell according with the intention of all Tathāgatas; one six-syllable dhāraṇī spell identical to the text in the *Five Spells*; and one spell for taking refuge in the Three Jewels).

The above five sūtras are different translations of the same text.

Translated by the śramaṇa Shi Zhiyan of Zhixiang Temple under the Great Tang (newly incorporated into the catalogue as the eleventh translation).
The above eight sūtras are different translations of the same text. (In the catalogues of Fei Changfang and others, under the count for Juexian [Buddhabhadra], there was also the *Xin weimi chi jing* in one fascicle, which is none other than this *Chusheng wuliangmen chi jing*; and under the count for Gongdexian [Guṇabhadra], there was also the *Chu wuliangmen chi jing* in one fascicle, which is none other than this *Anandamuqie nihelihe jing*. Since these are duplicate listings, they are not preserved separately. Of the eleven translations old and new, three translations are lost texts.)
