Nattier does not regard the traditional ascription to Zhi Qian as reliable. Nattier suggests this text could be compared with T604, T605 and T792. 55 n. 100: Daoan regards the text as anonymous, and the ascription to Zhi Qian "stems from Fei Changfang...and need not be taken seriously."

[Hayashiya 1941] Hayashiya Tomojirō 林屋友次郎. Kyōroku kenkyū 経録研究. Tokyo: Iwanami shoten, 1941. — 1064-1068 |
Hayashiya's summary of the content of the catalogues on this and related titles is as follows: The recompiled catalogue of variant translations from the Liang country 新集安公涼土異經録 (Sengyou's reconstitution of a portion of Dao'an's catalogue): Yancong’s Zhongjing mulu, Jingtai 靜泰錄 and DTNDL 内典錄: There is a Qi zhi jing 七知經 in the Taishō, T27 is almost two sheets long, so it is the text listed in Jingtai and DTNDL. This being the case, those two catalogues are correct in using the title Qi zhi jing 七知經 rather than Qi shi jing 七事經, and one of the two entries on the Qi shi jing 七事經 in Yancong---in the category of repeat Hīnayāna translations---is erroneous and should have been written Qi zhi jing 七知經. Hayashiya therefore claims that the Qi zhi jing 七知經 in Yancong and Jingtai listed as a Hīnayāna offshoot sutra should be excised as redundant, since there already as the Qi zhi jing 七知經 (written Qi shi jing 七事經 in Yancong) as a repeat Hīnayāna translation 小乗經重譯. No translator is specified for this Qi zhi jing 七知經 by any of those catalogues. LDSBJ 三寶記 and KYL 開元錄: Hayashiya concludes that the Qi zhi jing 七知經 is an anonymous scripture of the W. Jin 西晋 period, well-known in the Liangzhou 涼州 area. Entry author: Atsushi Iseki |

According to Zürcher, Sengyou attributed thirty-six texts to Zhi Qian 支謙, of which twenty-three have survived. This entry lists texts which are ascribed to Zhi Qian in the present Taishō, yet do not appear among Sengyou’s attributions. Entry author: Sophie Florence |

[Sakaino 1935] Sakaino Kōyō 境野黄洋. Shina Bukkyō seishi 支那佛教精史. Tokyo: Sakaino Kōyō Hakushi Ikō Kankōkai, 1935. — 131 |
Sakaino states that some terms in the Qi zhi jing 七知經 T27 are almost identical with those used in the anonymous Nihuan jing 泥洹經 [般泥洹經 T6], such as 理家衆, and the names of the twelve classes of Buddhist scriptures 十二分教, viz., 文, 歌, 説, 頌, 譬喩, 本起記, 事解, 生傳, 廣博, 自然, 行, 章句. [Sakaino argues elsewhere in the same book (555-561) that T6, as well as the Nihuan jing 泥洹經 ascribed to Bo Fazu 白法祖 T5, should be reascribed to Zhi Qian, hence it is implied here that the ascription of T27 to Zhi Qian is correct].

[Sakaino 1935] Sakaino Kōyō 境野黄洋. Shina Bukkyō seishi 支那佛教精史. Tokyo: Sakaino Kōyō Hakushi Ikō Kankōkai, 1935. — 129-135 |
Sakaino lists 29 extant “Hīnayāna” titles ascribed to Zhi Qian in LDSBJ (list on 129-130) [the number seems to be 28, strictly speaking, since, as Sakaino himself states, the last one in his list, the Zhuanji bai yuan jing 撰集百緣經 T200, was listed initially in DTNDL, followed by KYL --- AI]. He judges that there is hardly any doubt that the ten titles ascribed to Zhi Qian already in CSZJJ are truly his work. However, regarding the other 19 [18?] titles, Sakaino points out that all but four [three?] of them were already listed by Dao’an or Sengyou, but under other attributions or associated with other information about provenance (listed below): In Dao'an's catalogue of archaic alternate translations 安公古異經錄 of CSZJJ: 不自守意經 T107 In Dao'an's catalogue of alternate translations from the (Northern) Liang country 安公凉土異經錄: 七知經 T27 In Dao’ans catalogue of anonymous scriptures 安公失譯錄 [By this Sakaino seems to mean 新集安公失譯經錄 --- AI]: 諸法本經 T59 In Sengyou's new catalogue of anonymous scriptures 續失譯錄 [By this Sakaino seems to mean 新集續撰失譯雜經錄 --- AI]: 戒消伏災經 [戒消災經 T1477] According to Sakaino, therefore, only the following titles among the 19 titles might actually be Zhi Qian’s work: 佛開解梵志阿颰經 T20: Entry author: Atsushi Iseki |
