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]...)
