Now, on the basis of the chronological evaluation of the texts made in the Table of Synopsis in Chapter II, let us sort out which texts in Satakas I-II belong to which canonical stages in the following Table 1. When a sutra or a sutra group covers a few subject fields, we underline only one of them to be taken up in the succeeding Table IV. In a few cases, there occurs a text which covers two totally different subjects belonging to two different ages. These should have been treated as two independent texts, which the Bhagavati editors in the modern age counted as one. Such a text is entered here twice under two different age groups. From this naturally ensues the fact that the number of texts entered in Table I is larger than the original number of texts reckoned in the present printed text. As we have cautioned at the beginning of Chapter III, the topical entries of the contents of sutras shown in the 1st column of the Table of Synopsis are not always complete and exhaustive, and this limitation should be kept in mind.
And in order to avoid complication, subject fields are indicated in the tables of Ch.IV up to 2 units only, that is, A-1 and C-lc, etc., but not A-1-1 and C-1c-2, etc., as recorded in the Table of Synopsis and Ch. III.
