5.22.8

Three works. The various catalogues all say late Jin, without knowing in the reign of which emperor.
*Sūtra on the Precepts of Kāśyapa* (Kāśyapa-śīla-sūtra), one fascicle (also titled *Mahābhikṣu-sūtra*, also titled *Sūtra on True and False Śramaṇas*; first translation, appears in the Shixing Catalogue).
The one work above, in one fascicle, lacks an extant text.
Translated by the śramaṇa Shi Tuigong. He translated one work, the *Sūtra on the Precepts of Kāśyapa*, said to be at the end of the Jin, but the year of which emperor is not clear.
*Sūtra on the Buddha's Explaining to the Brahmin Ambaṣṭha*, one fascicle (an alternate translation of the thirteenth fascicle of the *Dīrghāgama*, appears in the Zhao Catalogue).
The one work above, in one fascicle, lacks an extant text.
Translated by the śramaṇa Shi Fayong. He translated one work, the *Sūtra on the Brahmin Ambaṣṭha*, said to have been produced at the end of the Jin; the year of which emperor is likewise not clear.
*Nāgasena-bhikṣu-sūtra*, two fascicles (or called *Nāgasena-sūtra*, or in three fascicles; first translation, appears in Sengyou's catalogue of lost translators, categorized under Sage and Saint Anthologies, extant).
*Dhāraṇī-padākāra-sūtra*, one fascicle (Sengyou lacks the character *zhang* [padā-]; appears in Sengyou's catalogue of lost translators; third translation, same text as the *Dhāraṇī-mantra-sūtra*, Mahāyāna sūtra, text lacking).
The two works above, in three fascicles. In Changfang's and other catalogues, there are in total fifty-three works in fifty-seven fascicles listed as anonymous translations of the Eastern Jin. Now, removing the two works in three fascicles [just mentioned], the remaining fifty-one works in fifty-four fascicles were all erroneously added by Changfang's catalogue, or had already been recorded in the catalogue of anonymous translations of the Later Han, or have known translators, or are extracts, and so forth, as listed in detail to the right:
