[Baoyun] Having realized the second fruit, he was a native of Western Liangzhou. From his youth he renounced household life, diligent and erudite, with a resolute and pure resolve, not mingling with worldly crowds. In seeking the Dharma, he was earnest and devout, forgetting himself in devotion to the Way. In the early Long'an reign era of the Jin, he traveled west to seek the sacred traces, passing through the wilderness of rākṣasas, hearing the sound of celestial drums, paying homage to the shadow-trace of Śākyamuni, and receiving the words of arhats. Traveling through the Western Regions, he was skilled in Sanskrit script and language. The pronunciations of Indian letters and the explanations of words and sentences were all fully understood by him. Later he came to Chang'an, and further went to the Jiangzuo region.
