Apidamo dapiposha lun Abhidharma-vibha^sa^-/sa^stra. 200 fasc.， by Ka^tya^yani^putra 迦多衍尼子， trans. Xuanzang 玄奘 between 656-659. T 1545.27.1a-1004a. This huge work， crucial for Sarva^stiva^da 有部 Abhidharma， fills an entire Taisho^ volume. Consisting of 8 divisions with 43 chapters， it is a commentary on the Jn~a^naprastha^na （发智论） probably composed in Kashmir around 100 AD. The 500 Arhats 五百罗汉， discussed in such Maha^ya^na works as the Lotus Sutra 法华经 and Nirvana Sutra 涅槃经， and venerated especially by Zen sects， were believed to have compiled the Maha^vibha^s!a four hundred years after Buddha's nirvana during a Council convened by Kanis!ka 迦腻色迦王 for that purpose. Two other translations exist in Chinese: T.28.1546， tr. ca. 425-27 by Buddhavarmin， et al.， originally 110 fasc.， but 50 fasc. were lost during the Liang Dynasty; and T.28.1547 （20 fasc.）， tr. in 383， by Sēngqiébáchéng 僧伽跋澄 （San%ghabhadra or San%ghadeva）. It is a philosophical treatise of the Kashmir Sarva^stiva^da sect， which argues against the theories of various other sects. Commonly referred to by the short title of 大毗婆沙论.
