The above two works, totaling thirty-one fascicles. During the reign of Emperor An of Jin, the Tripiṭaka Dharma Master Dharmayaśas of Jibin (translated into Qin as 'Fancheng'; yaśas means 'fame', yet the Gaoseng zhuan says 'Faming', deriving the character from the phonetic sound, which is somewhat unreasonable in its logic) entered Chang'an in the Yixi era. Together with the Indian śramaṇa Dharmagupta (translated into Qin as 'Fazang'), he began in the ninth year of the Hongshi era of the Qin to write out the Sanskrit text for Yao Xing. The translation was completed in the autumn of the sixteenth year. The Qin Crown Prince Hong personally supervised the doctrinal essence. The śramaṇa Shi Daobiao composed the preface.
