肇論新疏 2.21

2.21

義學，即僧史十科中義解。逍遙觀，即今秦中草堂寺。本姚置層觀於此，什公入關，遂施為寺。準《晉書》載紀，王雅信佛法，請師宣譯。師執梵本，王執秦文，更互參正，譯出諸經（云云）。方等者，方正平等，即方廣分。

"Monks versed in doctrinal meanings" corresponds to the "explication of meaning" category among the ten sections of monastic history. The Xiaoyao Garden is the present-day Caotang Temple in Qin. Originally Yao [Xing] had established a multi-tiered pavilion here; when Master Kumārajīva entered the pass, it was bestowed as a temple. According to the Annals in the Book of Jin, the King deeply believed in the Buddha-Dharma and invited the Master to translate and elucidate it. The Master held the Sanskrit texts, while the King held the Qin texts, and they mutually collated and verified them, translating various sūtras (and so on). "Vaipulya" (fangdeng) means square, upright, and equal; that is, the vaipulya division.
