*Śraddhābalādhānāvatāramudrā-sūtra*, five fascicles
Translated by Dharmaruci, Tripiṭaka master of India under the Yuan Wei. Single translation.
The above eleven sūtras in fifteen fascicles are in one case.
*Sarvabuddhaviṣayāvatārajñānālokālaṃkāra-sūtra*, one fascicle (Translator lost; now appended to the Qin catalogue. First translation. The above sūtra: The Great Zhou Catalogue states that it was translated by Bodhiruci, Tripiṭaka master of the Yuan Wei, citing Changfang's catalogue. However, upon examining Changfang's and other catalogues, this sūtra title is not among Bodhiruci's translations. It is now treated as an anonymous translation and appended to the Qin catalogue. Furthermore, it is an error to claim that it is an alternate translation of the same text as the *Tathāgatālaṃkārajñānālokāvatāra-sarvabuddhaviṣayajñānālaṃkāra-sūtra*. Now examining the text and doctrinal meaning, their purports are completely distinct. Although the titles appear similar, what they expound is different. Seeking its essential meaning, it is in fact an alternate translation of the same text as the *Buddhāvataṃsaka Entering the Inconceivable Realm of the Tathāgata's Virtues and Wisdom Sūtra*; hence it has been moved and catalogued here).
*Buddhāvataṃsaka Entering the Inconceivable Realm of the Tathāgata's Virtues and Wisdom Sūtra*, two fascicles
Translated by Jñānagupta et al., Tripiṭaka master of India under the Sui. Taken from the Neidian lu. Third translation.
*Mahāvaipulya Entering the Inconceivable Realm of the Tathāgata's Wisdom and Virtues Sūtra*, one fascicle
Translated by Śikṣānanda, Tripiṭaka master of Khotan under the Heavenly Empress of the Great Tang. Newly entered into the catalogue. Fourth translation. The above three sūtras are different translations of the same text (four translations in total, new and old, of which one translation is missing).
*Mahāvaipulya Buddhāvataṃsaka-sūtra Inconceivable Buddha-Realm Section*, one fascicle (or two fascicles)
Translated by Devaprajñā, Tripiṭaka master of Khotan under the Heavenly Empress of the Great Tang. Taken from the Great Zhou Catalogue. First translation.
*Mahāvaipulya Inconceivable Realm of the Tathāgata Sūtra*, one fascicle
Translated by Śikṣānanda, Tripiṭaka master of Khotan under the Heavenly Empress of the Great Tang. Newly entered into the catalogue. Second translation.
The above two sūtras are different translations of the same text.
*Practice Section of Bodhisattva Vajraśikhāmaṇi of the Mahāyāna*, one fascicle (also called *Preliminary Practice Chapter of Bodhisattva Vajramālā*)
Translated by Bodhiruci, Tripiṭaka master of India under the Heavenly Empress of the Great Tang. Taken from the Great Zhou Catalogue. Single translation.
*Mahāvaipulya Buddhāvataṃsaka-sūtra Cultivation of Compassion Section*, one fascicle
Translated by Devaprajñā, Tripiṭaka master of Khotan under the Heavenly Empress of the Great Tang. Newly entered into the catalogue. Single translation.
*Mahāvaipulya Sūtra Spoken by Bodhisattva Samantabhadra*, one fascicle
Translated by Śikṣānanda, Tripiṭaka master of Khotan under the Heavenly Empress of the Great Tang. Newly entered into the catalogue. Single translation.
*Adornment of the Bodhicitta Sūtra*, one fascicle
Translated by Kumārajīva, Tripiṭaka master under the Yao Qin. Fourth translation.
The above nine sūtras in ten fascicles are in the same case.
*Mahāvaipulya Bodhisattva Daśabhūmika-sūtra*, one fascicle
Translated jointly by Kikkāya, Tripiṭaka master of the Western Regions, and Tanyao under the Yuan Wei. Fifth translation.
The above two sūtras are different translations of the same text. (Five translations earlier and later; three translations are missing. The Great Zhou Catalogue states that this *Bodhisattva Daśabhūmika-sūtra* is an alternate translation of the "Ten Abodes Chapter" of the *Avataṃsaka*, which is erroneous; examining the text and sentences, their meaning and purport are vastly different; it can only be considered an attendant scripture of the *Avataṃsaka*).
The above eleven sūtras, beginning with the *Śraddhābalādhānāvatāramudrā-sūtra*, all bear partial resemblances to the *Avataṃsaka* and are subsumed under its attendant scriptures, but are not of the primary class, because their depictions of the adornments of the three realms are inferior.
*Sūtra Spoken by the Buddha on the Ten Powers*, one fascicle
Translated by the Tripiṭaka master of Anxi, Wutitixiyu, at Lianhua Monastery. (Newly entered into the Zhenyuan catalogue).
*Sūtra Spoken by the Buddha on the Wheel of Dedication*, one fascicle
Translated by Śīladharma, Tripiṭaka master of the country of Khotan, at Longxing Monastery in Beiting. (Newly entered into the Zhenyuan catalogue).
*Daśabhūmika-sūtra Spoken by the Buddha*, nine fascicles
Translated by Śīladharma, Tripiṭaka master and śramaṇa of the country of Khotan, at Longxing Monastery in Beiting. Submitted and brought in from Anxi and Beiting. (Newly entered into the Zhenyuan catalogue).
The above four sūtras in twelve fascicles are in one case.
*Dousha jing*, one fascicle
Translated by Lokakṣema, Yuezhi Tripiṭaka master under the Later Han.
The above single sūtra is an alternate translation of the "Names of the Tathāgata Chapter" of the *Avataṃsaka-sūtra*.
(In the older sūtra it is in the fifth fascicle; in the newer sūtra it is in the twelfth. Compared to the larger recension, this sūtra is slightly abridged).
*Bodhisattva Benye jing*, one fascicle (also directly called *Benye jing*; also called *Pure Conduct Chapter Sūtra*)
Translated by Zhi Qian, Yuezhi upāsaka under the Wu.
*Sūtra on the Bodhisattvas Seeking the Buddha's Original Karmic Actions*, one fascicle (sometimes without the word "All")
Translated by Nie Daozhen, pure-faith layman under the Western Jin.
The above two sūtras are alternate translations of the "Pure Conduct Chapter" of the *Avataṃsaka*.
(In the older sūtra it is in the sixth fascicle; in the newer sūtra it is in the fourteenth. Zhi Qian's translation also combines the "Ten Abodes Chapter" and abridges the verses. In the Great Zhou Canon Catalogue there is also a one-fascicle *Bodhisattva Benye jing*, which is also an alternate translation of the "Pure Conduct Chapter"; searching for the text was unsuccessful, so it is omitted here).
*Bodhisattva Practice of the Ten Abodes Chapter*, one fascicle (also directly called *Bodhisattva Ten Abodes*)
Translated by Dharmarakṣa, Tripiṭaka master under the Western Jin.
Taken from Fajing's catalogue; gathered and included as a recovered omission.
*Bodhisattva Ten Abodes Sūtra*, two fascicles
Translated by Jītamitra, Tripiṭaka master of the Western Regions under the Eastern Jin.
The above two sūtras are alternate translations of the "Ten Abodes of the Bodhisattva Chapter" of the *Avataṃsaka* (in the older sūtra it is in the ninth fascicle; in the newer sūtra it is in the sixteenth fascicle, with the verses omitted).
*Gradual Preparation for the Virtue of All-Knowledge Sūtra*, five fascicles (or ten fascicles; also named *Ten Abodes*, also named *Great Light of Wisdom Samādhi*)
Translated by Dharmarakṣa, Tripiṭaka master under the Western Jin.
The above six sūtras in eleven fascicles are in the same case.
*Ten Abodes Sūtra*, four fascicles (or five fascicles)
Translated jointly by Kumārajīva and Buddhayaśas, Tripiṭaka masters under the Yao Qin.
The above two sūtras are alternate translations of the "Ten Stages Chapter" of the *Avataṃsaka*.
(In the older sūtra it runs from fascicle twenty-five to twenty-nine; in the newer sūtra it runs from fascicle thirty-four to thirty-nine. Bodhisattva Vasubandhu composed the *Commentary on the Daśabhūmika* in twelve fascicles).
*Sūtra on the Samādhi Inquired by Bodhisattva Samanetra* (also named *Samantabhadra's Concentration of Mind*; or three fascicles)
Translated by Dharmarakṣa, Tripiṭaka master under the Western Jin.
The above single sūtra is an alternate translation of the "Ten Concentrations Chapter" of the new *Avataṃsaka*.
(Running from fascicle forty to forty-three. The older *Avataṃsaka-sūtra* lacks the "Ten Concentrations Chapter". This *Inquiry of Samanetra Sūtra* was treated as a single translation in the Zhou catalogue; now collated, it is verified as a retranslation).
*Sūtra on the Manifestation of the Virtues of Boundless Buddha Lands*, one fascicle
Translated by Xuanzang, Tripiṭaka master of the Great Tang.
Taken from the Neidian lu.
The above single sūtra is an alternate translation of the "Lifespan Chapter" of the *Avataṃsaka*.
(In the older sūtra it is in the thirtieth fascicle; in the newer sūtra it is in the forty-fifth).
*Tathāgata-utpattisaṃbhava-sūtra*, four fascicles (also named *Manifestation like an Illusion Sūtra*)
The above single sūtra is an alternate translation of the "Ratnarāja Tathāgata Nature-Arising Chapter" and the "Ten Forbearances Chapter" of the older *Avataṃsaka*.
(Running from the middle of fascicle thirty-five through fascicle thirty-seven. The "Ten Forbearances Chapter" is in fascicle thirty; here the verses are omitted, though it is unknown why they are separated before and after).
In the newer sūtra it is named "Appearance of the Tathāgata".
(Running from fascicle fifty through fifty-two. Its "Ten Forbearances Chapter" is in the fortieth fascicle. In older catalogues there is also a two-fascicle *Secret Treasury of the Tathāgata's Nature-Arising Sūtra*, which is an excerpted separate circulation of the "Nature-Arising Chapter" from the older sūtra; its text does not differ, merely taking the initial causal arising from the second assembly to prefix the sūtra head and adding an introductory narrative of certification, so it is not a distinct translation and is not recorded again here).
The above four sūtras in eleven fascicles are in the same case.
*Transcending the World Chapter Sūtra*, six fascicles (or five fascicles)
Translated by Dharmarakṣa, Tripiṭaka master under the Western Jin.
The above single sūtra is an alternate translation of the "Departing from the World Chapter" of the *Avataṃsaka* (in the older sūtra it runs from fascicle thirty-eight to forty-four; in the newer sūtra it runs from fascicle fifty-three to fifty-nine).
*Rāmaka-sūtra*, three fascicles
Translated by the śramaṇa Shi Shengjian of the Qifu Qin.
Taken from the Neidian lu.
The above single sūtra is an alternate translation of the "Entering the Dharmadhātu Chapter" of the *Avataṃsaka*.
(Compared to the original chapter, this *Rāmaka-sūtra* has textual omissions and is incomplete, translating only a small portion from the middle. In the older sūtra it ends where it reaches the night goddess Sarvanagararakṣāsaṃbhavatejaḥ from the elder Anupama, from fascicle fifty-one through the beginning of fascicle fifty-two; in the newer sūtra it corresponds to the middle of fascicle sixty-seven through the beginning of fascicle seventy).
*Buddhāvataṃsaka-mahāvaipulya-sūtra Continuation of the Entering the Dharmadhātu Chapter*, one fascicle (or without the word "Continuation")
Translated by Divākara, Tripiṭaka master of Central India under the Great Tang. Taken from the Great Zhou Catalogue.
The above single sūtra continues the "Entering the Dharmadhātu Chapter" of the older *Avataṃsaka-sūtra* (in some editions, the text of this sūtra is continuously appended into the main division itself, at fascicle fifty-seven).
The above three sūtras in ten fascicles are in the same case.
(From the *Dousha jing* downwards, the twenty-three sūtras are all alternate translations of individual chapters from the larger corpus).

21.7

Nirvāṇa Section (together with its offshoot scriptures, compiled here)

21.8

A total of 6 works, 58 fascicles, in 6 cases.

21.9

Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra, 40 fascicles (or 36 fascicles, in 4 cases).
Translated at Guzang by Dharmakṣema, Indian Tripiṭaka master of the Northern Liang.
(The fifth translation, a composite of individual and re-translations. When this Nirvāṇa-sūtra reached Jianye during the Yuanjia era of the reign of Emperor Wen of the Song, the śramaṇa Fan Huiyan of Youzhou, the śramaṇa Cui Huiguan of Qinghe, and the retired scholar Xie Lingyun of Chen Commandery, observing that Dharmakṣema's earlier text had coarse and brief chapter divisions, supplemented it with chapter titles based on the older Nihuán jīng. Where the text was excessively plain, they altered and rearranged it considerably into a thirty-fascicle text that circulated in Jiangzuo, which differed slightly from the earlier scripture. There is a one-fascicle treatise briefly explaining the Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra, and another one-fascicle treatise explaining the verse on 'originally existing but now absent'.)
Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra: Latter Portion of the Cremation, 2 fascicles
(also titled 'Śarīra Cremation Portion' [Shéwéi fèn], or 'Latter Portion').
Great Tang (translated jointly in the realm of Poling in the Southern Sea by the śramaṇa Jñānabhadra of that kingdom and the Tang śramaṇa Huining; single extant translation in the Great Zhou Catalogue).
The one scripture above is a supplement to the preceding Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra, continuing from the end of the Kauṇḍinya Chapter to recount the events of the cremation and related occurrences after the parinirvāṇa. (Tripiṭaka Master Yijing's Biography of Eminent Monks Who Sought the Dharma states: During the Linde era, the śramaṇa Huining of Chengdu in Yifu traveled to India. Reaching the realm of Poling in the Southern Sea, he collaborated with the Tripiṭaka master of that realm, the śramaṇa Jñānabhadra—in Tang language, Zhixian—to extract from the Āgama scriptures the account of the Tathāgata's nirvāṇa and cremation; it is not the Mahāyāna Nirvāṇa-sūtra. He dispatched envoys to send it back, where it was compared with texts from India. Examining this scripture now, it bears a slight resemblance to the Yuxing jing [Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra] in the first portion of the Dīrgha-āgama, though they are not entirely identical. Moreover, the scripture speaks of the dharmakāya as eternally enduring, permanent, blissful, self, and pure, and describes the realm of Buddhas and bodhisattvas as beyond the grasp of the two vehicles, thereby intersecting in doctrine with the Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra. Furthermore, the beginning of the text bears the title 'End of the Kauṇḍinya Chapter,' maintaining continuity in rhetorical flow, so it is temporarily catalogued here. Let the widely learned and wise examine and determine this.)
Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra [Dà bān níhuán jīng], 6 fascicles (or 10 fascicles).
Translated jointly by the Eastern Jin śramaṇa Shi Faxian of Pingyang and Buddhabhadra [Juexian]. Fourth translation.
The one scripture above is the earlier portion of the Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra, extending to the Chapter of the Great Assembly's Inquiry; it is a different translation of the same original.
(Together with the Cremation Portion, there were seven translations in all, four of which are missing texts.)
The above two scriptures, in 8 fascicles, share the same case.
Vaipulya-parinirvāṇa-sūtra, 2 fascicles (also titled Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra, or in 3 fascicles).
Translated by the Western Jin Tripiṭaka master Dharmarakṣa. First translation.
Caturdārakasamādhi-sūtra, 3 fascicles (or simply titled Four Boys Sūtra).
Translated by the Sui Indian Tripiṭaka master Jñānagupta and others. Second translation.
The above two scriptures are different translations of the same original. (According to various catalogues, there is also an Ākrośana-sūtra [Aiqì jīng] in 2 fascicles, or 1 fascicle, noted as a different translation of the same original as the Vaipulya-parinirvāṇa-sūtra, though the circumstances of its translation are not detailed. Examining its phrasing, it is identical to the Vaipulya-parinirvāṇa-sūtra without any difference. The opening chapter of the Vaipulya-parinirvāṇa-sūtra is titled 'Weeping and Lamentation' [Āiqì], and this title was merely adopted as the scripture's name; compared to the Vaipulya-parinirvāṇa-sūtra, it lacks three chapters, while the rest is indistinguishable. Since it is redundant, it has been eliminated and is not catalogued.)
Mahākaruṇā-sūtra, 5 fascicles.
Translated by the Northern Qi Indian Tripiṭaka master Narendrayaśas together with Fazhi. Single translation.
The above three scriptures, in 10 fascicles, share the same case (the Vaipulya-parinirvāṇa-sūtra and the other two scriptures are offshoots of the Nirvāṇa class).

21.10

Various Re-translated Scriptures Outside the Five Great Sections

21.11

(373 works, 588 fascicles, in 51 cases).

21.12.1

Lalitavistara-sūtra [Fangguang dazhuangyan jing], 12 fascicles (also titled Supernatural Play [Shentong youxi]).
Translated by the Great Tang Central Indian Tripiṭaka master Divākara.
From the Great Zhou Catalogue. Fourth translation.
Puyao jing [Lalitavistara-sūtra], 8 fascicles (also titled Fangdeng benqi).
Translated by the Western Jin Tripiṭaka master Dharmarakṣa.
Second translation; two out of four translations are missing.
The above two scriptures are different translations of the same original. (The Dàzhuāngyán jīng is catalogued in question catalogues as an isolated translation, and some classify the Pǔyào jīng under the Hīnayāna canon; both are mistaken.)
The above two scriptures, in 20 fascicles, are in 2 cases.
Saddharmapuṇḍarīka-samādhi-sūtra, 1 fascicle. Offshoot of the Lotus Sūtra.
Translated by the Song śramaṇa Shi Zhiyan of the metropolitan prefecture. Single translation.
Anantanirdeśa-sūtra, 1 fascicle. Precursor exposition to the Lotus Sūtra.
Translated by the Southern Qi Indian śramaṇa Dharmagatayaśas.
Second translation; one out of two translations is missing.
Saddharmapuṇḍarīka-sūtra [Satan fentuoli jing], 1 fascicle. (This consists of fragments separately extracted from the Stūpa and Devadatta chapters of the Lotus Sūtra. Sengyou's catalogue notes it as an anonymous translation from Dao'an's catalogue; it is now appended to the Western Jin catalogue as a recovered omission.)
Miaofa lianhua jing [Lotus Sūtra], 8 fascicles (28 chapters, or in 7 fascicles).
Translated by the Later Qin Tripiṭaka master Kumārajīva. Fifth translation.
The four scriptures above. (The Devadatta Chapter at the beginning of fascicle five of this Lotus Sūtra was translated at Waguan Monastery during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Liang by the foreign Tripiṭaka master *Dharmamati together with the Capital Controller of the Sangha, the śramaṇa Faxian; its Indic palm-leaf text was brought from Khotan by Faxian. The reiterated verses of the Universal Gateway Chapter at the beginning of fascicle eight were translated at Longyuan Monastery in Yizhou during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Zhou by the North Indian Tripiṭaka master Jñānagupta. Both were absent from the Qin text and were subsequently interpolated. Furthermore, the six dhāraṇī mantras of Bodhisattva Bhaiṣajyarāja and others in fascicle eight were re-translated by the Great Tang Tripiṭaka master Xuanzang and appear in the Sounds and Meanings; they are not listed separately here.)
Ritual of Yogic Contemplation and Wisdom for Accomplishing the King of the Wonderful Dharma Lotus Flower Sūtra, 1 fascicle.
Translated under imperial decree by the Tripiṭaka śramaṇa Da Guangzhi Amoghavajra of Daxingshan Monastery.
Newly entered into the Zhenyuan Catalogue.
The above five scriptures, in 12 fascicles, share the same case.
Zheng fahua jing [Lotus Sūtra], 10 fascicles (also called Fangdeng zheng fahua, or in 7 fascicles, 1 case).
Translated by the Western Jin Tripiṭaka master Dharmarakṣa. Third translation.
Miaofa lianhua jing [Lotus Sūtra with Supplemented Chapters], 7 fascicles (27 chapters, or in 8 fascicles).
Translated with supplemented chapters by the two Indian Dharma Masters Jñānagupta and Dharmagupta under the Sui.
Derived from the scripture's preface and the Neidian lu.
The above two scriptures are different translations of the same original. (The preface to the supplemented chapters states in brief: 'The Zheng fahua was translated by Dharmarakṣa; the Miaofa was translated by Kumārajīva. Upon verifying both versions, both had omissions. What Dharmarakṣa lacked was the verses of the Universal Gateway Chapter. What Kumārajīva lacked was half of the Simile of the Medicinal Herbs Chapter, the beginnings of the Pūrṇa and Dharma Preacher chapters, the Devadatta Chapter, and the verses of the Universal Gateway Chapter. Kumārajīva also transposed the Entrustment Chapter to precede the Bhaiṣajyarāja Chapter. In both versions, the dhāraṇīs were placed after the Universal Gateway Chapter. The differences between them cannot be fully recounted. Observing that the Devadatta Chapter and the Universal Gateway verses had been translated by past sages to supply omissions and put into circulation, I have revered their lofty tradition and followed their established precedent. In the xinyou year, the first year of the Renshou era of the Great Sui, at the invitation of the śramaṇa Shangxing of Puyao Monastery, I re-examined Indic palm-leaf manuscripts together with the two Dharma masters Jñānagupta and Dharmagupta at Daxingshan Monastery. The collated manuscripts still lacked the beginnings of the two chapters, Pūrṇa and Dharma Preacher; half of the Simile of the Medicinal Herbs Chapter was supplemented; the Devadatta Chapter was linked to the Emergence of the Treasure Stūpa Chapter; the Dhāraṇī Chapter was placed after the Supernatural Powers Chapter; and the Entrustment Chapter was placed at the conclusion. Discrepancies in words and phrases were also corrected. Should anyone study this, may they have no doubts.' Including this supplemented edition, there are six translations in all, three extant and three missing.)

Shàn sī tóngzǐ jīng [Good Thought Boy Sūtra], 2 fascicles.
Translated by the Sui Indian Tripiṭaka master Jñānagupta and others. Fourth translation.
The above three scriptures are different translations of the same original. (The Zhou Catalogue lists the Shan si tongzi jing among single translations, which is an error. Out of four translations in all, the second is missing.)

Compiled jointly by the śramaṇa Baogui of Daxingshan Monastery under the Sui. Serves as the fourth version.
The above two scriptures are different translations of the same original. (Its preface states in brief: 'Presently there are three versions of the Golden Light Sūtra. The first was translated in the Liang era by Dharmakṣema into four fascicles, containing only eighteen chapters. In the Great Zhou era, Jñānagupta translated a version into five fascicles, forming twenty chapters. In the Later Liang, Tripiṭaka Master Paramārtha translated four chapters at Jiankang—the Distinction of the Three Bodies, the Destruction of Karmic Obstacles Dhāraṇī, the Most Serene Ground, and the Fulfillment of Vows through Relying on Emptiness—which, supplemented to the earlier omissions, constituted twenty-four chapters. Baogui continually lamented that in such an esoteric scripture, how could the latter portion lack an Entrustment Chapter entirely? Although there were three translations of old, he suspected they were incomplete, and continually longed to encounter Indic texts. In the seventeenth year of the Great Sui, during a brief respite from Dharma lectures, he requested a Tripiṭaka master from the North Indian kingdom of Gandhāra—whose name meant Zhide [Jñānagupta]—to search again for the latter portion. They indeed found the Entrustment Chapter, and furthermore obtained the Silver Sovereign Dhāraṇī Chapter. These were immediately translated at Daxingshan Monastery in the capital. Combining them with the previously translated chapters, they formed twenty-four chapters in total, transcribed into eight fascicles. Scholar Fei Zhangfang of Chengdu took down the brush translation, and the Sanskrit-proficient śramaṇa Shi Yancong of Riyan Monastery revised and verified it.' The compiler states: This composite scripture possesses complete text and doctrine. Dharmakṣema's four-fascicle text, Paramārtha's seven-fascicle text, and Jñānagupta's five-fascicle text all have omissions. Therefore, these three scriptures are not redundantly recorded here, following Zhangfang's and others' catalogues.)

21.12.2

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou, the Indian Tripiṭaka master Yaśogupta translated one text entitled *Jinguangming jing gengguang shouliang dabian tuoluoni jing* (Sūtra of the Golden Light: Further Expanding the Span of Life and Great Eloquence Dhāraṇī), forming a work in five fascicles. In carefully examining this title now, it is not a complete translation. It merely continued and expounded two chapters within Dharmakṣema's four-fascicle scripture: in the 'Span of Life' chapter, it further continued its text, and in the 'Great Eloquence' chapter, it further expanded the dhāraṇī rituals; as it also continued [passages] within other chapters, it is called *Further Expanding the Span of Life and Great Eloquence Dhāraṇī Sūtra*. Therefore, the preface to the combined six-fascicle scripture states: 'The

21.12.4

The three-fascicle version adds the original vows of the six Buddhas as well as mantras, while the rest of the text largely agrees with Master Xuanzang's translation. As for the older Bhaiṣajyaguru-sūtra, the various catalogues all say it was translated by the Liu Song dynasty śramaṇa Huijian of Luye Monastery, but upon examining its text, it is simply an offshoot extraction of the twelfth fascicle of the Guanding jing circulating separately, with no different text existing. As for the Suiyuan wangsheng jing, the various catalogues state either that it was translated by Zhi Qian of the Wu dynasty or that it was translated by Dharmarakṣa of the Western Jin; yet what is currently circulating is simply the 'Puguang Chapter' of the twelfth fascicle of the Da guanding jing, with no separate text existing. Since both of these two sūtras are already contained within the large work, those offshoot extracts circulating separately have been abridged and omitted from this record.)

Sūtra on the Contemplation of the Buddha of Immeasurable Life, one fascicle (also called Sūtra on the Contemplation of Amitāyus; a different text from the preceding and following sūtras)
Translated by Kālayaśas, Tripiṭaka master of the Western Regions under the Liu Song; one of two translations is lacking; first translation.

Taken from Fashang's catalogue; now appended to the Eastern Jin catalogue; third translation.

Sūtra on Maitreya's Rebirth Below, one fascicle (also called Sūtra on Maitreya's Prediction; beginning with 'Great Wisdom Śāriputra')
Translated by Kumārajīva, Tripiṭaka master of the Later Qin; fourth translation. (Upon careful examination, both the Changfang lu and the Neidian lu state that the Mile xiasheng jing beginning with 'Great Wisdom Śāriputra' was previously edited and revised by the Chang'an śramaṇa Shi Daobiao and the Xiao Qi Jiangzhou śramaṇa Daozheng. Now, considering this assertion, it seems doubtful: Shi Daobiao was a monk under Master Kumārajīva who clarified meanings, not the chief translator; even if Biao had produced the translation, why would its wording and meaning be deficient? Passing down to the Qi dynasty, for Zheng to re-edit and revise it when the times were so far apart and accounts inconsistent—that claim of Daozheng's revision can hardly be taken as a standard. The sublinear note in the sūtra actually says 'Qin words', so it was indeed translated under the Qin, free from confusing doubts; that Kumārajīva's catalogue first recorded it confirms this).

Translated by Yijing, Tripiṭaka master under Empress Regnant Wu of the Great Tang; newly compiled and entered into the catalogue; sixth translation.

Translated by Gautama Prajñāruci, brāhmaṇa of the Northern Wei; third translation; taken from the preface record.
(The preface record at the beginning of the above sūtra states: 'In the fourth year of the Xinghe era of the Wei, the cyclical year being renxu, in the late summer, the sixth month, beginning with the cyclical day yiwei, on the twenty-third day dingren, translation was begun by the brāhmaṇa guest Gautama Prajñāruci and the śramaṇa Tanlin at Grand Commandant Dou's Dingchang Monastery, totaling 8,449 characters.' The claim in various catalogues that it was translated by Bodhiruci is an error; it is now corrected according to the preface record. The Zhou catalogue listing the Yiqie fa gaowang jing as a single translation is also mistaken).
The above two sūtras are variant translations of the same text (three translations in all, one lacking text).

Paramārthadharmavijaya-sūtra, one fascicle
Translated by Gautama Prajñāruci, brāhmaṇa of the Northern Wei; first translation; taken from the preface record.
(The preface record at the beginning of the above sūtra states: 'In the fourth year of the Xinghe era of the Wei, the cyclical year being renxu, on the first day jiazi of the ninth month, Gautama [Prajñā]ruci and the śramaṇa Tanlin translated this at the residence of Duke Gao, Director of the Department of State Affairs and Specially Advanced with the Threefold Splendour, totaling 5,576 characters.'
