Sūtra of the Questions of Ākāśagarbha, eight fascicles (also called Fangdeng wang xukongzang jing, or simply Xukongzang jing; also in five fascicles).
The one sūtra above is an extracted circulation of the Bodhisattva Ākāśagarbha Chapter from the Mahāsaṃnipāta-sūtra. The Great Zhou Catalogue states that it was translated by the śramaṇa Shengjian during the Qifu Qin, which is erroneous. That translation by Shengjian is a lost text.
Sūtra on Bodhisattva Ākāśagarbha Asking How Much Merit Is Gained by Upholding the Sūtra, one fascicle.
The one sūtra above is also an extracted text from the Ākāśagarbha chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta. The various catalogues all state that it was translated by Tripiṭaka Master Kumārajīva of the Yao Qin, which is erroneous.
Sūtra on the Dānapāramitā Practiced by King Sarvadada, one fascicle.
The one sūtra above comes from the section on the Limitless Perfection of Giving in the Ṣaṭpāramitā-saṃgraha-sūtra. The various catalogues all state that it was translated by Tripiṭaka Master Kumārajīva of the Yao Qin, which is erroneous.
Sūtra on the Inscrutable Secret Treasury of the Tathāgata's Nature-Origination of the Great and Vast, two fascicles.
The one sūtra above is an extracted circulation of the Jewel King Tathāgata's Nature-Origination Chapter of the older Avataṃsaka-sūtra. At the beginning, a preface authenticating faith was added, and the initial nidāna of the second assembly was taken and placed at the head. Catalogues such as that of [Fei] Zhangfang all state that it was an anonymous translation of the Western Jin, which is erroneous.
Sūtra on Rebirth According to One's Vow, one fascicle (also titled Abhiṣeka Sūtra on Rebirth According to One's Vow in the Pure Lands of the Ten Directions; also called Puguang pusa jing).
The one sūtra above is the eleventh fascicle, the Samantaprabhā Chapter, of the Great Abhiṣeka Sūtra; in some editions it is in the twelfth fascicle. Catalogues such as that of Zhangfang all state that it was translated by the upāsaka Zhi Qian of the Wu dynasty, or that it was translated by Tripiṭaka Master Dharmarakṣa of the Western Jin; both are erroneous.
Bhaiṣajyaguru-vaiḍūryaprabhā Sūtra, one fascicle (also titled Abhiṣeka Sūtra on Eliminating Transgressions and Deliverance from Birth and Death).
The one sūtra above is the twelfth fascicle of the Great Abhiṣeka Sūtra; in some editions it is in the eleventh fascicle. Catalogues such as that of Zhangfang all state that it was translated by the śramaṇa Huijian of Luye Temple during the Song dynasty, which is erroneous.
Sūtra of the Second Assembly of the Mahāprajñāpāramitā, seventy-eight fascicles (popularly titled Newly Translated Larger Prajñā / Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā-prajñāpāramitā-sūtra).
Sūtra of the Fourth Assembly of the Mahāprajñāpāramitā, eighteen fascicles (popularly titled Newly Translated Aṣṭasāhasrikā / Smaller Prajñā).
The two sūtras above are popularly reported to have been translated by Tripiṭaka Master Yijing, who changed their titles separately to copy and circulate them. On consulting Yijing's scriptural catalogue, he never separately translated these sūtras, and upon collation the text is identical to the Mahāprajñāpāramitā. Fearing people might not know the details, this is stated here.
Suvikrāntavikrāmiparipṛcchā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra, eight fascicles (also called Newly Translated Suvikrāntavikrāmiparipṛcchā Prajñā).
The one sūtra above is the sixth assembly of the Mahāprajñāpāramitā, being a different translation of the same text as the older Suvikrāntavikrāmiparipṛcchā Prajñā.
Mañjuśrī Prajñā Sūtra, two fascicles (also called Newly Translated Mañjuśrī Prajñā).
The one sūtra above is the Mañjuśrī Section, the seventh assembly of the Mahāprajñāpāramitā, being a different translation of the same text as the older Mañjuśrī Prajñā.
Adhyardhaśatikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra, one fascicle.
The one sūtra above is the Prajñā-naya Section, the tenth assembly of the Mahāprajñāpāramitā.
Guhyakādhipati-vajrapāṇi Sūtra, two fascicles.
The one sūtra above is claimed by the Neidian lu to be an anonymous translation, which is incorrect. Examining its original text now, it comes from the five-fascicle Guhyakādhipati Sūtra, beginning from the five-syllable verse on the fourth sheet at the beginning of the fourth fascicle, down after the fifth character of the fifth line, continuing to the end of the fifth fascicle, with completely identical phrasing.
Ekottarāgama Sūtra, one fascicle (three sheets).
The one sūtra above comes from the twenty-first fascicle of the Ekottarāgama. It extracts two discourses: first explaining the four brahma-merits, then explaining the four nutriments, and finally explaining the four pratisaṃvids. Zhangfang's catalogue states that it was translated by the śramaṇa Faju of the Western Jin, which is erroneous.
Sūtra on the Immediate Retribution of Practicing the Seven Deeds, one fascicle (one sheet).
The one sūtra above comes from the thirty-fourth fascicle of the Ekottarāgama.
Dvādaśāṅgapratītyasamutpāda Sūtra, one fascicle (three sheets).
The one sūtra above comes from the forty-sixth fascicle of the Ekottarāgama. The Zhou Catalogue catalogued it within the Mahāyāna canon and stated that it was a different translation of the same text as the Sūtra on Contemplating the Twelve Nidānas under the Patra Tree, which is erroneous.
Sūtra on Dharmas Associated with Śīla, one fascicle.
The one sūtra above comes from the thirtieth fascicle of the Saṃyuktāgama. Zhangfang's catalogue states that it was translated by the śramaṇa Zhu Tanwulan of the Western Regions during the Eastern Jin, which is erroneous.
Sūtra on the Bhikṣus Asking the Buddha About the Deaths of Many Upāsakas, one fascicle.
The one sūtra above also comes from the thirtieth fascicle of the Saṃyuktāgama. Zhangfang's catalogue states that it was translated by the śramaṇa Faju of the Western Jin, which is erroneous.
Sūtra on the Exclusively Wealthy Elder, one fascicle.
The one sūtra above comes from the forty-sixth fascicle of the Saṃyuktāgama. Zhangfang's catalogue states that it was translated by Tripiṭaka Master An Shigao of the Later Han, which is erroneous.
Sūtra on Sentient Beings Doing Evil in the Three Times, one fascicle.
The one sūtra above comes from the eighth fascicle of the Udānavarga. Zhangfang's catalogue states that it was translated by the śramaṇa Faju of the Western Jin, which is erroneous.
Sūtra on the Merit of Renouncing the Household Life, one fascicle.
The one sūtra above comes from the beginning of the Chapter on the Merit of Renouncing the Household Life in the Damamūka-nidāna-sūtra. Zhangfang's catalogue states that it was translated by the upāsaka Zhi Qian of the Wu dynasty, which is erroneous.
Sūtra of the Buddha Explaining Knowledge of Wholesome and Unwholesome to a Young Brahmin, one fascicle (comes from the fourth fascicle of the Saṃyuktāgama; Zhangfang's catalogue states it was translated by Tripiṭaka Master An Shigao of the Later Han, which is erroneous).
Sūtra of the Buddha Explaining the Maturation of Faculties to the Elder Nakulapitar, one fascicle (comes from the fifth fascicle of the Saṃyuktāgama; Zhangfang's catalogue states it was translated by Tripiṭaka Master An Shigao of the Later Han, which is erroneous).
Sūtra of the Buddha Explaining the Abandonment of Desire to the Non-Buddhist Suśīma, one fascicle (comes from the fourteenth fascicle of the Saṃyuktāgama; Zhangfang's catalogue states it was translated by the upāsaka Zhi Qian of the Wu dynasty, which is erroneous).
Sūtra on King Aśoka Offering Half an Āmalaka Fruit, one fascicle (comes from the twenty-fifth fascicle of the Saṃyuktāgama).
Sūtra on the Fulfilment of Dhyāna Contemplation, one fascicle (comes from the twenty-ninth fascicle of the Saṃyuktāgama; according to Zhangfang's catalogue, the two earlier and later translations are both erroneous).
The five sūtras above were catalogued in the Zhou Catalogue among the lost texts. Now having located their originals, they all come from within the Saṃyuktāgama. Since they are extracted texts, they have been removed and are not catalogued.
Sūtra on the Nidāna of the Makara Fish, one fascicle (comes from the ninth fascicle).
Sūtra on the Venerable Udāyin Leading People to Pay Homage to the Buddha and Saṅgha, one fascicle (comes from the eleventh fascicle).

Sūtra on Delivering Kātyāyana, one fascicle (comes from the twentieth fascicle).
Sūtra on the Karmic Retribution and Nidāna of the Nāga King Elāpattra, one fascicle (comes from the twenty-first fascicle).
(Regarding the differences between this Sūtra on the Nāga King Elāpattra and the Sūtra on Delivering Kātyāyana: the earlier text of the former sūtra merely contains over four extra sheets of introductory nidāna, while the subsequent text is completely identical without distinction; why multiply extracts unnecessarily and divide them into two sūtras?)
Sūtra on the Nidāna of Lady Kṣemā, one fascicle (comes from the twenty-first fascicle).
Sūtra on the Nidāna of Upagupta, three fascicles (comes from the twenty-second, twenty-third, and twenty-fourth fascicles).

Sūtra on Subduing Non-Buddhists and Manifesting Great Supernormal Powers, one fascicle (comes from the twenty-sixth fascicle).
Sūtra on Mahauṣadha's Skillful Means, two fascicles (comes from the twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth fascicles).

Sūtra on the Nidāna of Mother Hārītī, one fascicle (comes from the thirty-first fascicle).
Sūtra on the Nun Dharmadinnā Attaining the Fruit While at Home, one fascicle (comes from the thirty-second fascicle).
Sūtra on the Arrogance of the Brahmin Born from a Tree, one fascicle (comes from the end of the thirty-fourth fascicle and beginning of the thirty-fifth fascicle).

Sūtra on the Seven Non-Retrogressions, one fascicle (comes from the thirty-fifth fascicle).

Sūtra on the Four Kinds of Black and White Dharma Seals, one fascicle (comes from the thirty-seventh fascicle).

Sūtra on the Minister Varṣākāra Informing the King upon the Buddha's Parinirvāṇa, one fascicle (comes from the thirty-eighth fascicle).
Sūtra on the Eight Great Kings Dividing the Śarīra, one fascicle (comes from the end of the thirty-eighth fascicle and beginning of the thirty-ninth fascicle).
(The texts of the above two sūtras overlap: the Minister Informing the King Sūtra has over two extra sheets at the beginning compared to the latter sūtra, while the Sūtra on Dividing the Śarīra has about three extra sheets at the end compared to the former sūtra, but otherwise they do not differ; extracting them as two sūtras is redundant and inappropriate).
The thirty-three sūtras from the Elder Hutāśa down all come from the Mūlasarvāstivāda-vinaya-kṣudrakavastu. From the Makara Fish Nidāna Sūtra down, the forty-two sūtras in forty-nine fascicles are all nidānas from the Sarvāstivāda vinaya, extracted and circulated by Tripiṭaka Master Yijing. Since they belong to the category of extracted texts, they are all deleted. Among them, the Sūtra on Proper and Improper Ways of Giving Goods and the Sūtra on the Disciple Serving the Teacher show slight additions or omissions compared to the full text, but their meaning does not differ from the root; why redundantly make them separate works and fascicles? Categorized with the various extracted texts, they are also deleted.
