23.8.1

Dīrghāgama-sūtra, 22 fascicles, in 2 cases.
Translated jointly by the Later Qin Tripiṭaka master Buddhayaśas from Kashmīr and Zhu Fonian; combined single and multiple translations.
The above work contains in all four sections, totaling thirty sūtras (Sengzhao's preface states: "The Dīrghāgama has four sections and four recitations, combining thirty sūtras to form a single work").
Madhyamāgama-sūtra, 60 fascicles (or 58 fascicles, in 6 cases).
Translated by Gautama Saṅghadeva, Tripiṭaka master from Kashmīr under the Eastern Jin; second translation (of two translations, one is lost).
The above work contains in all five recitations, eighteen chapters in total, comprising 222 distinct sūtras (Sengzhao's preface to the Dīrghāgama states: "The Madhyamāgama has four sections and five recitations").
Ekottarikāgama-sūtra, 51 fascicles (or 50 fascicles, or 40 fascicles, or 32 fascicles, in 5 cases).
Translated by Gautama Saṅghadeva, Tripiṭaka master from Kashmīr under the Eastern Jin; second translation (of two translations, one is lost).
The above work contains in all fifty chapters, totaling 472 distinct sūtras (Sengzhao's preface to the Dīrghāgama states: "The Ekottarikāgama has four sections and eight recitations").
Saṃyuktāgama-sūtra, 50 fascicles (in 5 cases).
Translated by the Song Indian Tripiṭaka master Guṇabhadra; combined single and multiple translations.
As this work expounds matters that are miscellaneous, it lacks divisions such as sequence of chapters or recitations (Sengzhao's preface to the Dīrghāgama states: "The Saṃyuktāgama has four sections and ten recitations").
Separate Translation of the Saṃyuktāgama-sūtra, 20 fascicles (in 2 cases; translator lost; the sub-notes in the sūtra contain the words "in the language of Qin"; although the translator's name is not precisely known, it must have been translated during the Three Qin period, and is now attached to the Qin catalogue).
The above work, although its text is out of sequence compared with the preceding sūtra, when carefully examined does not depart from the preceding sūtra. As it merely extracts essentials, it is treated as a separate work (from the Fo ban nihuan jing downward, the various sūtras are all separate sūtras and variant translations from among the four Āgamas).
Fo ban nihuan jing (Sūtra on the Buddha's Parinirvāṇa), 2 fascicles (or simply called Nihuan jing).
Translated by the śramaṇa Bo Fazu of Henai under the Western Jin.
Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra, 3 fascicles (or 2 fascicles).
Translated by the śramaṇa Shi Faxian of Pingyang under the Eastern Jin; now attributed to Faxian as translator (as set forth in the General Catalogue).
Ban nihuan jing (Parinirvāṇa-sūtra), 2 fascicles (or without the character ban).
Newly classified as an anonymous translation; attached to the Eastern Jin catalogue.
The above three sūtras are drawn from fascicles two through four of the Dīrghāgama-sūtra, and are variant translations of the same original as the Youxing jing in the first section. (Various catalogues all state that this Ban nihuan jing was translated by Guṇabhadra of the Song dynasty, which is incorrect. When one examines its phrases, most are archaic translations, entirely dissimilar from Guṇabhadra's renderings. Among the various canons there is only the upper fascicle and not the lower fascicle. Now, having lost its source, it is compiled into the Jin catalogue. There are also editions of the sūtra in which the text of the upper fascicle of the Fo ban nihuan jing is entirely identical to the text of the upper fascicle of the Ban nihuan jing; this is a textual error).
Ren ben yu sheng jing (Sūtra on the Root of Human Desires and Birth), 1 fascicle.
Translated by the Parthian Tripiṭaka master An Shigao under the Later Han.
The above is drawn from the tenth fascicle of the Dīrghāgama-sūtra, and is a variant translation of the same original as the Da fangbian jing in the second section (That earlier catalogues all compiled this Ren ben yu sheng jing under Mahāyāna sūtras is an error).
Shijialuoyue liu xiang bai jing (Sūtra on Sigāla's Bowing to the Six Directions), 1 fascicle (or called Shijialuoyue liufang li jing).
Translated by the Parthian Tripiṭaka master An Shigao under the Later Han.
The above is drawn from the eleventh fascicle of the Dīrghāgama-sūtra, and is a variant translation of the same original as the Shansheng jing in the second section (compared to the root sūtra, this is somewhat more abridged; this sūtra also appears in fascicle 33 of the Madhyamāgama).
Fanzhi aba jing (Sūtra on the Brahmin Ambāṣṭha), 1 fascicle (one edition has the words Fo men jie; also titled Aba mona jing).
Translated by the Yuezhi upāsaka Zhi Qian under the Wu.
The above is drawn from the thirteenth fascicle of the Dīrghāgama-sūtra, and is a variant translation of the same original as the Amozhou jing in the third section.
Fanwang liushier jian jing (Sūtra on the Net of Brahma's Sixty-Two Views), 1 fascicle (also titled Fanwang jing).
Translated by the Yuezhi upāsaka Zhi Qian under the Wu.
The above is drawn from the fourteenth fascicle of the Dīrghāgama-sūtra, and is a variant translation of the same original as the Fandong jing in the third section.
Jizhi guo jing (Sūtra on the Fruit of Tranquil Intent), 1 fascicle.
Translated by the Western Region śramaṇa Zhu Tanwulan under the Eastern Jin.
The above is drawn from the seventeenth fascicle of the Dīrghāgama-sūtra, and is a variant translation of the same original as the Shamen guo jing in the third section.
The above eight sūtras, in 12 fascicles, share a single case.
Qishi jing (Sūtra on the Arising of the World), 10 fascicles (in 1 case).
Translated by the Indian Tripiṭaka master Jñānagupta and others under the Sui; appears on the title head of the sūtra; fifth translation.
Qishi yinben jing (Sūtra on the Causal Root of the Arising of the World), 10 fascicles (fearing confusion with the preceding text, below the title it is separately called Qishi yinben jing; in 1 case).
Translated by the Indian Tripiṭaka master Dharmagupta under the Sui; appears in the Neidian lu; sixth translation; incorporated as a supplement.
(Note respectfully: The Tang Neidian lu and Jingmai's Jingtu both state that the Tripiṭaka master Dharmagupta translated the Qishi jing in ten fascicles during the Daye era at the Scripture Translation Hall in Shanglin Park in the Eastern Capital. Now, inspecting various canons, there are in fact two editions. Although the general purport is the same, the phrasing is slightly different, and there are occasional divergences regarding chapter headings. The beginning of the earlier sūtra says: "The Bhagavat was in the city of Shepoti." The latter sūtra says: "The Bhagavat was in the city of Sheluopoxidi." If based on the Sanskrit language, the latter sūtra is correct. It is now considered that Jñānagupta and Dharmagupta each translated one edition. Moreover, the head title of the earlier sūtra states that the two masters Jñānagupta and Dharmagupta produced it together. We now take the former to have been translated by Jñānagupta, and the latter to be a retranslation by Dharmagupta. Since the texts of the two sūtras differ, both works are now preserved. Thus, the Yuansheng jing also says "The Bhagavat was in the city of Sheluopoxidi"; from this we know that it was likewise translated by Dharmagupta. Fearing that the two texts might be confused, "Yinben" was separately added beneath the title).
Loutan jing (Lokasthāna-sūtra), 6 fascicles (or called Da loutan jing; or in 5 fascicles, or 8 fascicles).
Translated jointly by the Western Jin śramaṇas Shi Fali and Faju; second translation.
The above three sūtras are drawn from fascicles eighteen through twenty of the Dīrghāgama-sūtra, and are variant translations of the same original as the Jishi jing in the fourth section.
Dīrghāgama Daśadharmaka-sūtra, 2 fascicles (also titled Duosengdao jing, or simply Shibao jing).
Translated by the Parthian Tripiṭaka master An Shigao under the Later Han.
The above is drawn from the ninth fascicle of the Dīrghāgama-sūtra, and is a variant translation of the same original as the Shishang jing in the second section (differing slightly in extent).
Zhong benqi jing (Middle Sūtra on the Origin [of the Buddha's Deeds]), 2 fascicles (or called Taizi zhongqi jing; the initial title states: "Drawn from the Dīrghāgama").
Translated jointly by the Western Region śramaṇa Tan-guo and Kang Mengxiang under the Later Han; the above two sūtras, in 10 fascicles, share a single case. (As for the Zhong benqi jing, its title states that it is "drawn from the Dīrghāgama"; upon inspecting the large text, this single sūtra is absent. It is perhaps that the Sanskrit text was not completely translated. Since it says it was drawn from there, it is provisionally compiled at the end. The Great Zhou Catalogue states that it is a variant translation of the same original as the Guoqu xianzai yinguo jing, the Xiuxing benqi jing, and the Ruiying benqi jing, which is mistaken. Furthermore, various catalogues all state that this Zhong benqi jing was translated in the Later Han dynasty, yet within the sūtra text where Sanskrit terms are translated it says "in Jin"; it is not yet clear why).
