宋高僧傳 2.47

2.47

釋無極高，中印度人，梵云阿地瞿多，華云無極高也。出家氏族未憑書之。高學窮滿字，行潔圓珠，精練五明，妙通三藏。永徽三年壬子歲正月，自西印度齎梵夾來屆長安，勅令慈門寺安置。沙門大乘琮等十六人、英公李世勣、鄂公尉遲德等十二人，同請高於慧日寺浮圖院建陀羅尼普集會壇，所須供辦。法成之日，屢現靈異，京中道俗咸歎希逢。沙門玄楷等固請翻其法本。以四年癸丑至于五年，於慧日寺從《金剛大道場經》中撮要而譯，集成一部，名《陀羅尼集經》一十二卷，玄楷筆受。于時有中印度大菩提寺阿難律木叉師、迦葉師等，於經行寺譯《功德天法》，編在《集經》第十卷內，故不別出焉。

Śramaṇa Wujigao was a native of central India; in Sanskrit his name was Ādigupta, rendered in Chinese as Wujigao (Boundlessly High). The clan of his ordination cannot be determined from records. In his learning, Gao exhausted the full letters (complete teachings); his conduct was pure as a rounded pearl; he was thoroughly versed in the five sciences and wondrously conversant with the Tripiṭaka. In the first month of the third year of the Yonghui era, a renzi year [652 CE], he brought Sanskrit palm-leaf manuscripts from western India and arrived in Chang'an. An imperial edict ordered that he be housed at Cimen Temple. The śramaṇa Dachengcong and others, sixteen people in all, along with Li Shiji, Duke of Ying, Yuchi De, Duke of E, and others, twelve people in all, jointly requested Gao to establish a universal assembly altar for dhāraṇīs in the pagoda precinct of Huiri Temple, and provided all necessary offerings. On the day the rite was completed, supernatural wonders manifested repeatedly, and both clergy and laity in the capital praised it as a rare encounter. The śramaṇa Xuankai and others firmly requested the translation of his ritual texts. From the fourth year, guichou [653 CE], to the fifth year, at Huiri Temple he extracted the essentials from the Vajra-mahāmaṇḍa-sūtra and translated them, compiling them into one work titled Tuoluoni ji jing (Dhāraṇī-samuccaya-sūtra) in twelve fascicles, with Xuankai serving as scribe. At that time, Master Ānandarakṣa, Master Kāśyapa, and others from the Mahābodhi Temple in central India translated the Rite of Śrīmahādevī at Jingxing Temple, which was incorporated into the tenth fascicle of the Samuccaya Scripture, and was therefore not published separately.
