Under Emperor Taizong of the Tang, Tripiṭaka Master Xuanzang presented newly translated texts, including the *Bodhisattvapiṭaka Sūtra* and the *Prakaraṇāryavācā Śāstra*. Master Xuanzang translated the *Yogācārabhūmi Śāstra*; an imperial decree ordered that it be distributed to the Area Commanders-in-chief of the Nine Circuits, and the Emperor composed the "Preface to the Holy Teaching." Under Gaozong, Buddhatrātā translated the *Complete Enlightenment Sūtra*; an imperial decree ordered Yu Zhining, Left Vice Director of the Department of State Affairs, and Lai Ji, Minister of Personnel, to serve concurrently as translation polishers. An imperial decree ordered Tripiṭaka Master Xuanzang to translate the *Mahāprajñāpāramitā Sūtra* in six hundred rolls. Śramaṇa Huining sailed across the sea to the country of Heling, where he met Zhixian and collated translations of the *Nirvāṇa Sūtra, Latter Portion* in two rolls. An imperial decree instructed Tripiṭaka Master Divākara and Du Xingyi to jointly translate the *Uṣṇīṣa Vijaya Dhāraṇī*, with imperial permission not to avoid national taboos. Empress Wu dispatched an envoy to the country of Khotan to welcome Śikṣānanda, who arrived at the Eastern Capital and retranslated the *Avataṃsaka Sūtra* in eighty rolls (this was the second translation). Under Zhongzong, Chancellor Fang Rong arrived in the South Sea, where he met Pāramiti translating the *Śūraṅgama Sūtra*, and Rong recorded it in his own hand. An imperial decree ordered Tripiṭaka Master Yijing to translate the *Bhaiṣajyaguru Seven Buddhas Sūtra*; the Emperor recorded it in his own hand. An imperial decree ordered Bodhiruci to translate sūtras in the Foguang Hall; the Emperor recorded them in his own hand, while the hundred officials sat in attendance. Bodhiruci translated the *Ratnakūṭa Sūtra*; Wu Pingyi, an academician of the Xiouwen Hall, was appointed Commissioner for Translating Sūtras, and Lu Zangyong and others polished the text. Bodhiruci presented the newly translated sūtras; a vegetarian banquet was bestowed in the Linguang Hall, and court painters were ordered to paint portraits of the translation masters on the palace walls. Under Ruizong, Bodhiruci translated the *Ratnakūṭa Sūtra*; Chancellor Zhang Yue, Vice Minister Lu Xiangxian, Erudite He Zhizhang, and others polished the text. Under Dezong, Bodhiruci presented the *Ratnakūṭa Sūtra* in one hundred and twenty rolls, and the Emperor composed the "Preface to the Holy Teaching." Tripiṭaka Master Prajñā translated the *Avataṃsaka Sūtra*'s chapter on "Pure Conduct," which had been presented by the country of Uḍra; the Emperor personally attended the translation site, examining the text and making corrections. Tripiṭaka Master Prajñā and Master Chengguan presented the newly translated *Avataṃsaka Sūtra* in forty rolls (this was the third translation). Under Xianzong, an imperial decree appointed Remonstrator Meng Jian and others to supervise the translation and polish the text in the Liquan Palace.
