Sūtra on Mutual Correspondence and Mutual Compatibility (parallel to Saṃyukta-āgama sūtras 449–450, and to T101[20]) by 法炬 (Fǎjù, 譯)
About the work
A single-fascicle Western Jìn 西晉 translation of a discourse on the principle that beings of like character associate with one another — those of base inclinations associate with the base, those of noble inclinations associate with the noble. The Chinese parallels are T99[449–450] and T101[20].
Prefaces
The text bears no preface or postface. The only paratext is the Western-Jìn translator’s signature at the head: 「西晉沙門法炬譯」.
Abstract
T111 was produced during Fǎjù’s Western Jìn translation period (290–311 CE), recorded in the frontmatter. The Indic source is presumed lost.
