（五）　秦主姚萇者。西戎羌也。符堅之敗。萇為宿將率其部屬反叛。堅與之戰不利。遂為萇縊殺之于佛寺。萇襲其位都雍關。改長安為常安。在御八年。符堅領鬼兵白日入宮刺中其陰。出血石餘而崩。子興即位。降帝號而稱天王。未幾干戈寢息風化大行。嘉祥沓現。及樹連理剏生於殿庭。咸謂智人入國之瑞乃遣姚碩德伐涼呂隆。迎羅什法師至。秦主深加禮遇待以國師。大闡經論。震旦宣譯至符秦并什法師等。兩朝出經律論三藏。凡八百餘卷云。

(5) The Qin ruler Yao Chang was a Qiang of the Western Rong. Upon Fu Jian's defeat, Chang, who was a veteran commander, led his subordinates in rebellion. Jian engaged him in battle without success, and was ultimately strangled to death by Chang in a Buddhist temple. Chang inherited his position, establishing his capital at Yongguan and changing the name of Chang'an to Chang'an [using the character 'Constant']. After reigning for eight years, Fu Jian, leading ghost soldiers in broad daylight, entered the palace and struck him in his genitals. He bled more than a dan and passed away. His son [Yao] Xing ascended the throne, lowered the imperial title, and called himself Heavenly King. Before long, warfare ceased and moral transformation prevailed widely. Auspicious omens repeatedly appeared, and twin-trunked trees joined in trunk newly grew in the palace courtyard. Everyone claimed it was an auspicious sign of a wise man entering the state. He thereupon sent Yao Shuode to attack Lü Long of Liang and welcome Dharma Master Kumārajīva. The Qin ruler treated him with profound courtesy, regarding him as National Preceptor, and broadly propagated the sutras and treatises. Translating and propagating in the land of Cīnasthāna up through Fu Jian's Qin along with Master Kumārajīva and others, the two courts produced more than eight hundred fascicles of the Tripiṭaka of sutras, vinaya, and treatises.
