高僧傳 1.43

1.43

帛尸梨密多羅，此云吉友，西域人，時人呼為高座。傳云：國王之子，當承繼世，而以國讓弟闇軌太伯。既而悟心天啟，遂為沙門。密天姿高朗，風神超邁，直爾對之，便卓出於物。

Śrīmitra—which translates as 'Auspicious Friend'—was a man of the Western Regions, called 'Gaozuo' (High Seat) by the people of the day. Tradition says he was the son of a king and ought to have inherited the throne, but he abdicated the kingdom to his younger brother, secretly conforming to the model of Taibo. Soon after, his awakened mind was divinely inspired, and he became a śramaṇa. Śrīmitra's natural temperament was lofty and lucid, his manner and bearing transcendent; merely confronting him, one felt he rose far above worldly things.
