On the basis of a complex examination of the evidence in the catalogues from CSZJJ to KYL (73-92), Kawano arrives at this corpus of 41 texts, which he thinks can most safely be ascribed to Dharmarakṣa and dated, in order to construct a basis for examining Dharmarakṣa's corpus for the development of translation idiom over the course of his career. This note lists that corpus. Kawano arrives at this corpus on the basis of the following criteria: (1) He accepts texts which were probably dated in the original CSZJJ, as represented by the Koryŏ (Kawano shows that the version of CSZJJ received via the Song[-Yuan-Ming] line of transmission includes a large set of problematic additional dates); (2) He accepts texts first dated in Fajing, as long as the date was accepted by Zhisheng in KYL; (3) He rejects texts for which a translation date first appears in LDSBJ; (4) He adds one further text (T810) that can be dated on the basis of a (very early manuscript) colophon. [Note: This list includes four (or five?) lost texts, and a couple of texts ascribed to other translators in the received canon. The number of lost texts is uncertain, because the list includes a 無量壽經, which some modern scholars would be inclined to identify with T360 ascribed to Kang Sengkai 康僧鎧---MR.] Entry author: Michael Radich |

Mei says that modern scholars suspect that both of these texts are not by Dharmarakṣa. He refers to Gao Mingdao (1983): 47 and Yinshun. Entry author: Michael Radich |

Tsui states that according to CSZJJ, Fashou acted as amanuensis for Dharmarakṣa's translations on three occasions: for the Buddhasaṅgīti-sūtra 諸佛要集經 T810 (in 292); the Acaladharmamudrā-sūtra 聖法印經 T103 (294); and for two texts on a single occasion, via. the Tathāgatajñānamudrāsamādhi-sūtra 慧印三昧經 (for which the only extant text is ascribed to Zhi Qian, T632) and the Sarvavaipulyavidyāsiddhi-sūtra 濟諸方等學經 T274.

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 Shengfayin jing 聖法印經 Acaladharmamudrā-sūtra T103. Dao’an wrote that the text was extracted from the Saṃyuktāgama. Entry author: Sophie Florence |

Sengyou's CSZJJ preserves fifteen prefaces, postfaces and colophons to works ascribed to Dharmarakṣa. This entry lists those works; one, the Śūraṃgamasamādhi-sūtra, is no longer extant. [All other things being equal, the external evidence supporting the ascription to Dharmarakṣa for these texts should therefore be stronger than for other texts. I was unable to find the colophon Zürcher points to for T285---MR.] Entry author: Michael Radich |
