Demiéville lists and discusses texts ascribed to Kumārajīva by Sengyou, namely T201 T223 T227 T235 T245(!) T262 T366 T456 T475 T613 T614 T616 T617 T1435 T1509 T1564 T1568 T1569 T1646. This implies that the ascription of all other texts ascribed to Kumārajīva in the Taishō is less secure than those ascriptions, on at least this count. This entry lists all such texts (all "Kumārajīva" texts EXCEPT those listed by Demiéville/Sengyou). [NOTE: Demiéville's list is to be used with caution. For example, as Lin Xueni points out (personal communication), he omits the Kuśalamūlasaṃparigraha 華首經 T657, even though it is in fact listed by Sengyou, CSZJJ T2145 (LV) 10c21. I have therefore corrected, and do NOT include T657 in this list of possibly dubious ascriptions.] Entry author: Michael Radich |

According to Sakaino, CSZJJ ascribes 31 texts still extant today to Kumārajīva. Sakaino maintains that three of them should not be regarded as Kumārajīva’s independent works. This entry is associated with the remaining 28 titles, which Sakaino does regard as authentic translations by Kumārajīva. Entry author: Atsushi Iseki |

Kimura takes as his baseline for his examination of the Kumārajīva corpus the 24 texts that Fei Zhangfang, in LDSBJ, reports were ascribed to Kumārajīva in the Er Qin lu, supposedly by Sengrui. On this basis, Kimura argues that nine texts that were added to Sengrui’s list by Sengyou 僧祐 in CSZJJ: the Śūraṅgamasamādhi 首楞嚴經二卷 T642, a Pusa jing 菩提經一卷 (cf. Gayāśīrṣa T464), the Yi jiao jing 遺教經一卷 (??), the Shi’er yinyuan jing 十二因緣觀經一卷 (??), the Pusa he seyu 菩薩呵色欲一卷 T615, the Chan fa yao jie 禪法要解二卷 T616, the Za piyu jing 雜譬喻經一卷 T208, the Shi’er men lun 十二門論一卷 T1568, and the Chan fa yao 禪法要三卷 (cf. T616 again?). Kimura concludes that these nine texts must have been entries in error, or duplicate entries (誤載、重載). Entry author: Chia-wei Lin |

Lamotte discusses the only extant Chinese version of the Śūraṃgamasamādhi-sūtra, namely, the so-called “new” version, Xin shoulengyan sanmei jin, two juan 新首楞嚴三昧經二卷, i.e. T642, translated by Kumārajīva, either in Liangzhou 涼州 between 385 and 402 CE or in Chang’an 長安 between 402 and 409 CE: The oldest testimony to this extant version is supplied by a preface compiled by Shi Hungchung 釋弘充 in 458, preserved at T2145 (LV) 49c1-19, according to which T642 was translated between 385 and 402. T2145, however, alleged that Kumārajīva’s translation activity only began in Chang’an 長安 from 402 on. There is said to have been a commentary composed in 458 CE to this version of the text by Shi Hungchung 釋弘充 in Jiankang 健康 [充以管昧嘗廁玄肆。預遭先匠啟訓音軌。參聽儒緯髣髴文意。以皇宋大明二年歲次奄茂。於法言精舍略為注解, 49c16-18; Lamotte discusses this commentary, 97-98 – MR].
