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 middle of the text we encounter an irrelevant episode depicting Vimalakīrti coming to visit Ānanda, which Mei suggests is "very possibly" a later interpolation. Entry author: Michael Radich |

Lamotte suggests that the episode relating the encounter between Vimalakīrti and Ānanda (754c23-755a20) is probably borrowed from the Vimalakīrti-nirdeśa (Lamotte’s III §42). Lamotte does not say whether or not he expects this borrowing occurred already at the time of the Indic source text, or in China. 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 Ruguang jing 乳光經 *Vatsasūtra T809. Entry author: Sophie Florence |

犢子經 is given as an alternate title in LDSBJ for the 乳光經 T809, which LDSBJ ascribes (like T) to Dharmarakṣa. The only other entry for this title is 犢牛經, where a note states the equivalence to the present title, 或作子 (cf. T808); this text is ascribed to Tanwulan, but without any particular source.
