Abhidharma-aṣṭagrantha-śāstra, thirty fascicles (composed by Kātyāyanīputra; also in twenty fascicles, three cases).
Translated under the Fu Qin by the Jibin Tripiṭaka master Saṅghadeva together with Zhu Fonian (first translation).
Abhidharma-jñānaprasthāna-śāstra, twenty fascicles (composed by Kātyāyanīputra), two cases.
Translated under the Great Tang by the Tripiṭaka master Xuanzang (listed in Neidian lu, second translation).
The above two treatises are different translations of the same text. They are indeed the root of the Sarvāstivāda Abhidharmapiṭaka. It was composed within the three hundred years after the Buddha's parinirvāṇa by the treatise master Kātyāyanīputra. In later transmissions, copies were either extensive or abridged. The text and meaning of this Jñānaprasthāna are complete, and those who transmitted and studied it called it the "body treatise" (śarīra-śāstra). Because the other six treatises each explain one branch and differ from the body, they were named the "feet" (pāda). They are arranged next in order, followed by the treatises of other schools.
1. Abhidharma-dharmaskandha-pāda-śāstra, twelve fascicles (composed by the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana; one case).
Translated under the Great Tang by the Tripiṭaka master Xuanzang (listed in Neidian lu, sole translation).
2. Abhidharma-saṅgītiparyāya-pāda-śāstra, twenty fascicles (spoken by the Venerable Śāriputra; two cases).
Translated under the Great Tang by the Tripiṭaka master Xuanzang (listed in Neidian lu, sole translation).
3. Prajñaptipāda-śāstra, having 18,000 verses.
Composed by the Venerable Mahākātyāyana (Kātyā means "tonsure/shaving", āna means "lineage/seed", which is a masculine clan name among the Brahmins).
This treatise has not yet been translated. (The above three Pada treatises were all composed while the Buddha was in the world.)
4. Abhidharma-vijñānakāya-pāda-śāstra, sixteen fascicles.
Translated under the Great Tang by the Tripiṭaka master Xuanzang (listed in Neidian lu, sole translation).
The above treatise was composed within the hundred years after the Buddha's parinirvāṇa by the Venerable Arhat Devaśarma (in Tang, "Tianji").
5. Abhidharma-prakaraṇapāda-śāstra, eighteen fascicles.
Translated under the Great Tang by the Tripiṭaka master Xuanzang (listed in Neidian lu, second translation).
The above treatise was composed within the three hundred years after the Buddha's parinirvāṇa by the Venerable Vasumitra (in Tang, "Shiyou").
Zhongshi fen apitan lun [Prakaraṇapāda], twelve fascicles.
Translated under the Song by the Tianzhu Tripiṭaka master Guṇabhadra together with Bodhiyaśas (first translation).
The above two treatises are different translations of the same text.
The above two treatises comprise thirty fascicles in three cases.
6. Abhidharma-dhātukāya-pāda-śāstra, three fascicles.
Translated under the Great Tang by the Tripiṭaka master Xuanzang (listed in Fanjing tu, sole translation).
The above treatise was composed within the three hundred years after the Buddha's parinirvāṇa by the Venerable Vasumitra.
Together with the above Vijñānakāya-pāda-śāstra, it comprises nineteen fascicles in two cases.
Abhidharma-vibhāṣā-śāstra, sixty fascicles, six cases (also in eighty-four fascicles or one hundred and nine fascicles).
Translated under the Northern Liang by the Tianzhu śramaṇa Buddhavarman together with Daotai and others (first translation).
When first translated, this treatise formed a work of one hundred fascicles, with a preface composed by the śramaṇa Daoting. When the Wei annexed the Liang, forty fascicles were lost, and now only sixty fascicles survive. It only completes the third grantha; manuscripts for the remaining five granthas have been lacking since then. The newly translated version is complete with all eight granthas. As for the editions of eighty-four fascicles and one hundred and nine fascicles, later hands divided these sixty fascicles into them; they were not originally complete without loss. Furthermore, according to the Fayuan by the Liang monk Sengyou, in the second month of the eleventh year of Tianjian, an imperial edict commanded Saṅghapāla to translate the remaining five granthas of the Vibhāṣā again; though this is stated, that manuscript has never yet been seen.
Abhidharma-mahāvibhāṣā-śāstra, two hundred fascicles, twenty cases.
Translated under the Great Tang by the Tripiṭaka master Xuanzang (listed in Neidian lu, second translation).
The above two treatises are different translations of the same text. That is, they explain the above Jñānaprasthāna-śāstra. They were composed within the four hundred years after the Buddha's parinirvāṇa by five hundred Great Arhats and others in the country of Kaśmīra.
Abhidharmakośa-bhāṣya, twenty-two fascicles (composed by Vasubandhu).
Translated under the Chen by the Tianzhu Tripiṭaka master Paramārtha (first translation).
Abhidharmakośa-kārikā, one fascicle (composed by the Venerable Vasubandhu; also in two fascicles).
Translated under the Great Tang by the Tripiṭaka master Xuanzang (listed in Neidian lu, second translation; Paramārtha's translation is a lost text).
The above two treatises comprise twenty-three fascicles in three cases.
Abhidharmakośa-śāstra, thirty fascicles (composed by the Venerable Vasubandhu; three cases).
Translated under the Great Tang by the Tripiṭaka master Xuanzang (listed in Neidian lu, second translation).
The above two treatises and the verses are different translations of the same text.
Abhidharma-nyāyānusāra-śāstra, eighty fascicles (composed by the Venerable Saṅghabhadra; eight cases).
Translated under the Great Tang by the Tripiṭaka master Xuanzang (listed in Neidian lu, sole translation).
Abhidharma-samayapradīpikā-śāstra, forty fascicles (composed by the Venerable Saṅghabhadra; four cases).
Translated under the Great Tang by the Tripiṭaka master Xuanzang (listed in Neidian lu, sole translation).
The above two treatises share the verses of the Kośa but differ in commentary, both being composed by Saṅghabhadra (the Venerable Saṅghabhadra first composed the Nyāyānusāra, which was extensive and difficult to investigate, and later composed the Samayapradīpikā, which is concise and easy to understand; therefore he commented on it again).
Abhidharma-hṛdaya-śāstra, four fascicles (composed by the Venerable Dharmaśreṣṭhin; also without the character "śāstra").
Translated under the Eastern Jin by the Jibin Tripiṭaka master Gautama Saṅghadeva (sole translation).
Dharmaśreṣṭhy-abhidharma-hṛdaya-śāstra-sūtra, six fascicles (composed by the Bhadanta Upaśānta; also in seven fascicles).
Translated under the Northern Qi by the Tianzhu Tripiṭaka master Narendrayaśas together with Fazhi (sole translation).
The above two treatises comprise ten fascicles in the same case.
Saṃyuktābhidharma-hṛdaya-śāstra, eleven fascicles (also called Saṃyuktābhidharma-vibhāṣā; composed by the Venerable Dharmatrāta; also in fourteen fascicles).
Translated under the Song by the Tianzhu Tripiṭaka master Saṅghavarman and others (fourth translation; three of the four translations are lost).
The above three treatises are all titled Abhidharma-hṛdaya, yet their commentaries differ in being extensive or concise. (An initial note in the first fascicle of the Saṃyuktābhidharma-hṛdaya-śāstra states: "Various masters' commentaries on Dharmaśreṣṭhin's Abhidharma-hṛdaya differ in length and brevity. Dharmaśreṣṭhin's own explanation is the most concise. Upaśānta produced a commentary of 8,000 verses. Another master produced a commentary of 12,000 verses; these two treatises are called the extensive ones. Vasubandhu produced a commentary of 6,000 verses. Furthermore, an opening verse of the treatise states: 'Respectfully paying homage to the venerable Dharmaśreṣṭhin, I receive upon my crown what he spoke. I, Dharmatrāta, shall expound what he did not say.' Therefore, among the above three treatises, the first four fascicles are Dharmaśreṣṭhin's root treatise, and the next six fascicles are Upaśānta's commentary. Thus the end of that treatise says: 'The Bhadanta Upaśānta, for the benefit of his disciples, composed this Abhidharma-hṛdaya-śāstra.' Hence we know this is a commentary on Dharmaśreṣṭhin's treatise and was not composed by Dharmaśreṣṭhin; the outer title's having the characters 'Dharmaśreṣṭhin' is perhaps questionable. Inside the fascicles, the title lacks these two characters. All the catalogues call it Dharmaśreṣṭhin's Abhidharma, or a different translation of Dharmaśreṣṭhin's Abhidharma. The latter Saṃyukta-hṛdaya-śāstra was composed by Dharmatrāta, whose text and meaning are somewhat more extensive than the former two treatises.")
Abhidharmāmṛtarasa-śāstra, two fascicles (also called Amṛtarasābhidharma; composed by the Venerable Ghoṣaka).
Translated under the Cao Wei dynasty; the name of the Tripiṭaka master is lost (sole translation).
Lakṣaṇānusāra-śāstra, one fascicle (also called Guṇamati's Lakṣaṇānusāra-śāstra; composed by Dharma Master Dehui [Guṇamati]; also in two fascicles).
Translated under the Chen by the Tianzhu Tripiṭaka master Paramārtha (sole translation).
The above three treatises comprise fourteen fascicles in two cases.
Treatise Compiled by the Bodhisattva Venerable Vasumitra, ten fascicles (composed by the Venerable Vasumitra; also in fourteen fascicles or twelve fascicles).
Translated under the Fu Qin by the Jibin Tripiṭaka master Saṅghabhūti and others (sole translation).
Tridharmaka-śāstra, two fascicles (also without the character "śāstra", or called sūtra; also in three fascicles or one fascicle).
Translated under the Eastern Jin by the Jibin Tripiṭaka master Gautama Saṅghadeva (second translation; one of the two translations is lost).
(This Tridharmaka-śāstra has both a root text and a commentary: the root has three chapters and nine true passages, and the commentary also has nine chapters. Dharma Master Huiyuan of Mount Lu says in his preface that the root text was composed by the Venerable Śāntibhadra, and the commentary was compiled by the Tianzhu Mahāyāna upāsaka Saṅghasena. The postscript to the text says it was compiled by the Mahāyāna monk, the Śākya Saṅghasena. The two accounts differ slightly, and it is not clear which is correct.)
Abhidharmāvatāra-śāstra, two fascicles (composed by the Arhat Skandhila).
Translated under the Great Tang by the Tripiṭaka master Xuanzang (listed in Neidian lu, sole translation).
The above three treatises comprise fourteen fascicles in two cases.
Tattvasiddhi-śāstra, twenty fascicles (composed by Harivarman; altogether 202 chapters; also in twenty-four fascicles, two cases).
Translated under the Yao Qin by the Tripiṭaka master Kumārajīva (sole translation).
Lokasthiti-abhidharma-śāstra, ten fascicles (also without the character "śāstra"; one case; also in fifteen fascicles).
Translated under the Chen by the Tianzhu Tripiṭaka master Paramārtha (sole translation).
Vimuttimagga, twelve fascicles (also in thirteen fascicles); one case.
Translated under the Liang by the Funan Tripiṭaka master Saṅghapāla (sole translation).
Śāriputrābhidharma-śāstra, twenty-two fascicles (also in twenty fascicles or thirty fascicles).
Translated under the Yao Qin by the Jibin Tripiṭaka master Dharmayaśas together with Dharmagupta (sole translation).
Pañcavastuka-vibhāṣā-śāstra, two fascicles (also called Abhidharma-pañcavastuka-śāstra; composed by the Venerable Dharmatrāta).
Translated under the Great Tang by the Tripiṭaka master Xuanzang (listed in Fanjing tu, sole translation).
The above two treatises comprise twenty-four fascicles in three cases. (The Zhou Dynasty Catalogue's separate entry for the Abhidharma-pañcavastuka-śāstra is an error.)
Vibhāṣā-śāstra, fourteen fascicles (also called Vibhāṣā-abhidharma-śāstra; compiled by the Arhat Śītavani).
Translated under the Fu Qin by the Jibin Tripiṭaka master Saṅghabhūti (sole translation).
Saṃmatīya-śāstra, three fascicles (also without the character "bu"; also in four fascicles).
Anonymous translation (Saṃmatīya is translated here as Zhengliang; it is a treatise of the Saṃmatīya school; now appended to the Qin catalogue, sole translation).
The above two treatises comprise seventeen fascicles in two cases.
Fenbie gongde lun, four fascicles (also called Fenbie gongde jing; also in three fascicles or five fascicles).
Anonymous translation (in the Later Han catalogue, sole translation).
(This treatise comments on the meaning of the Ekottarika-āgama, starting from the opening introductory chapter to just over halfway through the disciples chapter, ending with the explanation of the King Bhikṣu. Fashang's catalogue states it was translated by Dharmarakṣa, which is not so. Here, the quotations and explanations of phrases are entirely identical to the root sūtra, seeming to be by the same translator as the Ekottarika-āgama; yet other catalogues all state its origin is lost, and we provisionally follow this conclusion. Sengyou's catalogue states it was compiled by Kāśyapa and Ānanda, which is also not so, as the first fascicle of the treatise cites foreign masters and Sarvāstivāda doctrines, showing it was not compiled by those two venerable ones.)
Catussatya-śāstra, four fascicles (composed by Vasuvarman). Translated under the Chen by the Tianzhu Tripiṭaka master Paramārtha (sole translation).
Pratyekabuddha-nidāna-śāstra, two fascicles. Anonymous translation (now appended to the Qin catalogue, sole translation).
Treatise on the Eighteen Schools, one fascicle; newly designated as an anonymous translation (appended to the Qin catalogue, first translation).
(Regarding the Treatise on the Eighteen Schools, examining the various catalogues, they all state it was translated by the Liang dynasty Tripiṭaka master Paramārtha. Now, considering that Tripiṭaka Master Paramārtha had already translated the Samayabhedoparacanacakra [Buyizhi lun], it would not be fitting for him to translate the Treatise on the Eighteen Schools again. Furthermore, the beginning of the Treatise on the Eighteen Schools quotes the "Chapter on Distinguishing the Schools" from the Mañjuśrīparipṛcchā-sūtra, after which it states: "Compiled by Dharma Master Kumārajīva", followed by the treatise text itself. If it were translated by Kumārajīva, the Mañjuśrīparipṛcchā-sūtra had not yet existed in the Qin period and should not have been quoted at the beginning. Alternatively, according to the Classified Catalogue, the Mañjuśrīparipṛcchā-sūtra was classified as an anonymous translation, so citing it as evidence during the Qin is beyond doubt. If it were retranslated by Paramārtha, the treatise's inner commentary should not contain the words "in Qin speech". Scrutinising its style and sense, it was most likely translated by Kumārajīva during the Qin; omissions in the various catalogues led to this doubt. Paramārtha's Commentary on the Eighteen Schools is indeed the commentary on the Samayabhedoparacanacakra. Although there is this reasoning, I do not dare make a definitive judgment, and leave it to future erudite scholars to seek the true record.)
Buyizhi lun [Samayabhedoparacanacakra], one fascicle (also named Bu yizhi lun).
Translated under the Chen by the Tianzhu Tripiṭaka master Paramārtha (second translation).
Samayabhedoparacanacakra, one fascicle (composed by Bodhisattva Vasumitra).
Translated under the Great Tang by the Tripiṭaka master Xuanzang (listed in Fanjing tu, third translation).
The above three treatises are different translations of the same text.
The above six treatises comprise thirteen fascicles in the same case.
