14.7.3

…different translation of the Nan chapter. This sūtra is now lost (in the old sūtra it is in the sixth fascicle, in the new sūtra in the thirteenth).
*Bodhisattva-benye jing* in one fascicle (this is the "Jingxing pin" ["Purification of Practice" Chapter] of the *Avataṃsaka*; also called simply *Benye jing*), translated by Tripiṭaka Master Buddhabhadra of India under the Eastern Jin (third translation).
The above, together with the root chapter, has five translations in all: four texts are in the canon and one is lost. (Since the old *Avataṃsaka-sūtra* was translated by Buddhabhadra [Juexian], it is not appropriate to list this *Benye jing* separately. Because the Great Zhou Catalogue entered it into the canon, yet the text has not been seen, it is temporarily recorded here. Furthermore, Fei Changfang's catalogue records Zhi Qian as having made a second translation of the *Jingxing pin jing*, which is an error; the note to that *Jingxing jing* states: "Also named *Pusa benye jing*.")
*Pusa shifazhu jing* in two fascicles (this is the "Shizhu pin" ["Ten Abodes" Chapter]), translated by the Upāsaka Nie Daozhen under the Western Jin (third translation).
The above, together with the root chapter, has five translations in all: four texts are in the canon and one is lost. (In the catalogues of Fei Changfang and others, there is also a *Pusa shizhu jing* in one fascicle, which is said to have been translated by Buddhabhadra under the Eastern Jin. Examining this: since Buddhabhadra already translated the large text, it is not appropriate to list this sūtra separately; Changfang's catalogue is mistaken.)
*Shizhu jing* in twelve fascicles (this is the "Shidi pin" ["Ten Stages" Chapter]), translated by the Upāsaka Nie Daozhen under the Western Jin (second translation).
The above, together with the root chapter, has five translations in all: four texts are in the canon and one is lost.
*Luomojia jing* in three fascicles (this is a small portion of the "Ru fajie pin" ["Entering the Dharma Realm" Chapter]), translated by Tripiṭaka Master An Faxian of the Western Regions under the Cao Wei (first translation).
*Luomojia jing* in one fascicle (this is a small portion of the "Ru fajie pin" ["Entering the Dharma Realm" Chapter]), translated by Tripiṭaka Master Dharmakṣema of India under the Northern Liang (fourth translation).
The above, together with the root chapter, has five translations in all: three texts are in the canon and two are lost.
From the *Ru rulai zhi busiyiyi jing* downwards: twelve works in twenty-seven fascicles; lost texts in the Avataṃsaka section.
*Fan ban nihuan jing* in two fascicles (the old catalogues say *Hu ban*; this has now been changed to the character *Fan*; or in one fascicle), translated by Tripiṭaka Master Lokakṣema of the Yuezhi under the Later Han (first translation).
*Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra* in two fascicles: Tripiṭaka Master An Faxian of foreign lands under the Cao Wei abridged the earlier chapters into two fascicles (second translation).
*Da ban nihuan jing* in two fascicles: Upāsaka Zhi Qian of Wu translated the "Introductory Chapter" and the "Lamentation Chapter" into two fascicles (third translation).
*Ban nihuan jing* in twenty fascicles, translated by Śramaṇa Zhimeng of Yongzhou in Liangzhou under the Northern Liang (sixth translation).
The above, together with the large text of the *Nirvāṇa* and the newly translated Latter Portion, has seven translations in all: three texts are in the canon and four are lost. (Furthermore, the Great Zhou Catalogue cites Zhu Daozu's catalogue, stating: "In the thirteenth year of the Yixi reign of the Eastern Jin [417 CE], Buddhabhadra translated the *Da ban nihuan jing* in one fascicle—or said to be ten fascicles—at Daochang Temple; this is the first ten fascicles of the large text, down through the 'Chapter on the Questions of the Great Assembly.'" Now, investigating the various catalogues, biographies, and accounts: Faxian's translation of the *Da ban nihuan* was also translated in the thirteenth year of Yixi at Daochang Temple. The various scriptures translated by Faxian were all co-translated with Buddhabhadra [Juexian]; the headings and notes of the various catalogues largely overlap. Since the time and place are the same, it was certainly not an independent re-translation. They are now combined into one and not preserved separately.)
From the *Fan ban nihuan jing* downwards: four works in twenty-six fascicles; lost texts in the Nirvāṇa section.
*Shu puyao jing* in eight fascicles: anonymous translation (it appears to have been produced in the region of Shu; in the Wei and Wu catalogues; first translation).
*Puyao jing* in eight fascicles (or in six fascicles, or five fascicles), translated by the Śramaṇas Zhiyan and Baoyun under the Song (third translation).
The above two sūtras are different translations of the same text as the *Lalitavistara* (*Fangguang zhuangyan jing*). There were four translations in all: two survive and two are lost.
*Wuliangyi jing* in one fascicle, translated by Tripiṭaka Master Guṇabhadra of India under the Song (first translation).
The above one sūtra has two translations in all: one survives and one is lost.
*Fahua sanmei jing* in six fascicles (one edition adds the character *Zheng*), translated by Tripiṭaka Master Zhi Jiangliangjie of foreign lands under the Wu (drawn from the *Fanyi tu*; first translation).
*Sayunfentuoli jing* in six fascicles, translated by Tripiṭaka Master Dharmarakṣa under the Western Jin in the Taishi reign (second translation. Respectfully examining the catalogues of Fei Changfang and others: the *Zheng fahua* was translated by Dharmarakṣa in the seventh year of Taikang. Looking at Nie Daozhen's catalogue, it further states that the *Sayunfentuoli jing* in six fascicles was translated in the first year of Taishi, drawn from Zhu Daozu's catalogue. These are the same scripture and should not be recorded twice. Given that the titles differ and that one text is extant while the other is lost, the reason is not yet clear. Perhaps *Sayunfentuoli* is Sanskrit, and *Zheng fahua* is the Jin translation: both the Sanskrit and Jin names being preserved, the cataloguers erred).
*Fangdeng fahua jing* in five fascicles, translated by Śramaṇa Zhi Daogen under the Eastern Jin (fourth translation).
The above three sūtras are different translations of the same text; together with the *Tianpin*, there were six translations in all: three survive and three are lost.
*Fo yi sanche huan jing* in one fascicle, translated by Upāsaka Zhi Qian of the Yuezhi under the Wu.
The above one scripture is an extracted translation from the *Lotus Sūtra*; it must be the "Parable Chapter."
*Gu Weimojie jing* in two fascicles, translated by Śramaṇa Yan Fotiao of Linhuai under the Later Han (first translation).
*Yi Weimolajie jing* in three fascicles (Sengyou gives *Yi Weimojie*; or with the character *Si*; or in two fascicles), translated by Upāsaka Zhu Shulan of the Western Regions under the Western Jin (third translation).
*Weimojieshuo famen jing* in one fascicle (or called *Weimojie jing*), translated by Tripiṭaka Master Dharmarakṣa under the Western Jin (fourth translation. Respectfully examining Sengyou's catalogue, there is also a *Shan Weimojie jing* in one fascicle, also said to have been translated by Dharmarakṣa; the note below states that Sengyou believed the earlier translation of the *Vimalakīrti* was cumbersome, and Dharmarakṣa abridged it and brought out the omitted verses. My present view does not differ from the former, so it is not separately preserved. Furthermore, in the Zhou Catalogue there is also a *Weimolajie jing* in two fascicles, also said to have been translated by Zhi Qian of the Wu during the Huangwu reign, drawn from Fei Changfang's catalogue; checking Changfang's catalogue, there is no such scripture title; the Zhou Catalogue is mistaken).
*Vimalakīrti-sūtra* in four fascicles, translated by Tripiṭaka Master Jiduomi of the Western Regions under the Eastern Jin (fifth translation).
The above four scriptures are different translations of the same text. There were seven translations in all: three survive and four are lost. (As for Śramaṇa Zhi Mindu of the Western Jin combining the three editions of one Zhi and two Zhus into five fascicles: because it was not a separate translation, and the text is also lost, it is not preserved here).
*Dafangdeng dingwang jing* in one fascicle, translated by Tripiṭaka Master Kumārajīva under the Later Qin (second translation).
The above one scripture has four translations in all: three survive and one is lost.
*Xianju jing* in ten fascicles, translated by Tripiṭaka Master Dharmarakṣa under the Western Jin (first translation).
*Karuṇāpuṇḍarīka-sūtra* (*Beihua jing*) in ten fascicles, translated by Śramaṇa Shi Daogong under the Northern Liang (third translation).
The above two scriptures are different translations of the same text. There were four translations in all: two survive and two are lost.
*Fo sheng daolitian wei mu shuofa jing* in one fascicle, translated by Tripiṭaka Master Dharmamitra of Jibin under the Song (third translation).
The above one scripture has three translations in all: two survive and one is lost.
*Mahāyāna-ratnamegha-sūtra* (*Dacheng baoyun jing*) in eight fascicles, translated by Śramaṇa Subhūti of Funan under the Chen (second translation).
