竺大力者。第二十三祖鶴勒那之弟子也。以漢獻帝之世至于洛邑。後乃適吳。與康僧會相遇。僧會嘗問大力曰。仁者師誰。曰吾師鶴勒那。僧會曰。鶴勒之徒如仁者幾何人。復有過之者耶。大力曰。似我者三千。若其頴出但一上人耳。其號師子比丘。其人密受正法。與我師繼世。方揚化於北天竺國。

Zhu Dali was a disciple of the twenty-third patriarch, Haklenayaśas. During the reign of Emperor Xian of the Han, he arrived in the city of Luoyang; later he went to Wu, where he met Kang Senghui. Senghui once asked Dali, "Benevolent one, who is your master?" Dali said, "My master is Haklenayaśas." Senghui asked, "Among the disciples of Haklena, how many are like you, benevolent one? And is there anyone who surpasses you?" Dali said, "There are three thousand like me. As for the preeminent one, there is only a single superior person, named Siṃha Bhikṣu. That man secretly received the true Dharma and succeeds to the lineage of my master; he is currently spreading the transformation in the realm of Northern India."
