As for the *Collection of Translated Names and Meanings*, it was compiled by Great Master Purun Fayun of Jingde Temple in Gusu. This book came to this country many years ago; hence it was printed and handed down through the generations from early on. Now, comparing a Tang [dynasty Chinese] edition against the expanded edition, there were many missing tablets; therefore, it was collated and revised to supplement what was omitted. Furthermore, Japanese reading marks were added at the side; as these marks were not uniform, scholars from various places were requested to collate and transcribe them. Knowing for certain that there are correct points and errors, we respectfully await discerning people to make additions and corrections. We have engaged craftsmen to carve the printing blocks in order to broaden its transmission.
