Daśādhyāya-bhikṣu-prātimokṣa, one fascicle (also called the Daśādhyāya Mahā-bhikṣu Prātimokṣa; first translation; see Sengyou's catalogue).
Bhikṣuṇī Mahā-prātimokṣa, one fascicle (also called the Daśādhyāya-bhikṣuṇī-prātimokṣa; second translation; see Sengyou's catalogue).
Platform Liturgy for Instructing Bhikṣuṇīs for Two Years, one fascicle (sometimes without the character 'nī' [Bhikṣuṇī]; Sengchun obtained the Indic text from the country of Kucha; Zhu Fonian translated the words and Huichang transcribed them; see Baochang's catalogue).
The above three works in three fascicles are all missing their texts.
Śramaṇa Dharmadhara (曇摩持), also called 侍, translated as Fahui (法慧) or Fahai (法海) in the language of Qin.
A native of the Western Regions. He was skilled in upholding the Vinaya Piṭaka and in compiling extracts into sūtras. In the fourth year dingmao [and fifth year] wuchen of the Jianyuan era of Fu Jian (posthumously titled Heavenly King Zhuanglie), he translated three works, including the Daśādhyāya-prātimokṣa, in Chang'an. Zhu Fonian conveyed the words, and Huichang recorded them in writing. (Master Dao'an's Preface to the Monastic Precepts states: "Fonian wrote out its Indic text, Daoxian translated it, and Huichang transcribed it." Regarding its Bhikṣuṇī Precepts, Sengyou's catalogue states: "In the time of Emperor Jianwen of the Jin dynasty, the śramaṇa Sengchun obtained the Indic text in the country of Kucha in the Western Regions. When he arrived in Guanzhong, he asked Fonian, Dharmadhara, and Huichang to translate it together." Examining the catalogues of Fei Zhangfang and others, they all take Huichang as the principal translator. Now, [Huichang] was a co-translator along with Dharmadhara and Zhu Fonian. Considering that the Qin monk Huichang never traveled to India, although Chang participated in producing the Bhikṣuṇī Precepts, the holder of the text was Dharmadhara, and Fonian translated it; Chang acted as scribe—how is this any different from his work on the Bhikṣu Precepts? This simply cited and highlighted Huichang; when examining the origins and developments, the matter becomes clear: Chang assisted in the translation, while Dharmadhara was the principal, so it is entered under Dharmadhara's catalogue, and Huichang is not listed separately).
Four Āgamas Evening Extracts and Commentary, two fascicles (also called Four Āgamas Evening Extracts Sūtra; Master Dao'an composed the preface; see Sengyou's catalogue).
The above one work in two fascicles is currently extant.
Śramaṇa Kumārabodhi, translated as Tongjue (童覺) in the language of Qin. A native of the Western Regions. In the eighth month of the eighteenth year of Jianyuan, renwu, under Fu Jian, he translated one work, the Evening Extracts of the Āgamas, at the Ye Monastery, finishing in the eleventh month of winter. Kumārabodhi held the Indic text, and Fonian and Fohu translated it into Qin text. The śramaṇas Sengdao, Sengrui, and Tanjui transcribed it.
Treatise Compiled by the Venerable Vasumitra Bodhisattva, ten fascicles (also called Vasumitra Sūtra; or twelve fascicles, or fourteen fascicles; produced from the fifth day of the third month of the twentieth year of Jianyuan to completion on the thirteenth day of the seventh month; Sanghabhadra, Dharmanandin, and Saṅghadeva held the texts, Fonian translated, and Huichong transcribed; Master Dao'an composed the preface; see Sengyou's catalogue).
Vibhāṣā-śāstra, fourteen fascicles (sometimes without the character 'śāstra'; also called Vibhāṣā Abhidharma; also called Detailed Explanation; or fifteen fascicles, or nineteen fascicles; produced from the fourth month of the nineteenth year of Jianyuan to completion at the end of the eighth month; Dharmanandin recorded the Indic text, Buddharakṣa translated, and Minzhi transcribed; Master Dao'an composed the preface; see Sengyou's catalogue).
Sūtra Compiled by Saṅgharakṣa, three fascicles (also called Compilation of Saṅgharakṣa; first translation; or five fascicles; produced in the twentieth year of Jianyuan and completed on the twentieth day of the eleventh month; Fonian translated, Huichong transcribed, and Master Dao'an composed the preface; see Sengyou's catalogue; produced at the Shiyang Monastery in Chang'an; also said to have been translated by Fohu).
The above three works in twenty-seven fascicles are all extant. Śramaṇa Saṅghabhadra (僧伽跋澄), also written 跋橙, translated as Zhongxian (眾現) in the language of Qin. A native of the country of Kashmīr. Resolute and possessing profound and refined capacity, he visited renowned teachers far and wide and practiced with subtle attainment. He read extensively among the scriptures and was especially adept at the numerical treatises [Abhidharma]. He recited the Vibhāṣā from memory, mastering its subtle meanings (this Vibhāṣā is the Pi-po-sha, not the Mahāvibhāṣā). He had always set his aspiration on wandering abroad to observe customs and propagate the teaching. In the final years of Fu Jian's Jianyuan era, he came to Guanzhong. Prior to this, the Mahāyāna had not yet widely flourished, while the study of dhyāna and numbers [Abhidharma] was extremely prosperous. Once he arrived in Chang'an, all praised him as an architect of the Dharma. Zhao Wenye, Assistant Editorial Director of the Palace Library under Fu Jian, was learned, talented, and venerated the great Dharma. Having heard that foreign countries revered and practiced the Vibhāṣā and that Saṅghabhadra could recite it from memory, he provided the four requisites of offerings and requested him to translate the Indic text. From the seventeenth year of Jianyuan, xinsi, to the twenty-first year, yiyou, Saṅghabhadra, together with Master Shi Dao'an of illustrious virtue and others, translated two works, including the Vasumitra. Zhu Fonian, a śramaṇa of Liangzhou, and Buddharakṣa, a foreign śramaṇa, conveyed the words. The śramaṇas Minzhi and Huisong, along with赵 Zhao Wenye, Assistant Editorial Director of the Palace Library, transcribed them. Master Dao'an and Fahe collated and settled the text together. Saṅghabhadra's preceptual virtue was rigorous, and he was serene and detached from the mundane world. The monastic community of Guanzhong modeled themselves upon him. Where he ended his days is unknown. As for Buddharakṣa, it is not known from which country he hailed. His virtuous practice was pure and he had read extensively among the scriptures. Having traveled long in the central lands, he was well-versed in the Qin language. His translating of Indic texts was praised in his time. (The various catalogues of Sengyou and others all say the Vibhāṣā-śāstra was translated by Saṅghadeva. Now, following Master Dao'an's preface to the treatise, it states that Saṅghabhadra translated it; we now follow the preface to the treatise as standard. The various catalogues of Sengyou and others further state that Saṅghabhadra translated the Miscellaneous Abhidharma Vibhāṣā-śāstra in fourteen fascicles, which is indeed this Vibhāṣā-śāstra).
Mahāprajñāpāramitā Extracts Sūtra, five fascicles (sometimes without the character 'extracts'; or seven fascicles; also called Banluoruuo; also named Subhūti Chapter; also named Chang'an; sixth translation; same text as the Daoxing, Xiaopin, Mingdu, etc.; see Sengrui's Catalogue of the Two Qins and Sengyou's catalogue).
The above one work in five fascicles is currently extant.
Śramaṇa Dharmapriya (曇摩蜱), translated as Fashou (法受) in the language of Qin. A native of India. Endowed with a luminous, keen mind, his aspiration was set on broad instruction. In the eighteenth year of Jianyuan, renwu, under Fu Jian, he translated one work, the Extracts of the Prajñā Sūtra. Fohu conveyed the translation (Fohu is Buddharakṣa), Huijin transcribed it, and Master Dao'an collated it and composed a preface. As for the tradition that it is the same text as the Dapin, Fangguang, and Guangzan, it is feared that this was asserted without careful investigation.
Abhidharma-aṣṭagrantha-śāstra, thirty fascicles (sometimes without the character 'śāstra'; or twenty fascicles; or called Kātyāyana-abhidharma; or called Abhidharma-sūtra Aṣṭagrantha; first translation; same text as the Jñānaprasthāna translated under the Tang; produced from the twentieth day of the fourth month of the nineteenth year of Jianyuan to completion on the twenty-third day of the tenth month; see Sengyou's catalogue).
Abhidharmahṛdaya, sixteen fascicles (first translation; or thirteen fascicles; produced at Luoyang in the final years of Jianyuan; see Sengrui's Catalogue of the Two Qins and Sengyou's catalogue).
The above two works in forty-six fascicles (the former work in thirty fascicles is extant; the latter work in sixteen fascicles is missing its text).
Śramaṇa Saṅghadeva (also written Tihe, or Sengyou Dipo, which are probably dialectal variations of pronunciation), translated as Zhongtian (眾天) in the language of Qin. A native of the country of Kashmīr, of the Gautama clan. In the nineteenth year of Jianyuan, guihai, under Fu Jian, he traveled to Chang'an. The śramaṇa Fahe invited him to translate. Beginning in the nineteenth year and concluding at the end of the Jianyuan era, he produced two treatises, including the Aṣṭagrantha (as for the Vibhāṣā in fourteen fascicles, following Dao'an's preface it was translated by Saṅghabhadra, so it is removed here).
Zhu Fonian, a śramaṇa of Liangzhou, translated it; Huili and Sengmao transcribed it; Fahe organized its intended purpose; and Master Dao'an composed the preface. Later, in the sixteenth year of Taiyuan under Emperor Xiaowu of the Jin, he traveled to Mount Lu and went to Jiankang, where he produced further sūtras and śāstras, as fully recorded in the Jin catalogue.
Madhyama-āgama, fifty-nine fascicles (produced in the twentieth year of Jianyuan; this is the first translation; Zhu Fonian transcribed it; see Zhu Daozu's Miscellaneous Catalogue of the Jin Era and Sengyou's catalogue).
Ekottarika-āgama, fifty fascicles (first translation; produced from the summer of the twentieth year of Jianyuan, jiashen, to completion the following spring, making forty-one fascicles; Fonian translated and Tan song transcribed; see Master Dao'an's preface to the sūtra; recorded in the catalogues of Sengrui, Sengyou, and Baochang; Sengyou's statement of thirty-three and twenty-four fascicles is probably an error).
Tridharmakā-śāstra, two fascicles (first translation; also called Tridharmakā without the character 'śāstra'; slightly different from the version translated by Saṅghadeva during the Jin; see Fei Zhangfang's catalogue).
Compilation of Saṅgharakṣa, two fascicles (composed by Saṅgharakṣa seven hundred years after the Buddha's passing; first translation; see Baochang's catalogue).
Sūtra on the Causes and Conditions of King Aśoka's Son Blinding His Eyes, one fascicle (third translation; produced at the city of Anding on the eighteenth day of the second month and completed on the twenty-fifth day, in the sixth year of Jianchu, xinmao, of the Yao Qin, for the Prefect of the Masters of Writing Yao Min; Fonian translated and composed a preface; see the Qin catalogue; this should belong to the Later Qin, but is appended here following the majority).
The above five works in one hundred and fourteen fascicles (the first four works in one hundred and thirteen fascicles are missing their texts; the last work in one fascicle is currently extant).
Śramaṇa Dharmanandin, translated as Faxi (法喜) in the language of Qin. A native of the country of Tukhāra. In his youth he left secular life; his intelligence was early developed. Studying and chanting the scriptures, he applied himself single-mindedly to his vocation. He perused the Tripiṭaka and recited the Madhyama- and Ekottarika-āgamas from memory. Vastly learned and knowledgeable, there was nothing he had not mastered. For this reason, within his country and beyond, all paid homage to him. From an early age he surveyed the regions and traveled through various countries. He often said that the purpose of propagating the Dharma is to proclaim it to those who seek to hear it. Therefore, braving the shifting sands from afar, carrying the treasure [of the Dharma], he journeyed eastward. In the twentieth year of Fu Jian's Jianyuan era, he arrived in Chang'an. Dharmanandin's learning was superior and his reputation for virtue was renowned. Fu Jian received him with deep courtesy and provided lavish offerings. Prior to this, among the scriptures in the central lands there were not yet the four Āgamas. Fu Jian's court attendant, Zhao Zheng, the Grand Administrator of Wuwei, whose aspiration was profoundly set on the Dharma treasury, thereupon jointly invited him with Master Dao'an to translate the sūtras. In the city of Chang'an, Zheng assembled scholar monks, had the Indic texts of the two Āgamas written out, and also commenced their translation. Fonian conveyed the words and Huisong transcribed them. From the twentieth year of Jianyuan, jiashen, under Fu Jian, to the sixth year of Jianchu, xinmao, under Yao Chang, Dharmanandin translated five sūtras, including the Madhyama-āgama. Dharmanandin later returned to the Western Regions, and where he ended his days is unknown.
