六足論 [liu zu lun]—The Six Treatises—[Names/Catalogue (名數 [ming shu])]: 1. The Prakaraṇapādaśāstra (集異門足論 [ji yi men zu lun]) by Sariputra (舍利弗 [she li fu]), 2. The Dharmaskandhaśāstra (法蘊足論 [fa yun zu lun]) by Mahāmaudgalyāyana (大目乾連 [da mu gan lian]), 3. The Prajñaptiśāstra (施設足論 [shi she zu lun]) by Mahākātyāyana (大迦多衍那 [da jia duo yan na]), 4. The Vijñānakāyaśāstra (識身足論 [shi shen zu lun]) by Devakṣema (提婆設摩 [ti po she mo]), 5. The Prakaraṇapādaśāstra (品類足論 [pin lei zu lun]) by Vasumitra (筏蘇蜜多羅 [fa su mi duo luo]), and 6. The Dhātukāyaśāstra (界身足論 [jie shen zu lun]) by the same person. The first three treatises were composed during the Buddha's lifetime (佛在世 [fu zai shi]), while the latter three were composed after the Buddha's parinirvana (佛滅後 [fu mie hou]). All of them discuss the Dharma principles (法義 [fa yi]) of the Sarvāstivāda school (一切有部宗 [yi qie you bu zong]). The Mahāprajñāpāramitā Upadeśa (智度論 [zhi du lun]) volume two refers to them as the six divisions of Abhidharma (六分阿毘曇 [liu fen a pi tan]). Later, Kātyāyanīputra (迦多衍尼子 [jia duo yan ni zi]) composed the Jñānaprasthānaśāstra (發智論 [fa zhi lun]), whose text and meaning were the most extensive. Therefore, later commentators/scholars (論師 [lun shi]) considered the six treatises as "feet" (足 [zu]) and the Jñānaprasthānaśāstra as the "body" (身 [shen]). "Foot" implies the meaning of assisting/supporting (助成 [zhu cheng]); these six treatises assist and support the Jñānaprasthānaśāstra. These seven treatises (七論 [qi lun]) constitute the fundamental collection of treatises (根本論藏 [gen ben lun cang]) for the Sarvāstivāda school. The Abhidharmakośa-bhāṣya-ṭīkā (俱舍論光記 [ju she lun guang ji]) volume one states: "The preceding six treatises have relatively few doctrinal gates/topics (義門 [yi men]). The Jñānaprasthānaśāstra alone has the most extensive Dharma gates/topics (法門 [fa men]). Therefore, later commentators say the six are the 'feet' and Jñānaprasthānaśāstra is the 'body'. These seven treatises above are the fundamental treatises of the Sarvāstivāda school."

六足論—【名數】一、舍利弗之集異門足論,二、大目乾連之法蘊足論,三、大迦多衍那之施設足論,四、提婆設摩之識身足論,五、筏蘇蜜多羅之品類足論,六、同人之界身足論也。前三論為佛在世之作,後三論為佛滅後之作,皆論一切有部宗之法義。智度論二謂為六分阿毘曇者是也。後迦多衍尼子作發智論,文義最為廣博,故後代之論師,以六論為足,以發智論為身。足為助成之義,此六論助成發智論也。此七論為一切有部宗之根本論藏。俱舍論光記一本曰:「前之六論,義門稍少。發智一論,法門最廣。故後代論師說六為足,發智為身。此上七論是說一切有部根本論也。」
