[Sūtra on the Great Light Bodhisattva's One Hundred and Forty-Eight Vows, one fascicle (In Sengyou's catalogue it is annotated as an extracted sūtra; it is now recorded in the Catalogue of Extracted Texts and removed from the Catalogue of Spurious Texts).]
Great Dharma King Sūtra on the Descent of All Buddhas, sixty fascicles (Vinaya Master Xuan states: "I personally saw this text in the Fen region.")
Vaipulya Sūtra on Eradicating Sins and Attaining Buddhahood, three fascicles (Also titled Great Comprehension Vaipulya Repentance Sūtra on Eradicating Sins, Adornment, and Attaining Buddhahood; also called simply Great Comprehension Vaipulya Sūtra.)
Dharmapada-sūtra, two fascicles (The lower fascicle begins with "At the time of Baoming Bodhisattva..." Most circulate in one fascicle. Identical in title to the Dharmapada-sūtra in the compilations and biographies, but different in text; this was fabricated by humans.)
Sūtra Resolving Doubts on Transgressions and Blessings, one fascicle
Five Pungent Roots Sūtra, one fascicle (The Zhou catalogue gives it as Mahāyāna Prajñā Five Pungent Roots Sūtra.)
Initial Teaching Sūtra, one fascicle (Also called Most Wondrous Initial Teaching Sūtra; its literary style is similar to the Sūtra on the Most Wondrous and Surpassing Samādhi.)
Retribution for Sins Sūtra, one fascicle (Entirely different from the authentic sūtra on the severity of retribution for sins.)
Solar Disc Offering Sūtra, one fascicle
Milk Radiance Sūtra, one fascicle (Its text is entirely different from the authentic sūtra, stating that one must not drink milk and that drinking it incurs sin.)
Field of Merit Retribution Sūtra, one fascicle
Jewel Seal Sūtra, one fascicle
Ultimate Great Compassion Sūtra, four fascicles (Or three fascicles; also said to be eight fascicles.)
Pratyekabuddha-śāstra, one fascicle
Treatise on Determining the Vinaya Correctly, one fascicle
Upāli-śāstra, one fascicle (Or called Upāli-sūtra.)

Jewel Garland Treatise, one fascicle
Śrāmaṇera-śāstra, one fascicle (Or called Śrāmaṇera-śāstra Sūtra.)
Treatise on Mañjuśrī's Questions, one fascicle
The above, from the Great Dharma King Sūtra downward, comprises twenty-two works in eighty-seven fascicles. These are spurious sūtras found in the Inner Canon Catalogue compiled by Śramaṇa Daoxuan of Ximing Temple in the capital during the first year of the Linde reign era of the Great Tang. Xuan stated: "Various spurious sūtras and treatises frequently appear among the scriptures preserved in the human realm. The texts are still numerous; I await seeing them before recording further."
(The compiler notes: In the Inner Canon Catalogue there is also the Sūtra on the Entrustment in the Golden Coffin, one fascicle, which is none other than the Sūtra on Reverencing Blessings in Fajing's catalogue; hence it is not recorded here again. In addition, the Sūtra on Divining the Requital of Good and Bad Actions and the Treatise on the Bequeathed Teaching both have reliable records of their translation and transmission, and their text and doctrinal meaning are respectable; to classify them as spurious was unacceptable, so they have already been incorporated into the orthodox catalogue and are not recorded here.)
