(The compiler says: The structural principles devised in Sengyou's catalogue are impressive. Yet if one examines them closely, errors are not lacking. For example, in fascicle 1, in the former "Account of Variant Translations of Sūtras," it says: "In the old translations, [it was] dasa'ajie aluohe sanyesanfo (tathāgato ’rhan samyaksaṃbuddhaḥ); in the new translations, anouduoluo sanmiaosanputi (anuttarasamyaksaṃbodhi)." This is the first mistake. If one correlates the old and new, one should say: "In the old translations, dasa'ajie aluohe sanyesanfo; in the new translations, duotuo'ajiedu aluohe sanmiaosanfeduo. In the old translations, anouduoluo sanyesanpu; in the new translations, anouduoluo sanmiaosanputi." These two meanings are entirely distinct and must not be conflated. Furthermore, Dharmarakṣa (Tanmoluochai) and Zhu Fahu are simply one person—tanmo means "dharma" (fa) and luochai means "protection" (hu)—yet he divided them into two persons. This is the second mistake. In the catalogue of variant translations of sūtras and treatises, whenever the titles were merely similar, he immediately called them re-translations without making a careful critical distinction, conflating Mahāyāna and Hīnayāna. This is the third mistake. Regarding the old Guanding Yaoshi [jing], he treated it as an excerpted compilation by Huijian of the Song dynasty and entered it into the catalogue of doubtful and apocryphal works. This is the fourth mistake. In addition, within the collection of prefaces, there are frequent discrepancies with the previously listed translators and eras, lacking meticulous cross-checking. This is the fifth mistake. Compared to other works, however, its blunders are exceedingly few; this is merely a minor blemish on a precious gem).

Divided into six fascicles, with the General Catalogue as the seventh, making ten fascicles in all.
(The compiler says: In examining the rest of this, errors are not lacking. For instance, Tanmoluochai is in the Jin language Zhu Fahu; they are completely the same person. In the catalogue, he is divided into two, stating that he produced the Xuzhen tianzi jing in two fascicles and classifying it as a re-translation, failing to recognize Sanskrit and Jin words; this is the first mistake. As for the Lü ershi'er mingliao lun, it is entirely a single text, yet in the catalogue it is divided into two works: the Lü [in] twenty-two fascicles is classified among the Vinaya, while the Mingliao lun in one fascicle is in
