[Dharmayaśas] Here translated as "Dharma Fame" (Facheng). A native of Jibin. In his youth he was fond of learning, and as he grew up he became ever more earnest. Possessing a lofty and refined spirit, he broadly surveyed the sūtras and vinaya, cultivated contemplation through the eight dhyānas, and immersed his mind in the seven factors of awakening. His clear discernment surpassed the ordinary, and his profound insight saw beyond outer appearances. Wishing to seek the fruit through ascetic practice, a god said to him: "Why not look across the regions to propagate the transformation, rather than solely holding fast to minor goodness?" Thereupon he traveled through various kingdoms and translated sūtras such as the Zhama [jing].
