高僧傳 11.89

11.89

Formerly, while the venerable Kumārajīva was in Guan[zhong], he had not yet translated the Daśabhāṇavāra[-vinaya], so he first translated the Prātimokṣa. Only when [Dharmaru]ci entered Qin was the great work transmitted. Therefore, although the meaning of the Prātimokṣa and the full text were identical, the phrasing occasionally differed. Ye then corrected it entirely according to the full text. In today’s transmission and recitation, both versions circulate together. Ye passed away in Wu during the eighteenth year of Yuanjia at the age of seventy-five.
