Sakaino Kōyō 境野黄洋 explains the translation process of this *Daśa-bhāṇavāra-vinaya 十誦律 T1435 (the Sarvāstivāda Vinaya)as follows: Puṇyatāra 弗若多羅 recited the original text in its entirety from memory; probably Kumārajīva 羅什 translated it; but 弗若多羅 passed away due to illness and the translation work discontinued. Later, Dharmaruci 曇摩流支 came to China with the original text of the *Daśa-bhāṇavāra-vinaya. Huiyuan 惠遠, who had found it a shame that the translation of thsi *Daśa-bhāṇavāra-vinaya was incomplete, heard the news and requested Kumārajīva to continue the project with Dharmaruci 曇摩流支, and Kumārajīva completed the translation accordingly. Thus, this text was translated with two chief translators 譯主, Puṇyatāra and Dharmaruci 曇摩流支.

Demiéville reports that these are the works ascribed to Kumārajīva by Sengyou, for which the ascriptions should therefore be more secure.

[Funayama 2004]  Funayama Tōru. "The Acceptance of Buddhist Precepts by the Chinese in the Fifth Century." Journal of Asian History 38, no. 2 (2004): 97-120. — 100-

Funayama recounts details of the process whereby the final text of the 十誦律 T1435 was produced. It arrived in China shortly after Kumārajīva himself (he arrived in 401). Translation was initiated when Puṇyatāra arrived in 404. After two thirds of the text had been translated, Puṇyatāra died, and translation was resumed with the help of Dharmaruci, who arrived in 405. Kumārajīva nurtured the hope of improving on the final translation. However, the final editor of T1435 was in fact Vimalākṣa 卑摩羅叉, who had been Kumārajīva's Vinaya teacher in Kucha. After Kumārajīva's death, Vimalākṣa went to Shouchun 壽春, where he lectured on Vinaya; he later moved to Jiangling 江陵, where he did the same. In Shouchun, Vimalākṣa composed the final version of T1435. (A lecture he gave at a summer retreat 夏坐 at Jiangling was transcribed and delivered to Jiankang 建康; Funayama dates this lecture between 412 and 415; the content of this lecture later became 目連問戒律中五百輕重事 T1483 [Funayama refers to his own study of 1998].)

Sakaino mentions that Zhisheng held that the Shi song lü 十誦律 in 61 juan [Sarvāstivāda Vinaya/*Daśādhyāyavinaya T1435, ascribed to *Puṇyatāra and Kumārajīva 弗若多羅共羅什譯] should be excised from the list of Kumārajīva’s works, since 58 out of 61 juan were “translated” by Puṇyatāra 弗若多羅, and the remaining three juan were an addition “translated” by *Vimalākṣa 卑摩羅叉.
