to the Śāstra Catalogue, dividing the title of a single text into two catalogues: this is the second error. As for the Vinaya in twenty-two fascicles, that is actually part of the title of the *Mingliao lun* (Clear Meaning Treatise), yet here it is called 'twenty-two fascicles'—an extreme error! Paramārtha translated it in twelve fascicles; the two texts do not differ. Placing them into two sections and calling them separate translations is the third error. Placing the *Benevolent Kings Sūtra* (*Renwang jing*), the *Awakening of Faith* (*Qixin lun*), and others among the doubtful works is the fourth error. Being unable to present everything in detail, I have summarized it briefly in this way.)
Sui dynasty *Kaihuang Sanbao lu* (Kaihuang Record of the Three Jewels) in fifteen fascicles (titled inside as the *Lidai sanbao ji* [Chronicle of the Three Jewels Through the Ages])

*Kaihuang Sanbao lu* General Table of Contents in one fascicle (The *Neidian lu* states that the sūtras, vinaya, treatises, and biographies recorded in Fang's catalogue total 2,146 works in 6,235 fascicles; this is not the count of works entered into the canon; calculating it yields 74 works in 37 fascicles, which differs from the *Neidian lu*).
Above: including the general table of contents, it comprises fifteen fascicles in total (Fascicles 13 and 14, comprising Mahāyāna and Hīnayāna works entered into the canon, amount to 1,076 works in 3,325 fascicles; the original count in Fang's catalogue of 3,292 fascicles is a calculation error).
The *Neidian lu* states: "Among those compiled by Fang entered into the canon, there are mutual errors throughout. Its merit lies in its rich abundance, which cannot be wholly superseded. It is not without basis, and must not be biasedly excised." (The compiler notes: I have examined the catalogue of works entered into the canon by Changfang; its facts and matters are mixed and erroneous. Incomplete texts and doubtful or apocryphal works are all entered into the canon, which I humbly consider unacceptable. Furthermore, for instance, in the Mahāyāna catalogue, the *Bhadrakalpika-sūtra* (*Xianjie jing*) and the *Bhadrakalpa-samādhi-sūtra* (*Xianjie sanmei jing*) are two titles for one sūtra, yet both are preserved as two works: this is the first error. The *Subhūti Chapter* (*Xuboti pin*) and the *Devaputra Dīrgha Sūtra* (*Zhang tianzi jing*), and the *Devaputra Sucinti's Inquiry into the Four Matters Sūtra* (*Xuzhen tianzi wen sishi jing*), are likewise two titles for one sūtra, yet repeatedly recorded as two works: this is the third error. The *Elephant Pace Sūtra* (*Xiangbu jing*) is an alternate title for the *Sūtra of Having No Longing* (*Wu suoxiwang jing*), yet both are preserved: this is the fourth error. The *Bodhipracāra-sūtra* (*Puti wusuoxing jing*) is the *Mañjuśrīparipṛcchābodhi-sūtra* (*Wenshu wen puti jing*), yet both texts are preserved under their alternate titles: this is the fifth error. Including Sāṃkhya non-Buddhists under the Mahāyāna is the sixth error. In the Hīnayāna catalogue, the *Dharmatrāta Dhyāna Sūtra* (*Damoduoluo chan jing*) and the *Impurities Contemplation Dhyāna Virtues* (*Bujingguan chande*) are altogether one single sūtra: 'Impurities Contemplation' takes its title from the teaching, while 'Dharmatrāta' establishes its title from the person; preserving both as two works is the seventh error. The *Sarvâstivāda-vinaya* (*Shi song lü*) in sixty-one fascicles and the *Sarvâstivāda-vinaya* in fifty-nine fascicles are not different texts: the sixty-one fascicle edition had a vinaya preface added by Vimalâkṣa, who placed it
