高僧傳 1.35

1.35

時有清信士聶承遠，明解有才，篤志務法，護公出經，多參正文句。《超日明經》初譯，頗多煩重，承遠刪正，得今行二卷。其所詳定，類皆如此。承遠有子道真，亦善梵學，此君父子，比辭雅便，無累於古。又有竺法首、陳士倫、孫伯虎、虞世雅等，皆共承護旨，執筆詳校。

At that time there was the pure-believing layman Nie Chengyuan, who was discerning and talented, devout in spirit, and dedicated to the Dharma. Whenever Master Dharmarakṣa produced sūtras, he would frequently assist in correcting the sentences. When the Chaoriming jing was first translated, it was rather redundant and cumbersome; Chengyuan pruned and corrected it, yielding the two fascicles currently circulating. His editorial decisions were generally of this nature. Chengyuan had a son, Daozhen, who was also proficient in Sanskrit learning; this father and son produced phrasing that was elegant and apt, free of archaisms. In addition, Zhu Fashou, Chen Shilun, Sun Bohu, Yu Sheya, and others all received Dharmarakṣa's instructions together, taking brush in hand to carefully proofread.
