【迦葉摩騰】中印度人，婆羅門種。幼而敏悟，兼有風姿，博學多聞，特明經律，思力精拔，探賾鉤深，敷文析理，義出神表。嘗游西印度，有一小國，請騰講《金光明經》。俄而隣國興師來將踐境，輒有事礙，兵不能進。彼國兵眾，疑有異術，密遣使覘。但見君臣安然共聽，其所講經，明地神王護國之法。於是彼國覩斯神驗，請和求法。時，蔡愔等，殷請於騰，騰與愔等俱來見帝，終于洛陽。

【Kāśyapa Mātaṅga】A native of Central India of the brāhmaṇa caste. In his youth he was perceptive and astute, with an attractive bearing. He was widely learned, exceptionally versed in the sutras and vinaya, profound and outstanding in his thinking, penetrating the subtle and fathoming the profound. In setting forth texts and analyzing principles, his comprehension surpassed the mundane. He once traveled to Western India, where a small state invited Mātaṅga to lecture on the Suvarṇaprabhāsa-sūtra. Soon after, a neighboring state raised an army to invade its borders, but repeatedly met with obstacles and the soldiers could not advance. Suspecting that the state possessed extraordinary arts, they secretly sent spies to observe. They saw only the ruler and ministers peacefully listening together to the scripture he lectured on, which expounded the method by which the Earth Spirit King protects the realm. Seeing this miraculous efficacy, that state sued for peace and sought the Dharma. At that time, Cai Yin and others earnestly invited Mātaṅga, and Mātaṅga came with Yin and the others to see the Emperor, passing away in Luoyang.
