18.4.5

at the end, but the rest are completely identical. Now saying they are retranslations and retaining both texts is the eighth error. The Vinaya in Twenty-Two [Stanzas] is placed among the vinayas, while the Treatise Clarifying the Tenets (Vimokṣamārga / Saṃmatīyaśāstra) is placed in the catalogue of treatises; splitting one title into two is the ninth error. The 'Vinaya in Twenty-Two [Stanzas]' is merely half the title of the Treatise Clarifying the Tenets; now preserving it as 'Vinaya in twenty-two fascicles' is an error piled upon an error. In the chronological catalogue, the Prakaraṇāryavācā-abhidharma-śāstra is said to have been translated jointly by Guṇabhadra and Bodhiyaśas under the Song dynasty, but in the canon catalogue it is stated that the translator's provenance is lost; this inconsistency between before and after is the tenth error. The others remain in the catalogue; they cannot be recounted in full).
Sui Catalogue of Canonical Scriptures in five fascicles (Compiled in the second year of Renshou by imperial order requesting the venerable elders of Xingshan Monastery along with translation śramaṇas, scholars, etc.)

Single translations (originally having one Indic text with no other translations): totaling 370 works in 1,786 fascicles.
The first fascicle above.
Retranslations (originally being one scripture, but having two translations or even up to six retranslations): totaling 277 works in 583 fascicles.
Anthologies and biographies of sages and saints (authored by sages and saints, with known translation provenances): totaling 41 works in 164 fascicles.
The second fascicle above (The three sections of the preceding two fascicles total 688 works in 2,533 fascicles, entered into the canon as extant entries).
Extracts (excerpted from the main works to circulate separately): totaling 810 works in 1,288 fascicles.
The third fascicle above.
Suspected and spurious works (whose titles seem orthodox, but whose doctrines show human fabrication): totaling 209 works in 491 fascicles.
The fourth fascicle above.
Missing texts (listed in old catalogues but without extant scripture texts): totaling 402 works in 747 fascicles (searches requested).
The fifth fascicle above.
Its preface states in brief: Extracts and suspected and spurious works need not be copied; the remaining three sections are included in the canon. As for works such as the Fabao ji (Collection of the Dharma Jewel) and the Jingzhu zi (Pure Abiding), they are treated as abridged excerpts and classified as extracts. Others, such as the biographies of monks, contain literary and historical language and are not of pure doctrinal form; although their events can be investigated, in meaning they have no place in the catalogue. The Neidian lu states: they are currently transcribed everywhere and widely circulated in the capital; simply listing the titles of the scriptures while still evaluating the translations, it omits more than half and is not worthy of examination. (The compiler says: When I examine this catalogue, it is not without errors. For instance, the Hongdao guangxian sanmei jing and the Anavatapta-nāgarāja-sūtra are two titles for one scripture, both said to have been translated by Dharmarakṣa; preserving both texts is the first error. Furthermore, the Puyao jing in eight fascicles is said to have been translated by Dharmarakṣa of the Western Jin, but in the catalogue of missing texts it again lists the Puyao jing in eight fascicles, also said to have been translated by Dharmarakṣa; recording it in both the extant and missing sections is the second error. Furthermore, within the canon the Puyao jing in eight fascicles is called a single translation, but in the catalogue of missing texts it is called a retranslation; this discrepancy between before and after regarding missing texts is the third error. The She dacheng lun (Mahāyānasaṃgraha) translated by Paramārtha in twelve fascicles and the one in fifteen fascicles: although the fascicle counts differ, the text is not different; now preserving both texts is the fourth error. The Mahīśāsaka-karmavācanā is recorded repeatedly before and after in the catalogue of missing texts; this is the fifth error. Classifying texts such as the Suiyuan wangsheng jing and the Yijiao lun (Commentary on the Buddha's Bequest) as suspected and spurious is the sixth error. Others remain in the catalogue; they cannot be recorded in full).
