高僧傳 1.60

1.60

耶舍善誦《毘婆沙律》，人咸號為「大毘婆沙」，時年已八十五，徒眾八十五人。時有清信女張普明，諮受佛法，耶舍為說《佛生緣起》，并為譯出《差摩經》一卷。至義熙中，來入長安。時姚興僣號，甚崇佛法，耶舍既至，深加禮異。會有天竺沙門曇摩掘多，來入關中，同氣相求，宛然若舊，因共耶舍譯《舍利弗阿毘曇》，以偽秦弘始九年初書梵書文，至十六年，翻譯方竟，凡二十二卷。偽太子姚泓親管理味，沙門道標為之作序。

Dharmayaśas was skilled at reciting the Vibhāṣā-vinaya, and people all called him the "Great Vibhāṣā." At that time he was already eighty-five years old, with eighty-five disciples. At that time there was a female lay devotee named Zhang Puming who inquired about and received the Buddhadharma; Dharmayaśas explained the Nidāna of the Buddha's Birth to her and also translated the *Kṣema-sūtra* in one fascicle. In the Yixi era he came to Chang'an. At that time Yao Xing had claimed the imperial title and deeply revered the Buddhadharma; when Dharmayaśas arrived, Yao Xing treated him with extraordinary courtesy. It happened that the Indian śramaṇa Dharmagupta also entered Guanzhong; being kindred spirits, they were naturally as close as old friends. Together with Dharmayaśas, he translated the *Śāriputrābhidharma*. In the ninth year of the Hongshi era of the illegitimate Qin, they began copying the Sanskrit text, and only in the sixteenth year was the translation completed, in a total of twenty-two fascicles. The illegitimate crown prince Yao Hong personally oversaw its flavor and meaning, and the śramaṇa Daobiao composed a preface for it.
