No	[Hayashiya 1941] Hayashiya Tomojirō 林屋友次郎. Kyōroku kenkyū 経録研究. Tokyo: Iwanami shoten, 1941. — 1332-1333	T0504; 比丘聽施經; 聽施比丘經	Hayashiya's summary of the content of the catalogues on this and related titles is as follows: Sengyou's recompilation of Dao'an's catalogue of archaic alternate translations 新集安公古異經錄: A Ting shi biqiu jing 聽施比丘經 is listed in this catalogue and was extant at the time of Sengyou. Fajing’s Zhongjing mulu, Yancong’s Zhongjing mulu and Jingtai 靜泰錄: Fajing listed this text in the category of alternate translations from the Saṃyuktāgama, since the note attached to the Ting shi biqiu jing in the Dao'an's catalogue mentions that Dao'an states that the text is "one juan, from the Āgama" 阿含一巻. Hayashiya maintains that this classification by Fajing is slightly far-fetched, because there is no text that corresponds to the Ting shi biqiu jing in the surviving SA. Nonetheless, Yancong and Jingtai followed Fajing in classifying the text as an alternate translation form SA, and Jingtai showed the length of the text as three sheets 紙. The text was considered an extant anonymous scripture in the catalogues down to Jingtai. LDSBJ 三寶紀, DZKZM 大周刊定衆經目錄 and KYL 開元錄: LDSBJ classified this text (with the title Biqiu ting shi jing 比丘聽施經) as translated by Zhu Tanwulan 竺曇無蘭 of the E. Jin 東晋 period. DZKZM 大周刊定衆經目錄 and KYL 開元錄 followed LDSBJ in ascribing the text to Tanwualn. DZKZM classified it as an alternate text from SA, but KYL pointed out that there is no corresponding text in SA. The text of the Ting shi biqiu jing is extant today as the Biqiu ting shi jing 比丘聽施經 T504, presented in the modern canon as Tanwulan's translation. However, the vocabulary and tone of T504 are clearly that of the Latter Han 後漢 period and the text cannot be by Tanwulan. Moreover, the text is recorded in Dao'an's catalogue of archaic alternate translations. Thus, Hayashiya concludes that the ascription of this text to Tanwulan is incorrect, and the Biqiu ting shi jing/Ting shi biqiu jing should be recorded as an extant anonymous scripture of the Latter Han 後漢 period.

Hayashiya's summary of the content of the catalogues on this and related titles is as follows:

Sengyou's recompilation of Dao'an's catalogue of archaic alternate translations 新集安公古異經錄:
A Ting shi biqiu jing 聽施比丘經 is listed in this catalogue and was extant at the time of Sengyou.

Fajing’s Zhongjing mulu, Yancong’s Zhongjing mulu and Jingtai 靜泰錄:
Fajing listed this text in the category of alternate translations from the Saṃyuktāgama, since the note attached to the Ting shi biqiu jing in the Dao'an's catalogue mentions that Dao'an states that the text is "one juan, from the Āgama" 阿含一巻.

Bagchi notes that CSZJJ only listed two works under the name of Zhu Tanwulan 竺曇無蘭 [the two works in question are: 三十七品經; 賢劫千佛名經; see T2145:55.10b17-20 [note, however, that CSZJJ also preserves a preface to a third text, entitled 大比丘二百六十戒三部合異, by Tanwulan himself]. Bagchi suggests that this circumstance is not odd, because Sengyou was working in the South, and this meant that his information was always incomplete.

Zhisheng's suspicions extended to one of the works listed by Sengyou, the Sanshiqi pin jing 三十七品經, which he took to be an extract from a Vinaya. The [Da biqiu] erbailiushi jie san bu he yi [大比丘]二百六十戒三部合異 was lost by the time of Zhisheng (Bagchi 323). Zhisheng also remarked of the 賢劫千佛名經 that it appeared to be the work of someone other than Tanwulan (Bagchi 324).
