20.22.1
Mahāratnakūṭa Section: 120 fascicles, 12 cases.
Translated by the Tripiṭaka Master Bodhiruci of South India under the Great Tang; newly compiled into the catalogue.
The above sūtra combines new and old, duplicate and single translations, making 49 assemblies united into one corpus. (Between new and old there are 20 assemblies of single translations, and between new and old 29 assemblies of duplicate translations. Among these, 26 assemblies are newly translated by the Tripiṭaka Master Bodhiruci of the Great Tang, and 23 assemblies are ancient translations and earlier Tang translations collated against the Indic text by Bodhiruci and, matching it, incorporated into the assembly sequence. They are fully listed below.)
Assembly 1: The Assembly of the Three Moral Codes, 3 fascicles.
Newly translated by the Tripiṭaka Master Bodhiruci of the Great Tang; second translation.
The above new translation is a duplicate version, being a different translation of the same text as the old Dafangguang sanjie jing. Fascicles 1 through 3.
Assembly 2: The Assembly of Boundless Adornment, 4 fascicles.
Newly translated by the Tripiṭaka Master Bodhiruci of the Great Tang.
The above new translation is a single version. Fascicles 4 through 7.
Assembly 3: The Assembly of the Guhyaka-vajradhara, 7 fascicles.
Translated by the Tripiṭaka Master Dharmarakṣa of the Western Jin; collated, matched, and incorporated.
The above old translation is a single version. Fascicles 8 through 14.
Assembly 4: The Assembly of the Devaputra of the Śuddhāvāsa, 2 fascicles.
Translated by the Tripiṭaka Master Dharmarakṣa of the Western Jin; recorded in Fashang's catalogue; collated, matched, and incorporated.
The above old translation was originally a single version titled Pusa shuomeng jing, now newly renamed Assembly of the Devaputra of the Śuddhāvāsa. Fascicles 15 and 16. (Upon close examination of the phrasing, it is somewhat dissimilar to Dharmarakṣa's sūtras. Catalogues such as Changfang's all state that the translator's name was lost; Fashang's catalogue states that it was produced by Dharmarakṣa. For now, it is recorded according to Fashang's catalogue.)
Assembly 5: The Assembly of Amitāyus Tathāgata, 2 fascicles.
Newly translated by the Tripiṭaka Master Bodhiruci of the Great Tang.
The above new translation is a duplicate version, being a different translation of the same text as the old Wuliang qingjing pingdengjue jing, Amituo jing, Wuliangshou jing, etc. [Fascicles 17 and] 18.
Assembly 6: The Assembly of Akṣobhya Tathāgata, 2 fascicles.
Newly translated by the Tripiṭaka Master Bodhiruci of the Great Tang; second translation.

Assembly 7: The Assembly of the Armor-clad Adornment, 5 fascicles.
Newly translated by the Tripiṭaka Master Bodhiruci of the Great Tang.
The above new translation is a single version. Fascicles 21 through 25.
Assembly 8: The Assembly of the Non-differentiation of the Dharmadhātu's Nature, 2 fascicles.
Translated by the Tripiṭaka Master Mandrasena of the Liang; second translation; collated, matched, and incorporated.
The above old translation is a duplicate version, being a different translation of the same text as the Fajie tixing jing translated by Kumārajīva of the Yao Qin. Fascicles 26 and 27. (The Qin translation.)
Assembly 9: The Assembly of the Ten Dharmas of the Mahāyāna, 1 fascicle.
Translated by the Tripiṭaka Master Buddhasānta of the Northern Wei; second translation; collated, matched, and incorporated.
The above old translation is a duplicate version, being a different translation of the same text as the Dacheng shifa jing translated by Saṃghabhara (Zhongkai) of the Liang (the one that opens with "Bhagavat"). Fascicle 28. (Attributing this version to Saṅghapāla is an error.)
Assembly 10: The Assembly of Mañjuśrī's Universal Gate, 1 fascicle.
Newly translated by the Tripiṭaka Master Bodhiruci of the Great Tang; second translation.
The above new translation is a duplicate version, being a different translation of the same text as the old Pumenpin jing, etc. Fascicle 29.
Assembly 11: The Assembly of the Manifestation of Light, 5 fascicles.
Newly translated by the Tripiṭaka Master Bodhiruci of the Great Tang.
The above new translation is a single version. Fascicles 30 through 34.
Assembly 12: The Assembly of the Bodhisattvapiṭaka, 20 fascicles.
Translated by the Tripiṭaka Master Xuanzang of the Great Tang; recorded in the Neidian lu; collated, matched, and incorporated.
The above earlier Tang translation is a single version. Fascicles 35 through 54. (As for this Assembly of the Bodhisattvapiṭaka, the Great Zhou Catalogue classifies it under duplicate translations, taking it as a different translation of the same text as the three-fascicle Pusa zang jing, which is a gross error. Although the titles are the same, their lengths are completely different; upon checking the text and meaning, they diverge even further. That three-fascicle Pusa zang is also incorporated into this collection: namely, it is the Assembly of Pūrṇa. It has now been emended from the old [listing] and definitively taken as a single translation.)
Assembly 13: The Assembly of the Buddha Explaining the Dwelling in the Womb to Ānanda, 1 fascicle.
Newly translated by the Tripiṭaka Master Bodhiruci of the Great Tang; second translation.
The above new translation is a duplicate version, being a different translation of the same text as the old Baotai jing. Fascicle 55.
Assembly 14: The Assembly of the Buddha Explaining Entry into the Womb, 3 fascicles.
Translated by the Tripiṭaka Master Yijing of the Great Tang; collated, matched, and incorporated.
The above earlier Tang translation is a single version. Fascicles 56 and 57. (This Assembly of Entry into the Womb was originally titled Fo wei Nantuo shuo chujia rutai jing, found in fascicles 11 and 12 of the Mūlasarvāstivāda Vinaya Kṣudrakavastu. The Tripiṭaka Master Yijing extracted it to circulate separately. Now Bodhiruci has collated it with the Indic text and, matching it, incorporated it into the assembly sequence. Since it was not re-translated, it is a single version. Furthermore, with regard to the story in the Zabaocang jing of Nanda being pressed by the Buddha into leaving household life, although the beginning is slightly similar, the subsequent text is completely different; it is improper to consider it a duplicate translation. By its text and doctrine, both this assembly and the preceding assembly properly belong to the Śrāvakapiṭaka; now, having been incorporated into the Ratnakūṭa, they are comprehensively subsumed under the Bodhisattvapiṭaka.)
Assembly 15: The Assembly of Mañjuśrī's Prediction, 3 fascicles.
Translated under the Heavenly Empress of the Great Tang by the Tripiṭaka Master Śikṣānanda of Khotan; third translation; collated, matched, and incorporated.

Assembly 16: The Assembly of the Bodhisattva Seeing Reality, 16 fascicles.
Translated by the Tripiṭaka Master Narendrayaśas of the Northern Qi; collated, matched, and incorporated.
The above old translation is a single version. Fascicles 61 through 76.
Assembly 17: The Assembly of Pūrṇa, 3 fascicles.
Translated by the Tripiṭaka Master Kumārajīva of the Yao Qin; second translation; collated, matched, and incorporated.
The above old translation is a duplicate version, originally titled Pusa zang jing or Dabeixin jing, being a different translation of the same text as the Pusa zang jing translated by Dharmarakṣa of the Western Jin. Fascicles 77 through 79. (The Jin translation is lost.)
Assembly 18: The Assembly of the Bodhisattva Rāṣṭrapāla, 2 fascicles.

The above old translation is a duplicate version, being a different translation of the same text as the Fajing jing and Youjialuoyue wen pusaxing jing, etc. Fascicle 82. (Attributing this version to Kang Sengyi is an error.)
