釋佛陀多羅,華言覺救,北天竺罽賓人也。齎多羅夾,誓化支那,止洛陽白馬寺,譯出《大方廣圓覺了義經》。此經近譯,不委何年,且隆道為懷,務甄詐妄,但真詮不謬,豈假具知年月耶?救之行迹,莫究其終。大和中,圭峯密公著疏判解,經本一卷,後分二卷成部,續又為鈔,演暢幽邃。今東京、太原、三蜀盛行講演焉。
The śramaṇa Buddhatrāta, translated into Chinese as Juejiu, was a native of Kashmir in North India. Carrying palm-leaf bundles, he vowed to convert China; residing at Baima Temple in Luoyang, he translated the *Great Vaipulya Sutra of Complete Enlightenment of the Definitive Meaning* (*Mahāvaipulyapūrṇabuddhasūtraprasanārthasūtra*). This scripture was translated in recent times, but the exact year is not known; however, keeping the exaltation of the Way in mind, one's concern is to discern falsehood and delusion: if the true meaning is unerring, what need is there to fully know the year and month? The end of Juejiu's life cannot be determined. During the Dahe era, Master Mi of Guifeng composed a commentary and exposition; the scripture original was in one fascicle, later divided into two fascicles to make a set, and he subsequently composed subcommentaries (*chao*) expounding its profound depths. Today, lectures on it flourish in the Eastern Capital, Taiyuan, and the three regions of Shu.
