Da guanding jing in twelve fascicles (sometimes without the word "Da"; the catalogue says nine fascicles, which is not yet clear; this Guanding comprises twelve works in total, which later people divided into separate fascicles, one per work; [Fei Chang]fang states it appears in the Miscellaneous Catalogue).
Da kongque wang shenzhou jing in one fascicle (recorded in Zhu Daozu's catalogue and Sengyou's catalogue; the first translation).
Kongque wang za shenzhou jing in one fascicle (recorded in Zhu Daozu's catalogue and Sengyou's catalogue; the third translation).
The three works in fourteen fascicles above (the first work in twelve fascicles is extant; the latter two works in two fascicles are missing texts).
Śramaṇa Śrīmitra, called Jizhi in the language of Jin, was a man of the Western Regions. The son of a king, he was due to inherit the lineage of rule, but he yielded the kingdom to his younger brother, covertly taking Taibo as his model. Having shortly thereafter awakened his mind through heavenly inspiration, he consequently became a śramaṇa. Mitra’s natural disposition was noble and lucid, and his demeanor transcended the ordinary. Merely facing him, one found him preeminent above all, let alone his keen discernment, eloquence, and comprehension of speech! During the Yongjia era of the Western Jin, he first arrived in this land; he then crossed to the region east of the Yangtze and stayed at Jianchu Monastery. Chancellor Wang Dao took a single look at him and marvelled at him, considering him one of his own kind. Because of this, his fame became illustrious. Taiwei Yu Yuangui, Guanglu Zhou Boren, Taichang Xie Youyu, and Tingwei Huan Maolun were all celebrated gentlemen of their era; they met with him all day long, praising him repeatedly, opening their hearts, and forging friendships. Wang Dao once paid a visit to Mitra; Mitra loosened his belt, reclined, and engaged in conversation with an intuitive understanding. At that time, Bian Wangzhi, Director of the Department of State Affairs, was also on good terms with Mitra. Shortly thereafter, Wangzhi arrived; Mitra then adjusted his lapels, straightened his demeanor, and sat upright to receive him. When someone asked the reason for this, Mitra said: "Lord Wang expects people to follow the way of free spirit, whereas Director Bian governs things by normative rules. That is why I do so." The various gentlemen thereupon marveled at his natural spirit being so free and unconstrained, each meeting with what was proper. Huan the Tingwei once wished to frame a character appraisal for Mitra, but for a long time could not find the words. Someone said: "Śrīmitra may truly be called lofty and bright." Huan then exclaimed in immense admiration, taking it to be the utmost appraisal. Generalissimo Wang Chuchong was in the southern regions. Hearing that the various gentlemen such as Wang and Zhou all held Mitra in high esteem, he suspected they were deficient in discernment. When he saw Mitra himself, he was thrilled and invigorated, rushing over and showing the utmost devotion on first meeting. Lord Wang once said to Mitra: "Foreign lands have only you alone, sir." Mitra smiled and replied: "If I were like you gentlemen, how could I be here today?" People at the time considered this an excellent retort. Mitra’s disposition was noble and simple; he did not learn the Jin language. Whenever he conversed with the gentlemen, though it was done through interpretation, his intuitive grasp and mental comprehension fully conveyed the meaning, appearing natural. His unfettered manner was not something ordinary sentiments could measure. Mitra was adept at holding incantations and arts, and wherever he turned, they were efficacious. People of the time called him Master of the High Seat. During the reign of Emperor Yuan, he translated three works of sūtras, including the Guanding. He also transmitted high-pitched Indic chanting to his disciple Mili, the resonance of which has been passed down to this day. Over eighty years of age, he died during the Xiankang era. When the gentlemen heard of it, they grieved and wept bitterly. Mitra had often practiced dhūta to the east of Shizigang; after his death, he was buried there accordingly. Emperor Cheng, cherishing his spirit, erected a stūpa at his burial place. Later, a śramaṇa from west of the Pass came traveling to Jiankang and thereupon founded a monastery at the burial site. Xie Hun of Chen Commandery assisted in completing this enterprise, commemorating the past; it was consequently named Gaozuo Monastery.
Achu fochai zhu pusa xue chengpin jing in two fascicles (translated in the Taikang era, the second translation; largely identical with minor differences from the translation by Lokakṣema of the Han; recorded in Zhu Daozu's Miscellaneous Catalogue of the Jin Era).
Fangdeng fahua jing in five fascicles.
The two works in seven fascicles above are both missing texts.
Śramaṇa Zhi Daogen, savoring the taste [of the Dharma] and traveling about, cherished the Way and benefited living beings. In the first year of the Xiankang era of Emperor Cheng, the yiwei year [335 CE], he translated two works of sūtras, including the Achu fochai (The catalogues of [Fei Chang]fang and others all say the Achu fo jing was translated in the Taikang era, which was during the reign of Emperor Wu of Western Jin; nearly sixty years separate it from Xiankang. For one person to have translated sūtras in two dynasties is likely a great error; this must be a clerical error in transmission, most likely being Xiankang).
