出三藏記集 10.57

10.57

昔如來泥洹之後。於秦漢之間。有尊者法勝。造阿毘曇心本。凡有二百五十偈。以為十品。後至晉中興之世。復有尊者達摩多羅。更增三百五十偈。以為十一品。號曰雜心。十品篇目仍舊為名。唯別立擇品篇以為異耳。位序品次依四諦為義。界品直說法相。以擬苦諦。行業使三品多論生死之本以擬習諦。賢聖所說斷結證滅之義。以擬滅諦。智定二品多說無漏之道。以擬道諦。自後諸品雜明上事。更無別體也。於宋元嘉十一年甲戌之歲。有外國沙門。名曰三藏。觀化遊此。其人先於大國綜習斯經。於是眾僧請令出之。即以其年九月。於宋都長干寺集諸學士。法師雲公譯語。法師觀公筆受。考挍治定。周年乃訖鏡以不才謬豫聽末。雖思不及玄而時有淺解。今謹率所聞以示後生。至於折中以俟明哲。於會稽始寧山徐支江精舍撰訖。

In the past, after the Tathāgata's nirvāṇa, between the Qin and Han periods, the Venerable Dharmaśreṣṭhin composed the original *Abhidharmahṛdaya*, with a total of 250 gāthās divided into ten chapters. Later, in the era of the Jin restoration, the Venerable Dharmatrāta further added 350 gāthās to make eleven chapters, entitled *Saṃyukta-hṛdaya*. The titles of the ten chapters were retained from the old, with only the 'Investigation' chapter established separately as an innovation. The sequence and order of the chapters are arranged according to the meaning of the Four Truths: the 'Realm' chapter directly expounds the characteristics of dharmas to correspond to the Truth of Suffering; the three chapters on 'Action', 'Karmic Activity', and 'Latent Tendency' mostly discuss the root of birth and death to correspond to the Truth of Arising; the meaning of severing fetters and realizing cessation spoken of by the noble and holy corresponds to the Truth of Cessation; and the two chapters on 'Knowledge' and 'Concentration' mostly expound the uncontaminated path to correspond to the Truth of the Path. From then on, the various subsequent chapters mix and clarify the above matters, having no other separate essence. In the eleventh year of Yuanjia of the Song, the jiaxu year, there was a foreign śramaṇa named Tripiṭaka who, observing the transformation [of beings], traveled here. He had previously studied and mastered this scripture in a great kingdom; thereupon, the assembly of monks invited him to produce it. In the ninth month of that year, scholars were assembled at the Changgan Monastery in the Song capital. Dharma Master Baoyun translated the spoken words, and Dharma Master Huiguan served as scribal recorder. They examined, collated, and edited it, completing it after a full year. Incompetent as I am, Jing improperly participated at the end of the audience; though my thoughts did not reach the profound, I occasionally had shallow understandings. Now I reverently follow what I heard to present it to future generations, leaving the final judgment to the wise. Completed at the Xuzhijiang Hermitage on Mount Shining in Kuaiji.
