Regarding the Western Jin Catalogue: Sima Yan, styled Anshi, was a native of Wen in Henei. He was the crown prince of Sima Zhao, King of Jin, Generalissimo, Palace Attendant, Director of the Secretariat, and Chancellor of State under the Wei. When Zhao died, Yan succeeded him as King. Emperor Yuan, recognizing that the celestial mandate had found its rightful home, had the Grand Protector Zheng Chong present the imperial seal and abdicate the throne. Yan received the succession with folded arms; this was Emperor Wu. The dynasty was named Jin, and its capitals were Luoyang and Chang'an, the former Eastern and Western capitals. Emperor Wu of Jin reigned for fifteen years. During the Xianning era, he ordered Sima Zhou to pacify the Wu and captured Sun Hao, enfeoffing him as the Marquess Who Submits to the Mandate. From the twenty-fourth year of Yong'an of the Later Han down to the Gengzi year, the beginning of the Taikang era of the Jin, the Nine Provinces were once again united. Furthermore, early in the Huangwu era of the Wu, Lu Ji remarked: 'From now on, after another sixty years, all under Heaven will have carts running on the same gauge and writing in the same script.' When the time arrived, it was indeed just as Ji had said: from the pacification of Shu to the conquest of Wu was nearly sixty years. Twenty years later, at the beginning of the Yongning era under Emperor Hui, the way of governance fell into decay, and the warlords stood like competing peaks. The Prince of Zhao, laying the groundwork, hatched a rebellion and usurped the throne at court. Zhang Gui followed suit and, refusing to act as a vassal, arbitrarily seized the lands of Liang. Within and without, matters seethed into turmoil, steadily opening the path of chaos. It was because of this that Liu Yuan arose in Pingyang, and Li Xiong took advantage to seize the lands of Shu. Emperor Huai was caught in the dust of war at Han Pass, and Emperor Min fled in exile from Chang'an. The Path indeed relies on the times to flourish, yet the two capitals were shaken by turmoil; the Dharma is manifested through people, yet it encountered two sovereigns living in anxious flight. The myriad commoners were scattered and broken, with nowhere to place their faith; the hundred officials lost their posts, and the Śākya clan had no one to rely upon. At that time, there were śramaṇas such as Zhu Fahu and Qiangliang Louzhi who sacrificed their persons for the benefit of living beings, vowing to propagate the teachings, not fearing hardship and toil, taking the expounding of the Dharma as their dedicated task. Fahu produced the most sūtras during the Jin dynasty. Those such as Faqin, Luoxa, Nie Yuan and his son, and Zhu Falan succeeded one another in translation and transmission. Thus, over the course of fifty years, thirteen individuals—Chinese and barbarians, clergy and laity—together with the aforementioned sūtras, precepts, and other texts of lost translators, totaled four hundred and fifty-one texts in seven hundred and seventeen fascicles. They are gathered here to form the historical catalogue of the Western Jin: two capitals, four sovereigns, and fifty-two years.

6.187
The above two hundred ten texts, total three hundred ninety-four fascicles, were translated by the Yuezhi śramaṇa Dharmarakṣa (in Jin: Fahu). His original clan surname was Zhi. He traveled extensively through the Western Regions, understanding the spoken and written languages of thirty-six countries. From the land of Tianzhu he brought back a large collection of Sanskrit manuscripts of brahmanical and Buddhist scriptures, arrived at Yumen, and consequently settled in Dunhuang, thereby taking the surname Zhu. Later he came to Luoyang and traveled to the region east of the Yangtze River, beginning in the first year of the Taishi era during the reign of Emperor Wu and continuing until the second year of the Yongjia era during the reign of Emperor Huai. Wherever circumstances presented themselves during this time, he translated scriptures. The faithful upāsaka Nie Chengyuan held the brush and assisted in the translation. His scrolls and fascicles are the most numerous. However, the Gaoseng zhuan states only that Dharmarakṣa produced one hundred sixty-five texts, and Sengyou's Chu sanzang ji ji records merely one hundred fifty-four texts in three hundred nine fascicles. Among these, Shi Dao'an's catalogue was short four texts which Sengyou supplemented. Dao'an noted that encountering turbulent times caused the catalogues to become scattered and confused, and indeed such was the case. Because the miscellaneous catalogues and various separate records mostly ascribe them to Zhu Fahu, we therefore know that what is now extant is unquestionably Dharmarakṣa's translation. Hence Nie Chengyuan's son Daozhen, along with Zhu Fashou, Chen Shilun, Sun Bohu, Yu Shi, and others, were scribes at various times; this already appears in their individual biographies, so it will not be recounted in detail here. Furthermore, Li Kuo's catalogue and the miscellaneous separate catalogues all state that the Bodhisattva of the Zhi clan translated six texts in sixteen fascicles. Sengyou's catalogue states that the Bodhisattva from Tianzhu translated scriptures, matching the other catalogues in number but differing only in name, and Sengyou appended a note below stating that the Bodhisattva of the Zhi clan translated together with Zhu Fahu. Examining the translated name Dharmarakṣa above, in the Jin language it is precisely Fahu. However, the titles of the six texts attributed to the Bodhisattva of the Zhi clan are all entered in Dharmarakṣa's catalogue; the surnames Zhi and Zhu are simply different from earlier to later. To speak of him as a 'Bodhisattva' was merely an honorific appellation. Thoroughly examining the various catalogues, that Bodhisattva of the Zhi clan is none other than Zhu Fahu; they are not two distinct individuals. The Chu sanzang ji ji made the mistake of listing him twice, which is slightly lacking in thorough verification.

6.197
The above one text in twenty fascicles was originally [obtained by] Zhu Shixing of Yingchuan, who observed a separate recension of it. When Shixing was in Luoyang, he had once lectured on the Daoxing [banruo jing]. Scanning through it, he privately perceived that its phrasing was obscure and crude, not fully refined, and he frequently sighed, saying: 'This scripture is truly the essential teaching of the Mahāyāna, yet the phrasing was not comprehensively translated and its principles are not fully conveyed. I vow to cast aside my life and resolve to seek it out.' In the fifth year of the Ganlu era at the end of the Wei dynasty, Shixing set out from Yongzhou and subsequently traveled to the Western Regions. In the Kingdom of Khotan, he obtained this Sanskrit manuscript of ninety chapters, totaling just under six hundred thousand words. He dispatched his disciple Punyadhana (in Jin: Farao) to carry it back from Khotan to Luoyang. Before his departure, the various Hīnayāna monastic assemblies of Khotan reported to their king, saying: 'A Han śramaṇa wishes to confuse and corrupt the true scriptures using Sanskrit texts. Your Majesty is the lord of the land; if you do not forbid him, you will cut off the great Dharma and cause blindness and deafness in the land of the Han. This will be the King's fault.' The king then refused to permit him to take the scriptures beyond the border. Distressed and deeply grieved at heart, Shixing requested to burn the scriptures as proof [of their truth]. The king granted his request. Thereupon, firewood was piled before the palace to burn them. With utmost sincerity, facing the fire, Shixing made a vow, saying: 'If the great Dharma is destined to circulate in the land of the Han, the scriptures should not burn! If it is not protected, what can I do about my fate?' Having spoken, he cast the scriptures into the flames, and the fire immediately went out. The birch-bark manuscript remained intact, appearing even more lustrous. The great assembly was astonished into submission and unanimously proclaimed it a divine miracle. He was thus able to send it off, and it arrived in Chenliu. There it met the Khotanese monks Mokṣala, Zhu Shulan, and others. On the tenth day of the fifth month in the first year of the Yuankang era during the reign of Emperor Hui, it was translated at the South Temple of the Cangheng River. However, various catalogues such as those by Zhu Daozu, Sengyou, Wang Zong, Baochang, Li Kuo, Fashang, and Lingyu all record this when presenting the various scriptures, saying that Zhu Shixing translated it. This is presumably just attributing the merit to him based on the fact that he was the person who originally sought it. I, Zhangfang, having carefully collated Zhi Mindu's catalogue, the Gaoseng zhuan, the colophons of translated scriptures, and various separate catalogues, find that it was in fact Mokṣala, Zhu Shulan, and one other—three people—who carefully translated it. Zhu Shixing himself remained behind in Khotan, where he eventually passed away; he merely dispatched his disciple to respectfully carry the scripture to the land of Jin. How then could it be said that Shixing produced it?
