Akṣayamati-bodhisattva-sūtra, four fascicles (First translation; identical text with the translations of Akṣayamati and the Akṣayamatiparipṛcchā by Dharmarakṣa of the Western Jin; found in the Wu and Bie catalogues).

Dharmapada, two fascicles (First translation; also called the Dharmapada Collection; composed by the Venerable Dharmatrāta; produced jointly with Luyan and Zhi Qian; Zhi Qian wrote the preface; found in Sengyou's catalogue; the Wu catalogue says five fascicles, which is uncertain).

The above two works in six fascicles. The Dharmapada in two fascicles is extant. The Akṣayamati in four fascicles is missing.

Śramaṇa Vighna. In the Wu dialect, it is rendered "obstacle". Originally a man of India, his family had for generations adhered to heterodox ways, considering fire worship to be supreme. At that time, an Indian śramaṇa who studied the Hīnayāna and extensively practiced mystical arts, having travelled far as dusk approached, wished to lodge at Vighna's house. Adhering to heterodox ways and suspicious of the sons of the Śākya, [Vighna] made him stay in the open ground outside the gate for the night. During the night, the śramaṇa secretly applied mantra arts, causing the fire worshipped by Vighna's family to suddenly be extinguished. Thereupon, the whole family went outside together and invited the śramaṇa to enter the room to receive offerings. The śramaṇa in turn used mantra arts to rekindle the fire. After Vighna saw that the śramaṇa's supernatural powers surpassed his own, he gave rise to great faith and joy in the Buddha-Dharma. He then abandoned his former practices and left home to follow the Way. Relying on this śramaṇa as his upādhyāya, he received and studied the Tripiṭaka and became exquisitely proficient in the four Āgamas. Travelling to teach in various countries, all revered him without exception. Together with his companion Zhu Luyan, he set out from the Western Regions and arrived in Jiangyou. In the third year of Huangwu (jiachen) under Sun Quan, he produced two sūtras, including the Akṣayamati, together with Luyan in Wuchang Commandery. However, since neither Vighna nor Yan was yet skilled in the local dialect, when translating the Sanskrit there was much that was not fully conveyed. Their intent remained faithful to the underlying meaning, while the wording was close to plain and unadorned.

Mātaṅgī-sūtra, three fascicles (Found in Fashang's catalogue; produced jointly with Zhi Qian; identical text with the Śārdūlakarṇāvadāna and others; also in two fascicles; fourth translation).

Samāvatī-sūtra, one fascicle (First translation; found in the Shixing catalogue; identical text, different translation from the Fen nu tan wang jing; also titled Xumoti nü jing, Nan guo wang, and Shuhetan wang jing; produced jointly with Zhi Yue; not a complete work, extracted from a major scripture).

Brahmacārin-sūtra, one fascicle (Found in the Shixing catalogue).

The above four works in six fascicles (the first three works in five fascicles are extant; the latter one work in one fascicle is missing).

Śramaṇa Zhu Luyan was a man of Central India. In understanding and practice he was pure and rigorous, broadly conversant in both internal and external texts. He travelled to the Wu territory together with Vighna. After Vighna's death, in the second year of Huanglong (gengxu) under Sun Quan, he translated four works, including the Mātaṅgī-sūtra, in Yangdu. His name differs among various catalogues: some say Jiangyan, some say Chiyan, and some say Luyan; it is not yet clear which is correct, so all are recorded here.
