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 |

The 23 texts appearing on this list are all given dates in CZSJJ between the years 303 and 305. Boucher does not give his sources for individual dates in this list, saying only "I will coordinate the list of his translation corpus provided by Sengyou...with the preserved colophons that provide information on the dates and locations at which some texts were translated." [However, all dates appear in a list of Dharmarakṣa’s works at CSZJJ T2145:55.7b12-9c24. There, with the sole exception of that for T435, the Taishō apparatus indicates that these dates are found only in alternate witnesses, usually the Song, Yuan and Ming together, but not in the Korean---MR.] Boucher says of texts on this list (28-29): "From 303 to 305 there appears to be a rash of rapidly completed short texts. However, there are several reasons why we might be suspicious of these records. First, it was precisely during this period that northern China was in a desperate state of political and social turmoil. The Xiongnu and Xianbei had forced the emperor to flee the capital in 304, ravaging Luoyang before turning westward to attach Chang'an in 306. Although this by no means proves that Dharmarakṣa could not have found safe haven in which to continue his translation work, conditions would certainly have been far from ideal. Second, some of our records of these translations are in doubt. For example, the Shelifu huiguo jing that is currently extant is attributed to An Shigao but almost certainly postdates both him and Dharmarakṣa [no reference given]. If this is the same text referred to by Sengyou, it is a mistaken attribution. Also, the dates of all the texts translated in 304 except Yanjingding jing are uncertain; they refer either to dates that are not known to exist from our calendrical sources (e.g. the third year of the Tai'an 太安 period) or to dates that are ambiguous." Boucher's list, with his Sanskrit equivalents for the titles where he proposes on, and Chu sanzang ji ji (T2145) loci [not provided by Boucher], is as follows: 樓炭經 Lokasthāna-sūtra [listed as lost in CSZJJ 8c20] [The CSZJJ note applying to all these texts reads: Entry author: Michael Radich |
