（十五　丁卯）　三藏菩提流志卒。春秋一百五十有六。流志南印土國王之子。以讓位出家。高宗聞名有詔要之。以垂拱中至京師。凡四十年。如華嚴寶積經等。皆出其手。帝及重臣敬之如生佛。葬日特給鹵簿羽儀。塔于龍門之西原。賜諡曰開元一切遍知三藏。名德之盛古未有焉。

> (Fifteenth year, dingmao) The Tripiṭaka Master Bodhiruci died at the age of one hundred and fifty-six. Bodhiruci was the son of a king of South India; he yielded the throne and went forth from the household life. Emperor Gaozong heard of his fame and issued an imperial decree inviting him, so he arrived at the capital during the Chuigong reign era (685–688). Over a total of forty years, works such as the Avataṃsaka and Ratnakūṭa Sūtras were all translated by his hand. The Emperor and heavy ministers revered him as a living Buddha. On the day of his burial, an imperial guard of honour and ceremonial regalia were specially provided, and a stūpa was erected on the western plateau of Longmen. He was posthumously granted the title "Tripiṭaka Master of the Kaiyuan Era, Omniscient One." The grandeur of his fame and virtue was unprecedented in antiquity.
