Translated by Yìjìng (義淨) in the early 8th century.

Abstract
The Mūlasarvāstivāda Bǎi-yī jiémó is the fullest and most systematic karmavācanā compendium in the Chinese canon. The “hundred-and-one” enumeration covers the standard upasaṃpadā formulae, the uposatha, pravāraṇā, kaṭhina, and vassa procedures, plus the various adhikaraṇa (legal-dispute) procedures, and the regulations for saṃgha-bheda, naiḥsargika confiscation, and the karman of expulsion / restoration. The Sanskrit version is preserved in the Gilgit manuscripts (Banerjee 1957). The text is paralleled in the older Sarvāstivāda tradition by the anonymous Dà-shāmén bǎiyī jiémó-fǎ (KR6k0019), which presents a less elaborate version of the same schema.
