Faling mentions disputes about the authorship of five extant texts traditionally attributed to Daoxuan: the Sifen shanding biqiuni jieben/Sifen Lü Bhikṣunī Prātimokṣa (X722), Sifen lü biqiuni chao (X724), the Jing xin jie guan fa (T1893), the Jiaojie xinxue biqiu xinghu lüyi (T1897), and the Xu Da Tang neidian lu (T2150).

Of these the five works, Faling suggests that X722 “was probably written by Daoxuan,” since in the Sifen lü hanzhu jieben shu (“Commentary on the Annotated Prātimokṣa of Sifen Lü”) Daoxuan claims to have written a single-scroll text which “almost certainly” corresponds to X722. Some doubts remain over the authorship of the other four texts, but Faling notes that the name Daoxuan appears in the colophons of texts X724, T1893 and T1897, “so it seems highly likely that he wrote them.”
