高僧傳 6.67

6.67

後入關中，姚興大加禮接。及什至長安，影往從之。什謂興曰：「昨見影公，亦是此國風流標望之僧也。」興勅住逍遙園，助什譯經。初出《成實論》，凡諍論問答，皆次第往反。影恨其支離，乃結為五番，竟以呈什。什曰：「大善，深得吾意。」什後出《妙法華經》，影既舊所命宗，特加深思，乃著《法華義疏》四卷，并注《中論》。後山棲隱處，守節塵外，修功立善，愈老愈篤。以晉義熙中卒，春秋七十矣。

Later he entered Guanzhong, where Yao Xing received him with great courtesy. When Kumārajīva arrived in Chang'an, Tanying went to follow him. Kumārajīva said to Yao Xing, "Yesterday I met Master Ying; he is also a monk of distinguished renown and exemplary style in this country." Yao Xing ordered him to reside in the Xiaoyao Garden to assist Kumārajīva in translating sūtras. When the Tattvasiddhi-śāstra was first translated, all debates and questions were exchanged sequentially; Tanying deplored its disjointed nature and condensed it into five sections, which he presented to Kumārajīva. Kumārajīva said, "Excellent! This thoroughly accords with my intent." When Kumārajīva later translated the Saddharmapuṇḍarīka-sūtra, because Tanying had previously taken it as his core teaching, he gave it especially deep consideration, composing a four-fascicle Commentary on the Meaning of the Lotus Sūtra and annotating the Madhyamaka-śāstra. Later he lived as a hermit in the mountains, maintaining his discipline beyond the dust of the world, cultivating merit and establishing good deeds with ever greater devotion as he grew older. He died during the Yixi reign of the Jin dynasty at the age of seventy.
