The material generally revolves around stories about the life and past lives of the Buddha and his disciples. Verse collections like the Dharmapāda are also included in this collection. There is a total of 68 texts, many of which are large collections of individual stories.

Other Sūtras
Sūtras that didn’t fall into one of the first eight divisions of sūtra translations were collected together into this miscellaneous division. Some of these texts are actually āgama sūtras that weren’t recognized at the time by the Taisho editors. One of the more significant of these parallels is Xuanzang’s translation of an entire itivṛttaka collection (T765 in the list below). There are 423 texts in this division.
