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 |

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 Wuji bao jing 無極寶經 T636, which Sengyou dated April 23, 307 (date only included in Song, Ming, and Yuan editions). He adds that the text is recorded in the Bielu, but was omitted by Dao’an. The text is alternately known as Wuji bao sanmei jing 無極寶三昧經. Entry author: Sophie Florence |

Kawano notes that in the list of works ascribed to Dharmarakṣa at CSZJJ T2145 (LV) 7b12-9c11, a considerable number of works (Kawano counts 31 [I count 38 --- MR] are given precise dates only in the versions of the text in the Song-Yuan-Ming line, that is to say, the same dates are missing in the Korean version of CSZJJ. This note lists all those texts. The Song version of the CSZJJ notes on these texts, as reconstructed according to the Taishō apparatus, reads as follows (the date in parentheses preceding each text is Kawano's calculation of the Gregorian equivalent for the reign date given in the note): (267) 比丘尼誡經一卷（太始三年九月十日出） Entry author: Michael Radich |

[CSZJJ] Sengyou 僧祐. Chu sanzang ji ji (CSZJJ) 出三藏記集 T2145. — T2145 (LV) 8c7-11 |
Sengyou notes that he added four texts to the list of works translated by Dharmarakṣa. The texts in question are the 阿差末經 (T403), 無極寶經 (T636), 阿述達經 (T337), and 等目菩薩經 (T288). Sengyou explains the absence of these texts in Dao'an's catalogue by quoting a remark that Dao'an made, stating that when the "troubles" (war) came, his catalogue(s?) were thrown into disorder: 安錄先闕。今條入錄中。安公云。遭亂錄散小小錯涉。故知今之所獲審是護出也, 9c1-4. 阿差末經四卷(或云阿差末菩薩經別錄所載安錄先闕[+永嘉元年十二月一日出SYM]) Entry author: Michael Radich |
