(十七) 元興元年。天竺弗多羅尊者至秦。義學沙門數百人從之。於中寺出十誦梵本。什公翻譯。及半而弗多卒。會沙門曇摩流支至。亦善毘尼。匡山遠公聞而喜。走書關中勸流支出其律足成之。流支乃與什公續而終焉。律儀大備自此而始。

(17) In the first year of the Yuanxing era, the Venerable Puṇyatāra of Tianzhu arrived in Qin, followed by several hundred śramaṇas of doctrinal learning. At the Middle Monastery, he produced the Sanskrit text of the Sarvāstivāda-vinaya (Ten Recitations Vinaya), and Master [Kumāra]jīva translated it. When halfway through, Puṇyatāra passed away. It happened that the śramaṇa Dharmaruci arrived, who was also skilled in the vinaya. Master [Hui]yuan of Mount Kuang was delighted to hear of this and dispatched a letter to Guanzhong urging [Dharma]ruci to bring forth the rest of the vinaya and complete it. Ruci thereupon continued with Master [Kumāra]jīva to finish it. The full perfection of the monastic vinaya began from this time.
