十二年，隨駕入洛，復奉詔於福先寺譯《大毘盧遮那經》。其經具足梵文有十萬頌；畏所出者，撮其要耳，曰《大毘盧遮那成佛神變加持經》七卷，沙門寶月譯語，一行筆受，刪綴辭理，文質相半，妙諧深趣，上符佛意，下契根緣，利益要門，斯文為最。又出《蘇婆呼童子經》三卷、《蘇悉地揭羅經》三卷，二經具足呪毘柰耶也，即祕密禁戒焉。若未曾入曼荼羅者，不合輒讀誦，猶未受具人盜聽戒律也。所出《虛空藏菩薩能滿諸願最勝心陀羅尼求聞持法》一卷，即《金剛頂》梵本經《成就一切義圖》略譯少分耳。

> In the twelfth year, following the imperial cortege into Luoyang, he again received an imperial edict to translate the Mahāvairocana Sūtra at Fuxian Temple. The complete Sanskrit text of this sūtra contained one hundred thousand verses; what Śubhakarasiṃha brought forth condensed its essentials, titled the Mahāvairocana-abhisaṃbodhi-vikurvitādhiṣṭhāna-vaipulya-sūtrendrarāja Sūtra in seven fascicles. The śramaṇa Baoyue translated the words, and Yixing received with the brush, editing and arranging the expressions and principles. The literary polish and plainness were balanced, exquisitely harmonizing with the profound intent, according above with the Buddha's intention and suiting below the faculties and conditions; among essential gates of benefit, this text was the foremost. He also translated the Subāhuparipṛcchā Sūtra in three fascicles and the Susiddhikara Sūtra in three fascicles. Both sūtras fully provided the mantra vinaya, which is the esoteric prohibitive precepts. If one has not entered the maṇḍala, one is not permitted to read or recite them casually, just as one who has not received the full precepts may not surreptitiously listen to the vinaya. The one fascicle of the Ākāśagarbha Bodhisattva Dhāraṇī Method for Seeking Memory Retention that he translated was merely a brief portion translated from the Siddham-sarvārtha-citra of the Sanskrit Vajraśekhara Sūtra.
