高僧傳 1.25

1.25

At the Jianchu Monastery, Senghui translated various sūtras, namely the *Ānanda-nimī* (*Anannianmi*), the *Mirror-Faced King* (*Jingmianwang*), the *Chaweiwang*, the *Fanhoushen jing*, and others; he also produced the *Aṣṭasāhasrikā-prajñāpāramitā* (*Xiaopin*), the *Ṣaṭpāramitā-saṃgraha* (*Liudu ji jing*), the *Saṃyukta-avadāna* (*Za piyu jing*), and others. All subtly captured the style of the sūtras, with language and meaning fitting and correct. Furthermore, he transmitted the chanting style of the *Parinirvāṇa-sūtra*, which was clear, melodious, plaintive, and resonant, serving as a model for a whole generation. He also annotated three sūtras—the *Ānāpānasmṛti*, the *Fajing jing* (*Dharmadarśa*), and the *Daoshu jing*—and composed prefaces to the sūtras; their literary style was elegant and apt, and their doctrinal significance subtle and profound, all of which circulate in the world.
