高僧傳 3.42

3.42

畺良耶舍，此云時稱，西域人。性剛直，寡嗜欲，善誦《阿毘曇》，博涉律部，其餘諸經，多所該綜，雖三藏兼明，而以禪門專業。每一遊觀，或七日不起，常以三昧正受，傳化諸國。以元嘉之初，遠冒沙河，萃于京邑，太祖文皇深加歎異。

Kālayaśas, translated as "Famous at the Time," was a man of the Western Regions. He was firm and upright by nature, had few desires, was skilled in reciting the Abhidharma, and read widely in the Vinaya treatises; he was also versed in and synthesized many other sūtras. Although he was thoroughly versed in all three baskets (Tripiṭaka), he specialized in the gate of dhyāna. Whenever he entered contemplation, he would sometimes not rise for seven days, constantly propagating the Dharma across various countries through the correct absorption of samādhi. At the beginning of the Yuanjia era, he braved the Desert of Moving Sands from afar and gathered at the imperial capital. Emperor Taizu (Wen) deeply marveled at him.
