23.3–10 = D 155b–2 = Staël-Holstein §88 (including a sentence not in the extant Sanskrit). Category A.
22.19–23.3 = D 155a6–b1 = Staël-Holstein §90. Category A/B.
Notes
Although Staël-Holstein 1926 is no longer the standard edition of the Sanskrit, its numbering remains standard and is thus quoted here.
Śikṣāsamuccaya (9)
196.11–14 = D 109b6 –110a1 = Staël-Holstein §128. Category A.
55.3–5 = D 36a5–6 = Staël-Holstein §6. The sūtra Tib. trans. agrees more closely with the Skt. in Śikṣ. than that in the single manuscript used for Staël-Holstein’s edition. The Śikṣ Tib. is close to but not entirely identical with the sūtra. Nevertheless, very close to Category A.
54.11–15 = D 36a1–3 = Staël-Holstein §11. Slight rewording which brings the Tibetan more closely into line with the Sanskrit of Śikṣ. Category A.
53.18 = D = 35b1 = Staël-Holstein §24, 25. The quotation includes one clause from §24, and then jumps to the last word of §25. Category A.
52.16–53.4 = D 35a1–4 = Staël-Holstein §4. Category A, but with inversion of one clause.
52.12–15 = D 34b7–35a1 = Staël-Holstein §3. Category A, with some slight variations.
233.15–234.18 = D 130b4–131b2 = Staël-Holstein §97–102. At 130b7 Śikṣ. reflects Skt. pe[yālam], noticing the omission of one item, with de bzhin du sbyar te, but in fact skips no text. However, at the next instance at 131a2, the same correctly reflects the omis-sion of several items. At 131a5 a phrase is skipped without note, and in fact while the whole section §100 is rather different in Śikṣ., this difference is not reflected in the Tib. trans. which closely follows the sūtra translation. There are other instances demonstrating this reliance on the sūtra without adjustment to conform to Śikṣ., at least as far as we can tell from the single available Skt. manuscript of that text. Category B.
148.8–12 = D 84a1–2 = Staël-Holstein §5. Category A.
146.4–5 = D 82a7–b1 = Staël-Holstein §15. While the quotation is abbreviated, it is Category A.
Mahāsūtrasamuccaya (4)
§14.1 = D 78b5–79b7 = Staël-Holstein §121-125. Category A.
Notes
The sūtra is cited by Dīpaṅkaraśrījñāna in the Bodhimārgadīpapañjikā (Sherburne 2000: 100–101, 298–299), the first part of which corresponds to Mahāsūtrasamuccaya §31.4, though it continues also into the next section of the sūtra. The second passage does not appear in the Mahāsūtrasamuccaya, but corresponds to Śikṣāsamuccaya 55.3–5.
§29.11 = D 155b7–156a4 = Staël-Holstein §84, 88. Category A. The citations of the two sections are separated by zhes gsungs pa na. Here the verse in §88 is not included.
Notes
The sūtra is cited by Dīpaṅkaraśrījñāna in the Bodhimārgadīpapañjikā (Sherburne 2000: 100–101, 298–299), the first part of which corresponds to Mahāsūtrasamuccaya §31.4, though it continues also into the next section of the sūtra. The second passage does not appear in the Mahāsūtrasamuccaya, but corresponds to Śikṣāsamuccaya 55.3–5.
§31.4 = D 161b2–5 = Staël-Holstein §3. Category A, with only the addition of mkhan po before slob dpon.

§11.10 = D 72b1–7 = Staël-Holstein §111-114. Category A. Note that in contrast to the Śikṣāsamuccaya, here the verses of the sūtra are also quoted.

Puming pusa hui 普明菩薩會
Yiri monibao jing 遺日摩尼寶經
Notes
The term yiri 遺日 in the title occurs in the sūtra itself (§52) more fully as yiriluo 遺日羅. Wogihara Unrai suggested that this is probably an error for yiyueluo 遺曰羅, a transcription of the Sanskrit term vipula or vaipulya. Paul Pelliot agreed, and further suggested that the reading be weiyueluo, rendering Prakritic vivula = vipula. The term monibao 摩尼寶 is a standard transcription-cum-translation of maṇi-ratna. Accepting these revisions, the title of the text may have been a Prakrit version of something like Sanskrit Vaipulya-maṇiratna or Ratnakūṭ̣a-vaipulya. Wogihara made his suggestion to Staël-Holstein, as the latter reports 1926: IX. See also Tsukinowa 1935:?? = 1971: 395. Pelliot discussed the phonetics of the transcription in some detail, 1936: 69-70. The Chu sanzang ji ji T. 2154 (LV) 19b19 lists a 大珍寶積惟日經一卷. The same is found in the Kaiyuan shijiao lu T. 2154 (LV) 518b16, with remarks c1-6. This is almost identical with the reading in the Han translation of the KP itself §52: 極大珍寶之積遣日羅經.
’Od srung gi le’u
*Kāśyapaparivarta
Notes
The title *Kāśyapaparivarta is conventional for a text that in Sanskrit was certainly called the Ratnakūṭa-sūtra. It is never cited in Sanskrit sources any other way. [Apple 2017: 208 is misleading; his reference to a work of Atiśa tells us only that the Tibetan translators substituted a title known in Tibet.] This however is the title quoted in Kanjurs, namely Ārya-Kāśyapaparivarta nāma mahāyāna-sūtra. It is conventionally referred to as KP. In the 至 catalogue, at 186b7 it is erroneously stated that the title is missing.
至: According to 186b7, Tibetan missing.
