【Zhiqian】An upāsaka of the Yuezhi kingdom. At the end of the Han dynasty, he traveled to Luoyang, thoroughly familiar with scriptures, records, and various arts, and skilled in the languages of various countries. He was tall, thin, and dark, with white eyes and yellow pupils. People of the time said: ‘Master Zhi has yellow in his eyes; though his frame is slender, he is a sack of wisdom.’ Emperor Wulie, recognizing his talent and wisdom, appointed him an Erudite. The scriptures Qian translated deeply grasped the meaning and purport.
