Zürcher argues that An Shigao’s Ben xiang yi zhi jing 本相猗致經 T36 is one of a group of twenty-nine texts which can be considered “genuine” Han translations Zürcher reaches this conclusion by a “critical selection” process which requires reliable bibliographic attribution, alongside corroborating evidence from glosses, colophons, prefaces, or commentaries; as well as internal “terminological and stylistic analysis” to identify distinctive features particular to certain translator’s teams. He adds that T36 describes “causal series leading from ‘bad company’, via ‘unbelief’, ‘wrong thoughts’ … to ‘desire’, and the opposite series, leading for ‘good company’ to ‘emancipation.’” Entry author: Sophie Florence |

Out of 30-176 works which have been attributed to An Shigao, Zürcher notes that only 34 were ascribed by Dao’an; 4 of these were attributed only hesitatingly, and of the remaining 30, only 19 have been preserved. Zürcher says that the following 19 texts “with some degree of probability" can be attributed to An Shigao and his school: 長阿含十報法經 T13, 本欲生經 T14, 一切流攝守因經 T31, 本相猗致經 T36, 是法非法經 T48, 漏分布經 T57, 普法義經 T98, 五陰譬喻經 T105, 轉法輪經 T109, 八正道經 T112, 七處三觀經 T150a, 九橫經 T150b, 舍利弗摩訶目連遊四衢經 T397, 大安般守意經 T602, 陰持入經 T603, 禪行法想經 T605, 道地經 T607, 法受塵經 T792, 阿毘曇五法行經 T1557.

Kamata discusses ascriptions to An Shigao, and is willing, on various grounds, to accept the ascriptions for T13, T14, T31, T32, T48, T57, T98, T112, T150A, T150B, T397(17), T602, T603, T607, and T1557. This implies that in Kamata's opinion, the ascriptions for all other texts attributed to An Shigao in T are less reliable, namely, T16, T36, T91, T92, T105, T109, T131, T140, T149, T151, T167, T348, T356, T492, T506, T525, T526, T551, T553, T554, T604, T605, T621, T622, T684, T701, T724, T729, T730, T731, T732, T733, T734, T779, T791, T792, T1467, T1470, T1492, and T2027.

[Harrison 1997] Harrison, Paul. "The Ekottarika-Āgama Translations of An Shigao." In Bauddhavidyāsudhākaraḥ: Studies in Honour of Heinz Bechert on the Occasion of His 65th Birthday, edited by Petra Kieffer-Pülz and Jens-Uwe Hartmann, 261-283. Stisttal-Odendorf: Indica et Tibetica Verlag, 1997. |
In his study of T150A, Harrison argues that 44 of its 47 discourses very likely stem from a larger EĀ tradition known to An Shigao. In addition to these 44 discourses, he further identifies six other extant texts as possibly sharing this provenance: T31, T32, T36, T57, T792, and T605. Harrison also points out that if we accept the association of these texts with EĀ, there will only be five sūtra translations left in the conservative corpus ascribed to An Shigao, for which we lack external evidence of an association with EĀ: T13, T14, T48, T98, T112.
