成唯識論了義燈 1.6

1.6

依天親傳，佛滅度後，三百年中，有阿羅漢，名迦旃延子。母性迦旃延，從母為名。先於薩婆多部出家，本是中天竺人，後往罽賓國。罽賓國在西天竺。與五百阿羅漢、五百菩薩，共撰集薩婆多部阿毘達磨，祕不流出。經於多時，五天不覩。後東天竺阿踰闍國有一法師，名婆須跋陀羅，聰明大智，往彼習學，誦得流外，廣如彼說。後鳩摩邏多、室利邏多皆廣造論弘，初有教眾生，著有大乘法教，多皆隱沒。

According to the Biography of Vasubandhu, within three hundred years after the Buddha's extinction, there was an arhat named Kātyāyanīputra. His mother's clan was Kātyāyana, and he took his name from his mother. He initially went forth in the Sarvāstivāda school; he was originally a person of Central India, and later went to the country of Jibin. The country of Jibin is in Western India. Together with five hundred arhats and five hundred bodhisattvas, he compiled the Sarvāstivāda Abhidharma, keeping it secret without letting it circulate. A long time passed without any of the five regions of India seeing it. Later, in the country of Ayodhyā in Eastern India, there was a Dharma master named Vasubhadra, who was clever and possessed great wisdom; he went there to study, memorized it, and circulated it outside, fully as related there. Later, Kumāralāta and Śrīlāta both extensively composed treatises to propagate [it]. At first there were teachings [for] sattvas attached to existence, while the Mahāyāna Dharma-teachings were mostly concealed.
