[Demiéville 1953]  Demiéville, Paul. “Les sources chinoises.” In L’Inde classique: Manuel des études indiennes, Tome II, by Louis Renou and Jean Filliozat, 398-463. Paris: Imprimerie Nationale/Hanoi: École Française d’Extrême-Orient, 1953. — 415-416

Demiéville lists all the texts ascribed to Kumārajīva by Sengyou, namely T201 T223 T227 T235 T245(!) T262 T366 T456 T475 T613 T614 T616 T617 T1435 T1509 T1564 T1568 T1569 T1646. This implies that the ascription of all other texts ascribed to Kumārajīva in the Taishō is less secure than those ascriptions, on at least this count. This entry lists all such texts (all "Kumārajīva" texts EXCEPT those listed by Demiéville/Sengyou).

Tajima Tokuon 田島徳音 presents the following information about the Wenshushili wen puti jing 文殊師利問菩提經 T464 ascribed to Kumārajīva and other closely related texts:

The Zhenyuan lu 貞元錄 T2156 states that the following four scriptures are alternate translations of the same text 同本異譯: T464 (the first translation), the 伽耶山頂經 T465 ascribed to Bodhiruci 菩提流支 of the N. Wei (the second translation), the 象頭精舍經 T466 ascribed to *Vinītaruci 毘尼多流支 of the Sui (the third translation) and 大乘伽耶山頂經 T467 ascribed to Bodhiruci 菩提流志 of the Tang (the fourth translation). DTNDL classifies three of those four texts except for T467 as 同本別出. Fajing categorizes T464 and T465 as alternate translations. According to Tajima, there is no reason to doubt the ascriptions of those four scriptures.

According to Sakaino, CSZJJ ascribes 31 texts still extant today to Kumārajīva. Sakaino maintains that three of them should not be regarded as Kumārajīva’s independent works. This entry is associated with the remaining 28 titles.

Kimura takes as his baseline for his examination of the Kumārajīva corpus the 24 texts that Fei Zhangfang, in LDSBJ, reports were ascribed to Kumārajīva in the Er Qin lu, supposedly by Sengrui. On this basis, Kimura argues that nine texts that were added to Sengrui’s list by Sengyou 僧祐 in CSZJJ: the Śūraṅgamasamādhi 首楞嚴經二卷 T642, a Pusa jing 菩提經一卷 (cf. Gayāśīrṣa T464), the Yi jiao jing 遺教經一卷 (??), the Shi’er yinyuan jing 十二因緣觀經一卷 (??), the Pusa he seyu 菩薩呵色欲一卷 T615, the Chan fa yao jie 禪法要解二卷 T616, the Za piyu jing 雜譬喻經一卷 T208, the Shi’er men lun 十二門論一卷 T1568, and the Chan fa yao 禪法要三卷 (cf. T616 again?). Kimura concludes that these nine texts must have been entries in error, or duplicate entries (誤載、重載).
