Abhidharma-aṣṭagrantha-śāstra, 30 fascicles (composed by Kātyāyanīputra; also in 20 fascicles), 3 wrappers.
Translated by the Fu Qin Tripiṭaka master Saṅghadeva of Kashmīr together with Zhu Fonian. First translation.
Abhidharmājñānaprasthāna-śāstra, 20 fascicles (composed by Kātyāyanīputra), 2 wrappers.
Translated by the Great Tang Tripiṭaka master Xuanzang; appears in the Neidian lu. Second translation.
The two treatises above are different translations of the same text. They are the root of the Abhidharma-piṭaka of the Sarvāstivāda school, composed within the three hundred years after the Buddha's parinirvāṇa by the master Kātyāyanīputra. Later transmitters handed down texts that were either extensive or abridged. The text and meaning of this Jñānaprasthāna are complete, so practitioners refer to it as the 'body treatise' (śarīra-śāstra). Because each of the other six treatises expounds a single branch, differing from the body, they are called 'feet' (pāda). They are arranged next in sequence, followed by those of other schools.
1. Abhidharma-dharmaskandha-pāda-śāstra, 12 fascicles (composed by the Venerable Mahāmaudgalyāyana), 1 wrapper.
Translated by the Great Tang Tripiṭaka master Xuanzang; appears in the Neidian lu. Single translation.
2. Abhidharma-saṅgītiparyāya-pāda-śāstra, 20 fascicles (spoken by the Venerable Śāriputra), 2 wrappers.
Translated by the Great Tang Tripiṭaka master Xuanzang; appears in the Neidian lu. Single translation.
3. Prajñapti-pāda-śāstra, consisting of 18,000 verses, composed by the Venerable Mahākātyāyana (kātya here means 'tonsure', āyana means 'lineage', and na indicates masculine gender; a brāhmaṇa clan name).
This treatise has not yet been translated.
The above three pāda treatises were all composed while the Buddha was in the world.
4. Abhidharma-vijñānakāya-pāda-śāstra, 16 fascicles.
Translated by the Great Tang Tripiṭaka master Xuanzang; appears in the Neidian lu. Single translation.
The one treatise above was composed one hundred years after the Buddha's parinirvāṇa by the Venerable Arhat Devaśarman (translated in Tang as Tianji).
5. Abhidharma-prakaraṇa-pāda-śāstra, 18 fascicles.
Translated by the Great Tang Tripiṭaka master Xuanzang; appears in the Neidian lu. Second translation.
The one treatise above was composed within the three hundred years after the Buddha's parinirvāṇa by the Venerable Vasumitra (translated in Tang as Shiyou).
Zhongshi fen apitan lun (Abhidharma-prakaraṇapāda-śāstra), 12 fascicles.
Translated by the Song Indian Tripiṭaka master Guṇabhadra together with Bodhiyaśa. First translation.
The two treatises above are different translations of the same text.
The above two treatises total 20 fascicles in 3 wrappers.
6. Abhidharma-dhātukāya-pāda-śāstra, 3 fascicles.
Translated by the Great Tang Tripiṭaka master Xuanzang; appears in the Fanjing tu. Single translation.
The one treatise above was composed within the three hundred years after the Buddha's parinirvāṇa by the Venerable Vasumitra.
Together with the above Vijñānakāya-pāda-śāstra, making 19 fascicles in 2 wrappers.
Abhidharma-vibhāṣā-śāstra, 60 fascicles (also in 84 fascicles or 109 fascicles).
Translated by the Northern Liang Indian śramaṇa Buddhavarman together with Daotai and others. First translation.
The translation of this treatise was originally completed in 100 fascicles as a work, with a preface composed by the śramaṇa Daoyan. When the Wei annexed the Liang, 40 fascicles were lost, and now only 60 fascicles remain, concluding merely at the third grantha; the original text for the lower five granthas is missing at present. The new translation contains all eight granthas in full. The editions in 84 fascicles and 109 fascicles were formed by later individuals dividing the 60 fascicles; they are not originally complete texts. (Also, examining Sengyou's Fayuan of the Liang, it states that in the second month of the eleventh year of Tianjian, an imperial order commanded Saṅghapāla to re-translate the remaining five granthas of the Vibhāṣā; although this is stated, that text has still not been seen).
Abhidharma-mahāvibhāṣā-śāstra, 200 fascicles, 20 wrappers.
Translated by the Great Tang Tripiṭaka master Xuanzang;
appears in the Neidian lu.
The two treatises above are different translations of the same text, which comments upon the Jñānaprasthāna above. Within the four hundred years after the Buddha's parinirvāṇa, it was composed in the country of Kaśmīra by five hundred great arhats and others.
Abhidharmakośa-śāstra, 22 fascicles (composed by Vasubandhu).
Translated by the Chen Indian Tripiṭaka master Paramārtha. First translation.
Root verses of the Abhidharmakośa-śāstra, 1 fascicle, composed by the Venerable Vasubandhu (also in 3 fascicles).
Translated by the Great Tang Tripiṭaka master Xuanzang; appears in the Neidian lu. Second translation.
The version translated by Paramārtha is missing.
The above two treatises total 23 fascicles in 3 wrappers.
Abhidharmakośa-śāstra, 30 fascicles, composed by the Venerable Vasubandhu, 3 wrappers.
Translated by the Great Tang Tripiṭaka master Xuanzang;
appears in the Neidian lu. Second translation.
The two treatises and the verses above are different translations of the same text.
Abhidharma-nyāyānusāra-śāstra, 80 fascicles, composed by the Venerable Saṅghabhadra, 8 wrappers.
Translated by the Great Tang Tripiṭaka master Xuanzang;
appears in the Neidian lu. Single translation.
Abhidharma-samayapradīpikā-śāstra, 40 fascicles, composed by the Venerable Saṅghabhadra, 4 wrappers.
Translated by the Great Tang Tripiṭaka master Xuanzang;
appears in the Neidian lu. Single translation.
The two treatises above share the verses with the Kośa-śāstra but provide different commentaries; both were composed by Saṅghabhadra. (The Venerable Saṅghabhadra first composed the Nyāyānusāra, whose text is extensive and difficult to investigate; later he composed the Samayapradīpikā, which is concise and easy to understand, hence the repeated translation).
Abhidharma-hṛdaya-śāstra, 4 fascicles, composed by the Venerable Dharmaśreṣṭhin (or without the word 'śāstra').
Translated by the Eastern Jin Tripiṭaka master Gautama Saṅghadeva of Kashmīr. Single translation.
Dharmaśreṣṭhin's Abhidharma-hṛdaya-sūtra-śāstra, 6 fascicles, composed by the Bhadanta Upaśānta (or in 7 fascicles).
Translated by the Northern Qi Indian Tripiṭaka master Narendrayaśas together with Fazhi. Single translation. The above two treatises total 10 fascicles in the same wrapper.
Saṃyuktābhidharma-hṛdaya-śāstra, 11 fascicles (also called Saṃyuktābhidharma-vibhāṣā; composed by the Venerable Dharmatrāta; or in 14 fascicles).
Translated by the Song Indian Tripiṭaka master Saṅghavarman.
Fourth translation; three of the four translations are lost.
The three treatises above are all named Abhidharma-hṛdaya, yet their commentaries differ in length and brevity. (An annotation at the beginning of the first fascicle of the Saṃyuktābhidharma-hṛdaya-śāstra states: 'The masters explain the Dharma concisely. Upaśānta provided an explanation in 8,000 verses, and another master provided an explanation in 12,000 verses; these two treatises are called extensive. Vasubandhu explained it in 6,000 verses.' Moreover, the opening verse of the treatise states: 'Reverently I bow to the Venerable Dharmaśreṣṭhin; what he taught, I accept upon my crown. I, Dharmatrāta, expound what he did not yet say.' Thus, the first four fascicles of the three treatises above are the root treatise by Dharmaśreṣṭhin. The following six fascicles are the commentary by Upaśānta, for the end of that treatise states: 'The Bhadanta Upaśānta composed this Abhidharma-hṛdaya-śāstra for the benefit of his disciples.' Hence we know that this comments upon Dharmaśreṣṭhin's treatise and was not composed by Dharmaśreṣṭhin; that the external title of the treatise contains the words 'Dharmaśreṣṭhin' is perhaps doubtful. The title within the scrolls of the treatise lacks these two words. Various catalogues all call it Dharmaśreṣṭhin's Abhidharma, or call it the alternative translation of Dharmaśreṣṭhin's Abhidharma. The subsequent Saṃyukta-hṛdaya-śāstra was composed by Dharmatrāta; compared to the preceding two treatises, its text and doctrine are slightly more extensive).
Abhidharma-amṛtarasa-śāstra, 2 fascicles (or called Amṛtarasābhidharma; composed by the Venerable Ghoṣaka).
Translated under the Cao Wei dynasty; the name of the Tripiṭaka master who translated the treatise is lost. Single translation.
Lakṣaṇānusāra-śāstra, 1 fascicle (or called Guṇavarma-satya-lakṣaṇānusāra-śāstra; composed by Master Gunamati; or in 2 fascicles).
Translated by the Chen Indian Tripiṭaka master Paramārtha. Single translation.
The above three treatises total 14 fascicles in 2 wrappers.
Treatise Collected by the Bodhisattva Venerable Vasumitra, 10 fascicles (composed by the Venerable Vasumitra; or in 14 fascicles, or 12 fascicles).
Translated by the Fu Qin Tripiṭaka master Saṅghabhūti and others of Kashmīr. Single translation.
Sanfadu lun (Tridharmaka-śāstra), 2 fascicles (or without the word 'śāstra', or called 'sūtra', or in 3 fascicles, or in 1 fascicle).
Translated by the Eastern Jin Tripiṭaka master Gautama Saṅghadeva of Kashmīr.
Second translation (one of the two translations is lost).
(The above Tridharmaka-śāstra consists of a root text and a commentary. The root has three sections and nine true salvations; the commentary also has nine chapters. Master Huiyuan of Mount Lu states in his preface: 'The root was originally composed by the Venerable Giribhadra, and the commentary was compiled by the Indian Mahāyāna upāsaka Saṅghaśreṣṭhin.' A postscript to the scripture states: 'Compiled by the Mahāyāna bhikṣu Shi Sengjia.' The two accounts differ slightly, and it is not yet clear which is correct).
Abhidharmāvatāra-śāstra, 2 fascicles (composed by the Arhat Skandhila).
Translated by the Great Tang Tripiṭaka master Xuanzang;
appears in the Neidian lu. Single translation.
The above three treatises total 14 fascicles in 2 wrappers.
Tattvasiddhi-śāstra, 20 fascicles, composed by Harivarman (in 202 chapters in all; or in 24 fascicles).
Translated by the Yao Qin Tripiṭaka master Kumārajīva. Single translation.
Lokasthiti-abhidharma-śāstra, 10 fascicles (or without the word 'śāstra'), 1 wrapper (or in 15 fascicles).
Translated by the Chen Indian Tripiṭaka master Paramārtha. Single translation.
Vimuttimagga, 12 fascicles (or 13 fascicles), 1 wrapper.
Translated by the Liang Tripiṭaka master Saṅghapāla of Funan. Single translation.
Śāriputrābhidharma-śāstra, 22 fascicles (or 20 fascicles, or 30 fascicles).
Translated by the Yao Qin Tripiṭaka masters Dharmayaśas and Dharmagupta of Kashmīr.
Single translation.
Pañcavastuka-vibhāṣā-śāstra, 2 fascicles (also called Abhidharma-pañcavastuka-śāstra; composed by the Venerable Dharmatrāta).
Translated by the Great Tang Tripiṭaka master Xuanzang;
appears in the Fanjing tu. Single translation.
The above two treatises total 24 fascicles in 2 wrappers. (The listing of the Abhidharma-pañcavastuka-śāstra separately in the Great Zhou Catalogue is an error).
Vibhāṣā-śāstra, 14 fascicles (also called Vibhāṣābhidharma-śāstra; compiled by the Arhat Śītavani).
Translated by the Fu Qin Tripiṭaka master Saṅghabhadra of Kashmīr. Single translation.
Saṃmatīya-śāstra, 3 fascicles (or without the word 'school', or in 4 fascicles).
Translator lost (Saṃmitī here means 'Correct Measure', namely a treatise of the Saṃmatīya school).
Now appended to the Qin catalogue. Single translation.
The above two treatises total 17 fascicles in 2 wrappers.
Fenbie gongde lun (Guṇanirdeśa-śāstra), 4 fascicles (or called Fenbie gongde jing; or in 3 fascicles, or 5 fascicles).
Translator lost; entered in the Later Han catalogue. Single translation.
(This one treatise explains the meaning of the Ekottarikāgama-sūtra, from the opening Introductory Chapter past the middle of the Disciples Chapter, stopping after explaining King Bhikṣu. Master Fashang's catalogue stating that it was translated by Dharmarakṣa is incorrect. The citations and explanations of scripture herein match the phrases of the original sūtra exactly, appearing to have been translated by the same person as the Ekottarikāgama, yet other catalogues all state that the source is lost; we tentatively determine it based on this. Sengyou's catalogue stating that it was compiled by Kāśyapa and Ānanda is also incorrect, because in the first fascicle of the treatise it cites foreign masters of the Sarvāstivāda school; thus we know it was not compiled by those two venerables).
Catuḥsatya-śāstra, 4 fascicles, composed by Vasuvarman.
Translated by the Chen Indian Tripiṭaka master Paramārtha (single translation).
Pratyekabuddha-nidāna-śāstra, 2 fascicles.
Translator lost; now appended to the Qin catalogue. Single translation.
Shiba bu lun (Treatise on the Eighteen Schools), 1 fascicle.
Newly listed as translator lost; appended to the San Qin catalogue. First translation.
(Regarding this Shiba bu lun: examining the various catalogues, they all state that it was translated by the Tripiṭaka master Paramārtha of the Liang dynasty. Considering now that the Tripiṭaka master Paramārtha had already translated the Treatise on the Eighteen Schools, it would be inappropriate for him to translate the Samayabhedoparacanacakra again. At the very beginning of this Shiba bu lun, it cites the Chapter on Distinction from the Mañjuśrīparipṛcchā-sūtra, followed immediately by 'Compiled by Master Kumārajīva', after which the treatise itself begins. If it was translated by Kumārajīva, the Mañjuśrīparipṛcchā-sūtra did not yet exist during the Qin era, so it would be improper to cite it at the beginning. Alternatively, following the Detailed Catalogue where the Mañjuśrīparipṛcchā-sūtra is catalogued as translator lost, its citation during the Qin era would likewise raise no doubt. If it was re-translated by Paramārtha, the interlinear glosses within the treatise should not contain the phrase 'in the Qin language'. Examining its text and logic, it was mostly translated by Kumārajīva during the Qin, but omissions in various catalogues gave rise to doubts. Paramārtha's commentary on the Eighteen Schools is in fact the commentary on the Samayabhedoparacanacakra. Although this reasoning exists, I dare not pronounce it conclusively; I request later knowledgeable persons to ascertain the authentic record).
Buzhiyi lun (Samayabhedoparacanacakra), 1 fascicle (also named Bu yizhi lun).
Translated by the Chen Indian Tripiṭaka master Paramārtha. First translation.
Samayabhedoparacanacakra, 1 fascicle, composed by the Bodhisattva Vasumitra.
Translated by the Great Tang Tripiṭaka master Xuanzang; appears in the Fanjing tu. Third translation.
The three treatises above are different translations of the same text. The above six treatises total 13 fascicles in the same wrapper.
