右二部合二卷。文帝世。西域沙門畺良耶舍。宋言時稱。性剛直寡嗜慾。善三藏學。多所識知。尤工禪思。元嘉年初達京邑。帝深加賞。勅住鍾山道林精舍以上二經是轉障之祕術。淨土之洪因。常受持諷誦。故沙門僧含祈請譯出。含躬筆受。並見道慧宋齊錄及高僧傳。

The above two texts in a total of two fascicles. In the era of Emperor Wen, śramaṇa Kālayaśas (in the language of the Song: "Fame of the Times") of the Western Regions was upright, straightforward, and had few desires. He was well versed in Tripiṭaka learning, possessed broad knowledge, and was particularly skilled in dhyāna meditation. At the beginning of the Yuanjia era he arrived in the capital. The emperor praised him deeply and ordered him to reside at the Daolin Hermitage on Mount Zhong. Because the above two sūtras are secret methods for reversing hindrances and magnificent causes for the Pure Land, which he constantly received, maintained, and chanted, the śramaṇa Senghan prayed and requested him to translate them. Han personally served as the scribe. Both appear in Daohui's Song and Qi catalogues and the Biographies of Eminent Monks.
