15.15

疏「日照三藏」者，住摩訶菩提及那爛陀寺，風儀溫雅、神機朗逸，負笈研精、琢玉成器。屬玄奘三藏傳教東歸占風聖代，以永隆初至自京師。高宗弘顯教門、詔會龍象，道成律師、薄塵法師等十大德於魏國西寺翻譯經論。時有賢首法師，先以《華嚴》為業，每歎大教闕而未圓，往就問之，果云齎第八會文來至此。賢首遂與三藏對校，果獲善財求善知識天主光等十善友文，乃請譯補闕。復譯《密嚴》等經十有餘部，合二十四卷。垂拱年中，右脇而臥，無疾而終。門人等建塔於龍門山伊水之右。後梁王武三思奏請置伽藍，制以香山為名。月殿陵烟、波涵倒景，珠旛散逈、影入飛雲，工不日成，乃迴天眷，法門盛事今古莫儔。

Regarding the commentary's phrase “the Tripiṭaka Master Divākara”: he resided at Mahābodhi and Nālandā Monasteries; his deportment was gentle and elegant, his spirit bright and extraordinary; carrying his book-box he refined his studies, carving the jade into a vessel. It coincided with the Tripiṭaka Master Xuanzang returning east after transmitting the teachings, looking toward the auspicious winds of this sage era, and Divākara arrived at the capital in the early Yonglong era. Emperor Gaozong propagated and manifested the gates of the teaching, and decreed a gathering of dragons and elephants; the Vinaya Master Daocheng, Dharma Master Baochen, and other top ten worthies translated sūtras and treatises at the Western Monastery of the State of Wei. At that time, Dharma Master Xianshou had previously taken the Avataṃsaka as his vocation, and always lamented that this great teaching was incomplete and not yet consummate. He went to inquire of Divākara, who indeed said that he had brought the text of the eighth assembly to this place. Xianshou then collated it with the Tripiṭaka Master, and indeed obtained the text of Sudhana seeking the kalyāṇamitra Prabhūtaprabhā and the other ten good friends, whereupon he requested its translation to fill the lacuna. Divākara also translated over ten works, such as the Ghanavyūha-sūtra, totaling twenty-four fascicles. During the Chuigong era, he lay on his right side and passed away without illness. His disciples built a stūpa to the right of the Yi River on Mount Longmen. Later, Wu Sansi, Prince of Liang, memorialized the throne requesting the establishment of a monastery, and an imperial decree named it Xiangshan. Its moon pavilions soared above the mist, their reflections immersed in the water; its pearl banners fluttered in the expanse, their shadows entering the drifting clouds. The construction was completed within days, turning the imperial favor; such an event of the Dharma gate is peerless across past and present.
