17.12
*Pusa dichi jing*, ten fascicles (or eight fascicles; also titled *Pusa jie jing*, and also titled *Pusa di jing*).
The one sūtra above is also titled *Pusa dichi lun*. In this catalogue it is now compiled as vinaya, preserving its sūtra title and deleting its entry under śāstras. The Zhou catalogue states that the *Pusa dichi jing* is a lost text, which is an error. Furthermore, because this single sūtra has many titles, the Zhou catalogue is contradictory from beginning to end, entering it repeatedly in six places altogether, which is a gross error (entered once among Mahāyāna sūtras, entered twice among Mahāyāna vinaya, entered once among Mahāyāna śāstras, and entered twice in the catalogue of lost texts).
Other sūtras that were repeatedly listed are more than one; fearing to waste paper and ink, I give only a brief account.
*Wuwei de nü jing*, one fascicle (now compiled into the *Ratnakūṭa*).
*Diyi yi fasheng jing*, one fascicle.
*Mile pusa suowen benyuan jing*, one fascicle.
Regarding the three sūtras above, that the *Da Zhou ruzang lu* listed them in both places—under single translations and under retranslations—was an error. I have now deleted them from the single translations and compiled them among the retranslations.
*Fa putixin jing*, two fascicles (also titled *Fa putixin lun*).
Regarding the one sūtra above, that the Zhou canon catalogue listed it in both places—among Mahāyāna sūtras and among Mahāyāna śāstras—was an error. Now, because it was composed by a bodhisattva, I have deleted its title as a sūtra and preserved it in the catalogue of śāstras.
*Jian wang jing*, one fascicle (also titled *Daxiao jian wang jing*).
Regarding the one sūtra above, that the Zhou canon catalogue and catalogue of lost texts both listed it was an error.
*Faju jing*, two fascicles (also called *Faju ji*).
Regarding the one sūtra above, that the Zhou canon catalogue listed it in two places—under Mahāyāna retranslations and within the compilations and biographies—was an error. Examining their texts, they are entirely identical and cannot be split into two. Although it was once retranslated, one translation is lost and missing. It is now deleted from the sūtras and compiled within the compilations.
*She dacheng shi lun*, twelve fascicles.
Regarding the one śāstra above, the catalogues of the Kaihuang and Renshou eras of the Sui, as well as the Tang *Neidian lu* and *Da Zhou lu*, all preserve two versions, stating that it is a different translation of the same original as the fifteen-fascicle *She lun*, and that both were translated by Paramārtha, Tripiṭaka master of the Chen dynasty, which is an error. Now collating the phrasing, beginning and end are completely identical. Although the fascicles differ in quantity, they cannot be split into two works. Only the fifteen-fascicle text is preserved, and the twelve-fascicle creation is deleted.
