11.87

釋僧業,姓王,河內人。幼而聰悟,博涉眾典。後遊長安,從什公受業。見新出《十誦》,遂專功此部。俊發天然,洞盡深奧。什歎曰:「後世之優波離也。」

Shi Sengye, surnamed Wang, was a native of Henei. From youth he was intelligent and perceptive, and widely traversed the various canonical works. Later he traveled to Chang'an and studied under the venerable Kumārajīva. Seeing the newly translated Daśabhāṇavāra-vinaya, he dedicated his efforts exclusively to this text. His brilliance was natural, and he penetrated its depths thoroughly. Kumārajīva praised him, saying, 'He is an Upāli of later generations.'
