宋高僧傳 2.45

2.45

釋尊法，西印度人也，梵云伽梵達磨，華云尊法。遠踰沙磧，來抵中華，有傳譯之心，堅化導之願。天皇永徽之歲，翻出《千手千眼觀世音菩薩廣大圓滿無礙大悲心陀羅尼經》一卷。經題但云西天竺伽梵達磨譯，不標年代。推其本末，疑是永徽、顯慶中也。又準《千臂經序》云：「智通同此三藏譯也。」法後不知其終。

Śramaṇa Zunfa was a native of western India; in Sanskrit his name was Bhagavaddharma, rendered in Chinese as Zunfa (Revering the Dharma). Crossing far over the sand and gravel, he reached China with the intention to transmit and translate, and with a firm vow to transform and guide. During the Yonghui era [650–655] of Heavenly Emperor (Gaozong), he translated the one-fascicle Qianshou qianyan Guanshiyin pusa guangda yuanman wu'ai dabeixin tuoluoni jing (Sahasrabhuja-sahasranetra-avalokiteśvara-bodhisattva-mahāpūrṇa-apratihata-mahākāruṇika-dhāraṇī-sūtra). The scripture title merely states that it was translated by Bhagavaddharma of western India, without indicating the year. Deducing its course, it was suspected to have been during the Yonghui or Xianqing eras. Furthermore, according to the Preface to the Thousand-Armed Scripture, it says: "Zhitong translated this together with this Tripiṭaka Master." The end of Zunfa's life is unknown.
