Mei begins with the 76 texts ascribed to Dharmarakṣa in the present Taishō which also appear in Sengyou. She then eliminates eight for the following reasons: five are listed as lost by Sengyou's time (T182, T288, T496, T558, T1301); T1301, moreover, contains details that makes it appear as if it may have been composed in China; T103 and T453 have been regarded as dubious by modern scholars (Gao Mingdao and Yinshun); and Sengyou's description of the 佛為菩薩五夢經 that he ascribes to Dharmarakṣa does not match T310(4). This leaves 68 texts Mei thinks can reliably be matched against Sengyou. This entry lists those 68 texts. [Note: Mei erroneously gives the number T627 for what is properly T636---MR.] Entry author: Michael Radich |

Mei reports that the canon contains two supposed versions of the 須摩提菩薩經 (T334, T335), one ascribed to Dharmarakṣa, and one to Kumārajīva. However, the two resemble one another too closely to be the work of separate translators, and are separated only by variants introduced in scribal transmission. Mei prefers the ascription to Dharmarakṣa for both. Entry author: Michael Radich |

In the appendix to his dissertation Boucher provides a list of ninety-five texts attributed to Dharmarakṣa by Sengyou in his Chu sanzang ji ji 出三藏記集 T2145, along with a note on relevant scholarship. Among these texts is the Xumo jing 須摩經 Sumatidārikāparipṛcchā-sūtra T334. He adds that some catalogues refer to the text as Xumoti pusa jing 須摩提菩薩經. Boucher considers 須摩提菩薩經 T335 to be a “mere reworking” of T334. Entry author: Sophie Florence |

Kanakura argues that 須摩提菩薩經 T334 and 須摩提菩薩經 T335 are virtually identical, and demonstrates this close relationship by giving a parallel table of both texts in full, highlighting the few differences (236-248). Kanakura further asserts (without giving details) that terminology and phraseology leave no room for doubt about the ascription to Dharmarakṣa (for T334), but render the ascription of T335 to Kumārajīva highly suspicious. However, Kanakura also shows that there is an exception to the above relationship of virtual identity between the two texts. A portion of T335, approximately 800 characters in length, is not found in T334 [T335 (XII) 80c15-81b7]. Kanakura argues that this portion appears to be an interpolation into T335, as it does not fit naturally into its context. A new interlocutor appears partway through this passage, a Brahmin girl named 首意, and at the same time the topic shifts from illusion to turning the wheel of the Dharma (234-235); other content in this passage, which appears extraneous to the remainder of T335, is the appearance of Ānanda and the declaration that he has been awakened with respect to seven subtle dharmas 七秒法.
