The extant 九橫經 Jiu heng jing has been transmitted as part of the received T150A. In his study of that collection, Harrison restores the original order of the collection as follows (roman numerals are used to indicate the number that discourses currently carry in the Taishō): A. 七處三觀經Qi chu san guan jing: i(a) 875b4 – c16 & iii(b) 876b1 – c7 Based on the records in Sengyou’s CSZJJ, Harrison deduces that these texts were already collated together by Sengyou's time, since he marks the collection Zajing sishisi pian as missing, and indicates the length of Qi chu as 2 juan and Jiuheng as 1 juan --- even though Qi chu alone could never have amounted to 2 juan. Harrison tentatively suggests for the Jiu heng jing the Sanskrit title *Navākāla-maraṇa-sūtra, ‘The Nine Untimely [Deaths] Spoken by the Buddha”. He does not find any parallels in Chinese and Pāli aside from T150b. He notes that the Bhaiṣajyaguru-sūtra also lists nine forms of premature death, but the contents of the two lists differ. While acknowledging that some catalogues assign the sūtra to SĀ, Harrison thinks that the Jiu heng jing also could have stemmed from an EĀ collection. Entry author: Sharon Chi |
