24.8.3
The above, including the root chapter, comprise five translations in all: four are extant in the canon, and one is missing. (Since the old Avataṃsaka-sūtra was translated by Buddhabhadra, this Benye jing should not be listed separately; but because the Great Zhou Catalogue entered it into the canon and no copy of it had yet been seen, it is recorded here for now. Furthermore, Fei Changfang's catalogue re-lists Zhi Qian as having translated the 'Purifying Practices' chapter; this is an error. The note to that Jingxing jing says: 'Also called the Pusa benye jing.')
Pusa shifazhu jing (This is the 'Ten Abodes' chapter)
Translated by Nie Daozhen, pure-faith layman of the Western Jin. Second translation.
The above, including the root chapter, comprise five translations in all: four are extant in the canon, and one is missing. (Fei Changfang and other catalogues additionally list a one-scroll Pusa shizhu jing, claiming it was translated by Buddhabhadra of the Eastern Jin. However, examining this, since Buddhabhadra had already translated the large root text, he would not have produced this separate sutra; Changfang's catalogue is mistaken.)
Shizhu jing, 12 scrolls (This is the 'Ten Grounds' chapter)
Translated by Nie Daozhen, pure-faith layman of the Western Jin. Third translation.
The above, including the root chapter, comprise five translations in all: four are extant in the canon, and one is missing.
Luomojia jing, 3 scrolls (This is a small portion of the 'Entering the Dharma Realm' chapter)
Translated by An Xian, Tripiṭaka master of the Western Regions under the Cao Wei. First translation.
Luomojia jing, 1 scroll
Translated by Dharmakṣema, Tripiṭaka master from India under the Northern Liang. Fourth translation.
The above, including the root chapter, comprise five translations in all: three are extant in the canon, and two are missing.
From the Ru Rulai zhi busiyiyi jing downward, there are 12 works in 17 scrolls missing from the Avataṃsaka section.
Fan banniehuan jing, 2 scrolls (Older catalogues read 'Hu'; this is now changed to the character 'Fan'; or in 1 scroll)
Translated by Lokakṣema, Yuezhi Tripiṭaka master of the Later Han. First translation.
Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra, 2 scrolls
Abridged from the earlier chapters into 3 scrolls by An Faxian, foreign Tripiṭaka master of the Cao Wei. First translation.
Da banniwan jing, 2 scrolls
Translated in Liangzhou by Zhimeng, śramaṇa of Yongzhou under the Northern Liang. Sixth translation.
Banniehuan jing, 20 scrolls
The 'Introductory Chapter' and 'Lamentation Chapter' translated as 2 scrolls by Zhi Qian, upāsaka of Wu. Second translation.
The above, including the large root text of the Nirvāṇa[-sūtra] and the newly translated latter portion, comprise seven translations in all: three are extant in the canon, and four are missing. (Furthermore, the Great Zhou Catalogue cites Zhu Daozu's catalogue as stating that in the twelfth year of the Yixi era of the Eastern Jin, Buddhabhadra translated one scroll—or said to be ten scrolls—of the Da banniwan at Daochang Monastery, which was the ten scrolls of the first portion of the large root text up to the 'Questioning by the Great Assembly' chapter. Now, examining various catalogues and historical records, Faxian's translation of the Da banniwan was also made at Daochang Monastery in the thirteenth year of the Yixi era. The various sūtras produced by Faxian were all translated jointly with Buddhabhadra; the titles and notes in various catalogues frequently conflate them. Since the time and place were the same, it certainly was not produced twice. Therefore, they are combined into one here, and not preserved separately.)
From the Fan banniehuan jing downward, there are 4 works in 26 scrolls missing from the Nirvāṇa section.
Shu Puyap jing, 8 scrolls (Translator lost; appears to have been translated in the region of Shu; the first translation is in the Wei and Wu catalogues)
Puyap jing, 8 scrolls (Also in 6 scrolls or 4 scrolls)
Translated by the Song śramaṇas Zhiyan and Baoyun. Third translation.
The above two sūtras share the same Indic text as the Lalitavistara (Fangguang zhuangyan jing); there are four translations in all: two are extant, and two are missing.
Wuliangyi jing, 1 scroll
Translated by Guṇabhadra, Tripiṭaka master from India under the Song. First translation.
The above sūtra has two translations in all: one is extant, and one is missing.
Fahua sanmei jing, 6 scrolls (One version adds the character 'Zheng')
Translated by Zhi Jiangliangjie, foreign Tripiṭaka master of Wu.
Recorded in the Fanyi tu. First translation.
Sayun fenduoli jing, 6 scrolls
Translated by Zhu Fahu, Tripiṭaka master of the Western Jin, in the Taishi era. Second translation. (Carefully examining Changfang and other catalogues, the Zheng Fahua was translated by Zhu Fahu in the seventh year of the Taikang era, as seen in Nie Daozhen's catalogue. It is further stated that in the first year of the Taishi era he translated the Sayun fenduoli jing in 6 scrolls, cited from Zhu Daozu's catalogue. Being the same sūtra, it should not have been produced twice. Since the titles are different and both were later preserved, the reason remains unclear; or perhaps 'Sayun fenduoli' is Sanskrit (saddharmapuṇḍarīka) and 'Zheng Fahua' is the Jin translation, and because both the Sanskrit and the Jin names were preserved, cataloguers made an error.)
Fangdeng Fahua jing, 5 scrolls
Translated by the Eastern Jin śramaṇa Zhi Daogen. Fourth translation.
The above three sūtras share the same Indic text; together with the supplemented chapter edition, there are six translations in all: three are extant, and three are missing.
Fo yi sanche huan jing, 1 scroll
Translated by Zhi Qian, Yuezhi upāsaka of Wu.
The above single sūtra is an alternate translation of an extract from the Lotus Sūtra; it should correspond to the 'Simile Chapter'.
Gu Weimojie jing, 2 scrolls
Translated by Yan Fodiao, śramaṇa of Linhuai under the Later Han. First translation.
Yi Weimolajie jing, 3 scrolls (Sengyou gives 'Yi Weimojie jing'; some write 'Si'; or in 2 scrolls)
Translated by Zhu Shulan, upāsaka of the Western Regions under the Western Jin. Third translation.
Weimojie suoshuo famen jing, 1 scroll (Or called Weimojie jing)
Translated by Zhu Fahu, Tripiṭaka master of the Western Jin. Fourth translation.
(Carefully examining Sengyou's catalogue, there is another Weimojie jing in 1 scroll, also said to have been translated by Zhu Fahu, with a note below stating: 'Sengyou believes that the earlier translation of the Vimalakīrti was cumbersome, so Fahu abridged it and extracted the omitted verses.' The present view is that this does not differ from the former text, so it is not listed separately. Furthermore, the Zhou Catalogue contains another Weimolajie jing in 2 scrolls, said to have been translated by Zhi Qian in the Huangwu era of Wu, cited from Changfang's catalogue. However, upon checking Changfang's catalogue, this title does not exist; the Zhou Catalogue is mistaken.)
Weimojie jing, 4 scrolls
Translated by Gidimiti, Tripiṭaka master of the Western Regions under the Eastern Jin. Fifth translation.
The above four sūtras share the same Indic text; there are seven translations in all: three are extant, and four are missing. (The Western Jin śramaṇa Zhi Mindu combined the three versions by Zhi [Qian] and the two Zhus [Zhu Shulan and Zhu Fahu] into a total of five scrolls; because this was not an independent translation and the text itself is missing, it is not included here.)

The above sūtra has four translations in all: three are extant, and one is missing.
