支強梁樓者。中天竺國人也。以前魏陳留王世至洛陽。與曇諦康僧鎧輩譯經。因謂諸僧曰。我昔在西域。嘗往罽賓國。至葱塗源。入其象白山。見達磨達年壽甚高。謂其得法之師師子尊者。嘗為彌羅崛王起難橫害。先難預以其相承大迦葉所傳佛之心印妙法付其同學(達磨達同學)號婆舍斯多也(二十五祖也)復授衣為信。其時即遣往化於南天竺國。支強自謂。亦相識婆舍斯多。然諸祖事迹。自七佛以來至乎二十五祖婆舍斯多。乃此支強之所譯也。

Zhi Jianglianglou was a native of Central India. During the reign of the Prince of Chenliu of the former Wei, he arrived in Luoyang, where he translated scriptures together with Dharmasatya, Saṅghavarman, and others. He then said to the monks: "Formerly, when I was in the Western Regions, I once travelled to Kashmir, reached the source of Congtu, and entered Mount Xiangbai. There I saw Dharmatā, whose years were very advanced. He said that his teacher from whom he received the Dharma, the Venerable Siṃha, had once suffered disastrous and perverse harm brought about by King Mirkul. Before the disaster, [Siṃha] had already transmitted in advance the sublime Dharma of the Buddha's mind-seal handed down in succession from Mahākāśyapa to his fellow disciple (Dharmatā's fellow disciple) named Bāśasita (the twenty-fifth patriarch), also bestowing the robe as proof. At that time he immediately sent him to go and transform in the realm of Southern India." Zhi Jiang claimed that he himself also knew Bāśasita. Thus, the accounts of the various patriarchs, from the Seven Buddhas down to the twenty-fifth patriarch, Bāśasita, were translated by this Zhi Jiang.
