Vinaya Master. An Indian Venerable named Vimalākṣa (translated here as "Stainless Eye") arrived in Qin for several years, and now traveled east of the pass, widely elucidating the vinaya. That the Daśabhāṇavāra-prātimokṣa and Vinaya Piṭaka translated by Kumārajīva circulated widely was due to the efforts of Vimalākṣa. The Two Fascicles on the Relative Severity of Internal and External Prohibitions that he composed currently circulates in the world. Vimalākṣa's eyes were blue-green, so people at the time called him the "Blue-Eyed Vinaya Master" (from his biography).
