高僧傳 3.53

3.53

求那毘地，此言安進，本中天竺人。弱年從道，師事天竺大乘法師僧伽斯，聰慧強記，懃於諷誦，諳究大小乘，將二十萬言。兼學外典，明解陰陽，占時驗事，徵兆非一。齊建元初，來至京師，止毘耶離寺，執錫從徒，威儀端肅，王公貴勝，迭相供請。

Guṇavṛddhi, translated as Anjin ("Peaceful Progress"), was originally a man of Madhyadeśa. In his youth, he took up the Way and served as master the Tianzhu Mahāyāna master Saṃghasīha. He was intelligent and had a powerful memory; he was diligent in chanting and had mastered nearly two hundred thousand words of both Mahāyāna and Hīnayāna texts. He also studied non-Buddhist classics, clearly understood yin and yang, and his predictions of the seasons and verification of events were proven correct on many occasions. At the beginning of the Jianyuan reign of the Qi, he came to the capital and stayed at Vaiśālī Temple. Holding a khakkhara and followed by disciples, his deportment was solemn and dignified; princes, dukes, and noble persons took turns inviting him to receive offerings.
