9.67

中印度沙門曇摩迦羅者。以魏黃初壬寅之三年。至乎許昌。初視僧威儀不整頗歎之。謂其不識法律。當時許昌有僧曰光璨者。賢於其眾能善遇之。乃禮而問迦羅曰。師於西國所見何者勝師。乃以何法住持。幸以見教。迦羅曰。西土凡有二大勝僧。一曰摩拏羅。二曰鶴勒那。我皆禮遇。二大士者皆傳正法以法住持。預其眾者寡不莊整。然二大士俱得聖道。而異德皆不可測。摩拏羅者。始於那提國以神通力一鼓其腹。乃能威伏百萬惡象。及其出家。教化於西印度。於其國辨塔指泉。皆有驗効（事具其本傳）鶴勒那乃其繼世之弟子也。大興佛事於中天竺國。及其寂滅四眾焚之。將分去其舍利。鶴勒那復能示現。說偈誡之。不容其分（偈亦具其本傳）光璨曰。其滅度久耶近乎。迦羅曰。十二年矣。光璨曰。西國歲曆頗與此同乎。迦羅曰。號謂雖異。而氣候不別也。遂說五天竺之曆數云云。迦葉尋亦西還。光璨即傳其事。後之為僧傳者。得以書之。

The śramaṇa Dharmakāla of Central India arrived in Xuchang in the third year (the renyin year) of the Huangchu era of the Wei. Observing at first that the monks' deportment was untidy, he lamented it greatly, considering that they did not know the monastic law. At that time, there was a monk in Xuchang named Guangcan, who was superior among that assembly and capable of treating him well; he then paid homage and asked Dharmakāla: "What superior masters did the master see in the Western countries? What Dharma did they use to maintain the lineage? Pray instruct me." Dharmakāla said: "In the Western lands there are two great and superior monks: one is named Manorhita, and the second is named Haklenayaśas. I have paid homage to and met both. Both great beings transmitted the true Dharma and maintained the lineage by means of the Dharma. Few among those in their assemblies were not dignified and orderly. Moreover, both great beings attained the holy path, and their extraordinary virtues could not be measured. Manorhita, while originally in the country of Nadī, once used his supernatural power to strike his belly, thereby subduing a million fierce elephants. When he left household life, he taught and transformed people in Western India; in that country, his identification of stūpas and pointing out of springs were all efficacious (the matter is detailed in his biography). Haklenayaśas was his disciple who succeeded to his generation. He greatly promoted Buddhist endeavors in the country of Central India. When he entered quiescent extinction, the fourfold assembly cremated him and were about to divide his relics, but Haklenayaśas manifested again, preached a gāthā to admonish them, and would not allow them to be divided (the gāthā is also detailed in his biography)." Guangcan asked: "Was his extinction long ago or recent?" Dharmakāla said: "It has been twelve years." Guangcan said: "Is the calendar of the Western countries somewhat the same as here?" Dharmakāla said: "Although the designations differ, the seasons do not vary." He then spoke about the calendrical calculations of the Five Indias, and so forth. Dharmakāla also soon returned to the West. Guangcan thereupon transmitted these matters, and later authors of monastic biographies were able to record them.
