歷代三寶紀 9.45

9.45

右一十四部合二十一卷。晉孝武世。沙門聖堅於河南國為乞伏乾歸譯。或云堅公。或云法堅。未詳孰是。故備列之。依驗群錄。一經江陵出。一經見趙錄。十經見始興錄。始興即南錄。或竺道祖晉世雜錄。或支敏度都錄。或王宗或寶唱。勘諸錄名人似遊涉隨處出經。既適無停所。弗知附見何代。世錄為正。今且依法上錄總入乞伏西秦世錄云。

The fourteen works above, totaling twenty-one fascicles. During the reign of Emperor Xiaowu of the Jin, the śramaṇa Shengjian translated them in the state of Henan for Qifu Gangui. Some call him Jian Gong, others call him Fajian; it is not certain which is correct, so all are listed. Upon checking the various catalogues: one sūtra was produced in Jiangling; one sūtra appears in the Zhao Catalogue; ten sūtras appear in the Shixing Catalogue—Shixing being the Southern Catalogue—or Zhu Daozu's Miscellaneous Records of the Jin Dynasty, or Zhi Mindu's Comprehensive Catalogue, or Wang Zong or Baochang. Examining the various catalogue records, the person seems to have traveled about and produced sūtras wherever he went. Since he had no fixed residence, it was unknown under which dynasty he should be listed; worldly catalogues take this as standard. Now, following Fashang's Catalogue, they are collectively entered into the records of the Qifu Western Qin period.
