金剛般若經贊述 1.4

1.4

傳說我三藏法師是常啼菩薩之後身，信乎其執——破骨出髓之夙志，忘軀殉法，委運祈通。其譯諸經，託終於此法。以大呈嘉瑞及其上遷也，亦誦真文以逝。其有大因緣於般若，而獨得其宗旨者，可以見已。而於本經，最注意焉。

Tradition says that our Tripiṭaka Master was a later rebirth of Sadāprarudita Bodhisattva. Truly one can believe this of his resolution—his longstanding aspiration to break his bones and draw out the marrow, forgetting his physical frame to sacrifice himself for the Dharma, entrusting himself to destiny and praying for passage! His translation of the various scriptures concluded with this teaching. Through this, auspicious omens were greatly manifested; and when he ascended on high, he also passed away while reciting the true text. That he had a great karmic connection to the Prajñā[pāramitā] and uniquely attained its central purport can already be seen. And toward this scripture, he paid the greatest attention.
