[Hayashiya 1941] Hayashiya Tomojirō 林屋友次郎. Kyōroku kenkyū 経録研究. Tokyo: Iwanami shoten, 1941. — 1305-1307 |
Hayashiya's summary of the content of the catalogues on this and related titles is as follows: Sengyou's recompilation of Dao'an's catalogue of archaic alternate translations 新集安公古異經錄: CSZJJ 出三藏記集: Fajing’s Zhongjing mulu, Yancong’s Zhongjing mulu and Jingtai 靜泰錄: LDSBJ 三寶記 and KYL 開元錄: Hayashiya concludes that T115 is not Zhi Yao's translation, and has to be listed as an extant anonymous scripture of the Latter Han 後漢 period, because the title was listed in Dao'an's catalogue of archaic alternate translations, and because the vocabulary and the tone of the text are of that period, while not matching those of any known translators.

[Sakaino 1935] Sakaino Kōyō 境野黄洋. Shina Bukkyō seishi 支那佛教精史. Tokyo: Sakaino Kōyō Hakushi Ikō Kankōkai, 1935. — 78 |
In LDSBJ, Fei Changfang newly ascribes nine titles, including the Xiao dao di jing 小道地經 T608, to Zhi Yao 支曜, without giving any evidence. All of those nine titles are found in either Dao'an's catalogue of alternate translations of old scriptures 安公古異經錄, Dao'an's catalogue of anonymous scriptures 安公失譯錄, or Dao'an's catalogue of alternate translations of scriptures produced under the Northern Liang 安公凉土異經錄. CSZJJ ascribed to Zhi Yao only one text, the Chengju guangming jing 成具光明經 [成具光明定意經 T630]. This entry lists all the extant texts first ascribed to Zhi Yao by Fei, to which Sakaino's criticism here applies. Entry author: Atsushi Iseki |

According to Kamata, the Chengju guangming jing 成具光明經 T630 is the only work ascribed correctly to Zhi Yao 支曜 in the Taishō. Ascriptions of other text to Zhi Yao are not acceptable, namely, the Analü ba nian jing 阿那律八念經 (T46), the Xiao dao di jing 小道地經 (T608), the Ma you san xiang jing 馬有三相經 (T114), and the Ma you ba tai pi ren jing 馬有八態譬人經 (T115) (162). [Atsushi: Kamata does not explain why the attribution of those texts to Zhi Yao is incorrect.] Entry author: Atsushi Iseki |

Kamata states that the Bu zi shou yi jing 不自守意經 (T107) ascribed to Zhi Qian, the Ma you san xiang jing 馬有三相經 (T114) and the Ma you ba tai pi ren jing 馬有八態譬人經 (T115) ascribed to Zhi Yao 支曜, may be by An Shigao, but there is no decisive evidence either way. The anonymous Saṃyuktāgama 雜阿含經 of the Wei-Wu 魏呉 period (T101) may also be An Shigao’s work. Entry author: Atsushi Iseki |

[CSZJJ] Sengyou 僧祐. Chu sanzang ji ji (CSZJJ) 出三藏記集 T2145. |
Hayashiya examines Dao’an’s list of anonymous scriptures, as “recompiled” by Sengyou under the title 新集安公失譯經錄 at CSZJJ T2145 (LV) 16c7-18c2. The Ma you ba tai jing 馬有八熊經 is included in the section of the Dao'an/CSZJJ list for texts listed as extant 有; Sengyou adds an interlinear note: 與古異錄馬八弊惡態經異本; 17b21. Hayashiya gives, in tabulated form, information about the treatment of the same texts in Fajing T2146, LDSBJ T2034, the KYL T2154, and his own opinion about whether or not the text is extant in T, and if so, where (by vol. and page no.). The above text is identified by Hayashiya with the Ma you ba tai pi ren jing 馬有八態譬人經 T115, attributed in the present canon (T) to Zhi Yao 支曜. Entry author: Merijn ter Haar |
