宋高僧傳 3.19

3.19

釋尸羅達摩，華言戒法也，本于闐人。學業該通，善知華梵，居于是國，為大法師。唐貞元中，悟空迴至北庭，其本道節度使楊襲古與龍興寺僧請法為譯主，翻《十地經》。法躬讀梵文并譯語，沙門大震筆受，法超潤文，善信證義，悟空證梵文。又譯《迴向輪經》，翻傳纔畢，繕寫欲終，遇北庭宣慰中使段明秀，事訖，迴與北庭奏事官牛昕、安西奏事官程鍔等相隨入朝。為沙、河不通，取迴鶻路，其梵夾留北庭龍興寺藏。齎所譯唐本至京，即貞元五載也。法譯事方終，却迴豁丹，豁丹一云于遁，此皆嶺北人之呼召耳，若五印度語云瞿薩怛那，華言乳國，亦云地乳也。

Śramaṇa Śīladharma was called Jiefa in Chinese; he was originally a native of Khotan. His learning was comprehensive, and he was skilled in both Chinese and Sanskrit. Living in that country, he was a great Dharma master. During the Zhenyuan era of the Tang, when Wukong returned to Beiting, Yang Xigu, the Military Commissioner of that circuit, along with the monks of Longxing Temple, requested Jiefa to serve as the chief translator to translate the Shidi jing (Daśabhūmika Sūtra). Jiefa personally read the Sanskrit text and translated the language; the śramaṇa Dazhen took it down with the brush; Fachao polished the phrasing; Shanxin certified the meaning; and Wukong certified the Sanskrit text. He also translated the Huixianglun jing. Just as the translation was finished and copying was about to conclude, he met Duan Mingxiu, a palace envoy consoling Beiting. His mission finished, [Duan Mingxiu] returned, accompanying Niu Xin, a reporting officer of Beiting, and Cheng E, a reporting officer of Anxi, to enter the court. Because the Sha and He routes were impassable, they took the Uyghur route, leaving the Sanskrit bundles in the canon of Longxing Temple in Beiting. They brought the translated Chinese texts to the capital, which was the fifth year of Zhenyuan. Just as Jiefa's translation work concluded, he returned to Huodan. Huodan is also called Yutun; these are names used by people north of the mountains, whereas in the languages of the Five Indias it is called Gostana, in Chinese meaning "Kingdom of Milk", or "Earth's Breast".
