This text actually contains three unrelated scriptures, which have somehow been amalgamated. T735C corresponds to a portion of the Qi chu jing, T150A(1) AND (3) (both!). T735C only should therefore be dissociated from Zhi Qian. Entry author: Michael Radich |

According to Zürcher, Sengyou attributed thirty-six texts to Zhi Qian 支謙, of which twenty-three have survived: T54, T68, T76, T87, T169, T185, T198, T225, T281, T362, T474, T493, T532, T533, T556, T557, T559, T581, T632, T708, T735, T790, T1011. However, Zürcher notes that T68 “is not mentioned by Dao’an.” This entry includes all twenty-three texts accepted by Zürcher as genuine Zhi Qian translations. Entry author: Sophie Florence |

Sakaino lists 29 “Hīnayāna” titles ascribed to Zhi Qian in LDSBJ (list on 129-130), and claims that there is hardly any doubt that the titles ascribed to Zhi Qian already in CSZJJ are truly his work [by this Sakaino apparently refers to the first ten titles of the list, nine of which were included in Dao’an’s catalogue and the one in CSZJJ. Those ten are the titles associated with this entry --- AI] Entry author: Atsushi Iseki |

This is one of three independent sūtras that actually appear amalgamated as a single text, T735. T735C is identical with portions of "the ubiquitous Qi chu san guan jing" 七處三觀經 (65), i.e. T150(1) and (3), and as such, is more likely to be closely associated with An Shigao than with Zhi Qian. Hayashiya (1937) thought he could be confident that the group of texts in which this text falls were indeed by An Shigao, but Harrison (2002) is much more cautious, saying that we can only ascribe them to An Shigao "provisionally, as a translation which may have been made by him".
