宋高僧傳 4.13

4.13

釋圓測者，未詳氏族也。自幼明敏，慧解縱橫。三藏奘師為慈恩基師講新翻《唯識論》，測賂守門者隱聽，歸則緝綴義章。將欲罷講，測於西明寺鳴鐘召眾，稱講《唯識》。基慊其有奪人之心，遂讓測講訓。奘講《瑜伽》，還同前盜聽受之，而亦不後基也。迨高宗之末，天后之初，應義解之選，入譯經館，眾皆推挹。及翻《大乘顯識》等經，測充證義，與薄塵、靈辯、嘉尚攸方其駕。所著《唯識疏鈔》，詳解經論，天下分行焉。

Shi Yuance's clan name is not known. From youth he was bright and quick, his insightful comprehension expansive and versatile. When Tripiṭaka Master Xuanzang was lecturing on the newly translated Vijñaptimātratā-śāstra for Master Ji of Cien Temple, Yuance bribed the gatekeeper to listen in secret, returning afterward to weave and compose doctrinal essays. When Xuanzang was about to conclude his lectures, Yuance struck the bell at Ximing Temple to assemble the congregation and announced that he would lecture on the Vijñaptimātratā. Ji felt aggrieved that someone had preempted him, but nevertheless conceded to Yuance's lectures and instructions. When Xuanzang lectured on the Yogācārabhūmi, Yuance again secretly listened to and received it as before, yet he was not behind Ji either. Towards the end of Gaozong's reign and the beginning of the Heavenly Empress's era, having responded to the selection for exegetical understanding, he entered the translation institute, where the assembly all deferred to him. When scriptures such as the Mahāyāna-abhidharma-samuccaya were translated, Yuance served as verifier of meaning, running abreast alongside Bochen, Lingbian, and Jiashang. The Weishi shuchao he composed explained sūtras and treatises in detail and circulated throughout the realm.
