The Emperor composed a preface to the \*Tianzhu ziyuan\* (Origins of Tianzhu Script) and presented it to the Translation Bureau. This book was translated symmetrically between Chinese and Sanskrit by Dharmarakṣa and Weijing into seven scrolls; the study of linguistics (śabdavidyā) truly originated with this. His preface states: "As for the leaders of translation, there were five Tripiṭaka masters such as Tianxizai (four from the Western land: Tianxizai, Dānapāla, Faxian, Dharmarakṣa; one from the Eastern land, namely Weijing); those who took down by brush, composed the text, and verified the meaning numbered seventy-nine from Fajin to Huideng. The monks from the Five Indias who presented Sanskrit scriptures numbered eighty from Fajun to Dharmakīrti. The monks from this land who went to fetch scriptures and were able to return numbered 138 from Cihan to Ximi. There were 1,428 Sanskrit texts, translated into 564 scrolls." ○ In the eleventh month, an edict ordered Kong Zongyuan to inherit the enfeoffment of Duke Wenxuan. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 45.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.45.16) - [Next: 45.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.45.18) - [Up: 45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.45) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.45.17) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.45.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.45.17) · Pramāṇa
