23.14

調伏藏者。經云。勝故祕故佛獨制故。如契經中。諸弟子說法。或諸天說法律則不爾。一切佛說。自古群錄皆將摩得勒伽善見論等。編為正毘奈耶藏。今者尋思恐將非當。此等並是分部已後諸聖賢等依宗贊述。非佛金口所宣。又非千聖結集。今之撰錄分為二例。初明五部正調伏藏。次明諸論奈耶眷屬。庶根條不雜本末區分。幸諸達人重垂刊正。

As for the Vinaya Piṭaka, the sūtra states that it is [preeminent] because it is supreme, secret, and formulated exclusively by the Buddha. Just as in the sūtras, where disciples preach the Dharma, or deities preach the Dharma, the Vinaya is not like this: all of it was spoken by the Buddha. Since ancient times, the various catalogues have all classified the Mātṛkā, Samantapāsādikā, and the like under the authentic Vinaya Piṭaka. Reflecting upon this now, I fear this may not be appropriate. These works were all composed and expounded by sages and worthies according to their respective schools after the schisms; they were not spoken directly from the Buddha's golden mouth, nor were they compiled in the councils of the thousand holy ones. In compiling the present catalogue, I have divided it into two categories: the first clarifies the authentic Vinaya Piṭakas of the five schools; the second clarifies the treatises as accessories to the Vinaya. It is hoped that root and branch will not be confused, and that origin and developments will be kept distinct. May men of discernment graciously correct it.
