*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).
