高僧傳 6.69

6.69

什所翻經，叡並參正。昔竺法護出《正法華經．受決品》云：「天見人，人見天。」什譯經至此乃言：「此語與西域義同，但在言過質。」叡曰：「將非人天交接，兩得相見？」什喜曰：「實然。」其領悟標出皆此類也。後出《成實論》，令叡講之。什謂叡曰：「此諍論中有七變處文破《毘曇》，而在言小隱。若能不問而解可謂英才。」至叡啟發幽微，果不諮什，而契然懸會，什歎曰：「吾傳譯經論，得與子相值，真無所恨矣。」著《大智論》、《十二門論》、《中論》等諸序，并著大小《品》、《法華》、《維摩》、《思益》、《自在王禪經》等序，皆傳於世。

In the sūtras translated by Kumārajīva, Sengrui took part in their collation and emendation. Formerly, the 'Receipt of Prophecy' chapter in Dharmarakṣa's translation of the Saddharmapuṇḍarīka-sūtra stated, 'Devas see humans; humans see devas.' When Kumārajīva came to this point during his translation, he remarked, 'This statement agrees with the meaning of the Western Regions, but its phrasing is overly plain.' Sengrui said, 'Could it perhaps mean: "Devas and humans interact, and both are able to see one another"?' Kumārajīva said with delight, 'Indeed it is so!' Sengrui's comprehension and discernment were all of this kind. Later, when the Tattvasiddhi-śāstra was translated, [Kumārajīva] had Sengrui lecture upon it. Kumārajīva said to Sengrui, 'In this debate treatise, there are seven places where the text refutes the Abhidharma, but the phrasing is somewhat concealed. If one can understand it without asking, one may truly be called an exceptional talent.' When Sengrui came to elucidate its subtle mysteries, he indeed did not consult Kumārajīva, yet his understanding coincided tacitly and completely. Kumārajīva sighed and said, 'In transmitting and translating sūtras and treatises, having encountered you, I truly have no regrets!' [Sengrui] composed prefaces to the Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa, the Dvādaśanikāya-śāstra, the Mūlamadhyamakakārikā, and other works; he also composed prefaces to the Larger and Smaller Prajñāpāramitā-sūtras, the Saddharmapuṇḍarīka-sūtra, the Vimalakīrtinirdeśa-sūtra, the Viśeṣacintābrahma-paripṛcchā-sūtra, the Sarvabuddhaviṣayāvatāra-samādhi-sūtra, and other scriptures, all of which circulate in the world.
