Note what this gives us that the present page does not: '''a citation count per
work'''. The most-quoted sources in the ''Śikṣāsamuccaya'' turn out to be the
''Pitāputrasamāgamanasūtra'' (62 quotations), the ''Aṣṭasāhasrikāprajñāpāramitā''
(45), the ''Ratnameghasūtra'' (34) and the ''Dharmasaṃgītisūtra'' (30). That is a
scholarly data point the hand-written page had no way of showing, and it now fills
the empty left-hand column of the existing layout.

The ''Pitāputrasamāgamanasūtra'' is the clearest case: '''62 quote segments, but
14 quotations''', and one of its runs is 36 consecutive segments. Across the
whole ''Śikṣāsamuccaya'', '''633 quote segments are 322 quotations'''.
 
The list groups runs of consecutive <code>SegmentOrder</code> that share a
source, and anchors each quotation to the '''lowest''' segment number, so a link
lands at the start of the passage. A change of

in different chapters are two quotations — though no run in the current data

'''Two details that are easy to get wrong''', both found by testing against the
real data:
 
* '''A segment can name more than one source''', semicolon-separated, when a passage is shared: <code>Bodhisattvapratimokṣa… (RKTSK 248);Vinayaviniścayopāli… (RKTSK 68)</code>. Every id has to be read, or one work takes the whole passage and the other shows nothing.
* '''The catalogue number needs a boundary.''' Matching <code>RKTSK 12</code> loosely also catches <code>RKTSK 127</code> and <code>RKTSK 129</code>. Every source value closes its bracket right after the number, so <code>(RKTSK 12)</code> is exact.

'''Size is measured in words, not segments.''' A "long quotation" note appears
past 400 words of translated text, which is about 8% of them. Segment count says
nothing useful about length — the single longest quotation in the corpus, 8,330
words of the ''Ratnolkādhāraṇī'', is '''one segment'''.

== What the switch changed ==
 
<div class="row justify-content-center">
<div class="col-lg-12 text-article">
 
The hand-maintained page listed '''78 works'''. The generated list finds
'''61''', and the two do not simply overlap:


* '''6 works the hand list did not have''' now appear, including the ''Vajradhvajapariṇāmanā'' with '''25 quotations''' — a substantial omission.
{| class="wikitable sortable"
* '''24 works the hand list had are not tagged''' in the translation memory, so they cannot be counted automatically.
! Work !! Cited elsewhere? !! What that suggests
 
Those 24 are '''not dropped'''. They sit in a clearly-labelled second section of
the page, with the curator's own descriptions and "Also cited as" notes intact.
As segments are tagged, entries move up to the generated list on their own.
 
'''Eleven of the 24 have no RKTS catalogue number at all''' — only a title — so
they could never be matched automatically even once tagged. Those need a
catalogue identification first, and are the most useful thing to fix.

== Matching sources to wiki pages ==
 
<div class="row justify-content-center">
<div class="col-lg-12 text-article">
 
<code>QuoteSource</code> holds a '''display string''', not a link — for example
<code>Gaṇḍavyūhasūtra (RKTSK 44-45)</code>. Each of those strings has to be matched
to a text page on this wiki.
 
Two ways of doing that, used together:
 
# '''By RKTS catalogue number.''' Extract <code>RKTSK 44-45</code> and match it against the <code>DrlPageName</code> property. This is the more reliable route, because it is unaffected by spelling and it keeps Kangyur and Tengyur texts distinct.
# '''By title.''' Look up the name as a page, following redirects.
 
Together these currently resolve '''66 of the 77''' works, covering roughly '''96%'''
of the 633 individual quotations. The eleven that remain are listed below.
 
We have already created '''26 redirects''' from the alternate titles recorded in
the <code>Also cited as</code> notes on the existing page, which is where a good
deal of this matching came from in the first place. That curatorial work is
preserved.

== Titles needing a decision ==
 
<div class="row justify-content-center">
<div class="col-lg-12 text-article">
 
These are the <code>QuoteSource</code> values that do '''not''' currently resolve
to a page. Candidates are '''mechanical suggestions only''' — they are based on
spelling similarity, not on scholarship, and none should be acted on without
review. Red links indicate pages that do not exist.

No page on '''this''' wiki matches these, under any spelling we could find.
 
That does not necessarily mean we lack the text. Several of these may well exist
in the '''[https://research.tsadra.org Research Library (DRL)] archive''' and
simply never have been created here, having been judged not directly relevant to
the Bodhicitta project. If so, bringing them across may be straightforward — but
that is a decision for the curator, not an automatic import.
 
As a first check we searched the DRL database for the titles below and did not
find matches for ''Kāmāvavādakasūtra'', ''Lokanāthavyākaraṇa'' or
''Anupūrvasamudgataparivarta''. That search was by Sanskrit title only, so it is
not conclusive — these works may be catalogued there under their Tibetan or
Wylie titles instead.

* '''It stays current.''' The hand-written page had already fallen behind by six works, one of them quoted 25 times. A query cannot.
* '''Quotation counts.''' How often each work is quoted, in the column that previously held a decorative vajra.
* '''The same figure on the text pages.''' Each cited work now carries a "Cited ''n'' times in the ''Śikṣāsamuccaya''" panel of its own, listing every passage with its folio and a link into the bilingual layout. The two are generated from the same rule, so they cannot disagree.
* '''Far less markup.''' 790 lines of hand-written entries became about 100, most of which is the 24 untagged works.

<div class="row justify-content-center">

* '''The <code>Also cited as</code> notes are scholarship, not formatting.''' They record identifications that exist nowhere else on the wiki — that the ''Candrapradīpasūtra'' is the ''Samādhirājasūtra'', that the ''Ratnakūṭasūtra'' cited here is the ''Kāśyapaparivarta''. They survive in the archive and on the 24 untagged entries, but they are '''not yet data''': they should become redirects or a property before the archive is ever tidied away.
* '''Genre labels.''' The hand-written page distinguished ''Sūtra'', ''Dhāraṇī'', ''Tantra'', ''Avadāna'', ''Aspiration prayer'' and others. That is curatorial judgement, stored nowhere as data, so the generated list falls back to <code>Classification</code>. Recovering it needs a property of its own.

We ran an automated pass over '''all {{#ask:[[~Translation Memory:016-Tsadra-SSC-Root/*]]|format=count}} segments''' of the
alignment, comparing the Tibetan recorded in each segment against
[[Texts/Śikṣāsamuccaya/Full text/tib|the full Tibetan text]], and looking for
quotations that may have been missed or marked inconsistently.
 
'''This is a machine pass, not a scholarly reading.''' It is good at finding
things that look irregular and cannot judge whether an irregularity is an error.

=== Coverage of the Tibetan ===

Of the 1,414 segments that carry Tibetan, '''1,252 appear verbatim''' in the full
text once spacing, ''tsheg'', ''shad'' and editorial note markers are normalised.
Of the remaining 122, closer checking showed:
 
* '''85''' are present but with '''small textual variants''' — the text is there, differing in a word or a particle. These are the ordinary differences between witnesses and are probably not errors.
* '''31''' matched completely once the comparison ignored where the segment ''starts'' — i.e. the passage is in the text but the segment boundary falls differently.
* '''6''' could not be found anywhere in the full text at all.
 
The six are short (27–44 characters) and are mostly structural, so they are most
likely editorial headers rather than missing scripture:

There is a legitimate reason some of these might stay as they are. Śāntideva
frequently ''paraphrases'' or introduces a source before quoting it, and the
alignment may deliberately mark the introduction as commentary and the quotation
proper as the following segment. That is exactly the kind of distinction a machine
cannot make.

Quotations the alignment has not caught
Works the curators identified that the segment data does not attribute

The Works Cited page is generated from the translation memory: every segment of the Śikṣāsamuccaya that quotes another work carries a QuoteSource naming it, and the list is the sum of those tags.

That makes the list only as complete as the tagging. This page records what the tagging appears to have missed — works the curators recorded in the hand-written list that the segment data does not attribute to anything.

It is a findings page, not a task list. Each row is a question for a curator, not a defect to be fixed mechanically.

Where the list stands

The alignment now attributes 358 quotations across 78 works. That is up from 61 works: QuoteSource became a page property in September 2026, and the count is no longer limited to works carrying an RKTS catalogue number. The 17 works that had no number are now included on equal terms.

Every one of the Śikṣāsamuccaya's 633 quote segments carries a source. There are no untagged quotations left in the alignment — so anything missing from the list is a question of attribution, not of unmarked text.

17 works the curators named that the alignment does not

These appear in the archived hand-written list but are not the QuoteSource of any Śikṣāsamuccaya segment. Six of them are quoted elsewhere in the translation memory, which tells us the page and the identification are sound and only the attribution in this alignment is absent.

Work Cited elsewhere? What that suggests
Bhagavato bhaiṣajyaguruvaiḍūryaprabhasya pūrvapraṇidhānaviśeṣavistārasūtra not cited anywhere in the translation memory Neither this alignment nor any other attributes a passage to this work. Either the identification needs revisiting, or the passage was never segmented as a quote.
Brahmaparipṛcchāsūtra 7 quotations in BC-Root-Bhavanakrama-3 The work is quoted elsewhere on the wiki, so the page and its identification are sound. What is missing is the attribution in this alignment — the passage the curators marked is tagged to another source, or not marked as a quote.

Saptamaithunasaṃyuktasūtra not cited anywhere in the translation memory Neither this alignment nor any other attributes a passage to this work. Either the identification needs revisiting, or the passage was never segmented as a quote.
Bodhisattvagocaropāyaviṣayavikurvitanirdeśasūtra 1 quotation in BCA-Com-Great Hum The work is quoted elsewhere on the wiki, so the page and its identification are sound. What is missing is the attribution in this alignment — the passage the curators marked is tagged to another source, or not marked as a quote.

Triskandhakasūtra 1 quotation in BCA-Com-Great Hum The work is quoted elsewhere on the wiki, so the page and its identification are sound. What is missing is the attribution in this alignment — the passage the curators marked is tagged to another source, or not marked as a quote.
Vajradhvajapariṇāma not cited anywhere in the translation memory Neither this alignment nor any other attributes a passage to this work. Either the identification needs revisiting, or the passage was never segmented as a quote.
Śālistambasūtra 2 quotations in BCA-Com-Minyak-Ch9, BC-Root-Bhavanakrama-1 The work is quoted elsewhere on the wiki, so the page and its identification are sound. What is missing is the attribution in this alignment — the passage the curators marked is tagged to another source, or not marked as a quote.

What we need from you

For each work above, one of three things is true, and only a curator can say which:

  1. The passage is in the text but tagged to a different source. The attribution needs correcting on the segment.
  2. The passage is in the text but was never marked as a quote. The segment needs SegmentFormat=Quote and a QuoteSource.
  3. The identification was provisional. The hand-written list recorded a probable source that the alignment work did not confirm.

Case 3 is not a defect. The hand-written list was built from scholarship, and an identification that the segmentation does not bear out is worth recording as such rather than quietly dropping.

The archived list is preserved in full at Texts Cited in Śikṣāsamuccaya/Archive 2026-08.
