The above seven works in fifty-two fascicles were translated in the city of Ye during the reign of Emperor Ming of the Zhou by Narendrayaśas, the Controller of Śramaṇas of the Gao Qi and Tripiṭaka Master from the country of Uḍḍiyāna in North India—translated into Qi as "Zuncheng" (Renowned Honour). Dharmajñāna—translated into Qi as "Fazhi" (Dharma Wisdom)—the eldest son of Gautama Prajñāruci, the Metropolitan Overseer of Monks of the Zhaoxuan Office, served as interpreter.
Sūtra of the Questions of the Bodhisattva Viśiṣṭacāritra (also titled Dhāraṇī-sūtra of Entering the Immeasurable Gate)
The above work was translated in the city of Ye during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Zhou by Wan Tianyi, a lay devotee of the Gao Qi. Tianyi was originally of Xianbei origin, with the clan name Moqi. In his youth he went forth as a novice and served a Brahmin master. Being exceptionally intelligent and wise, he was skilled in the Sanskrit script and language, and adept in dhāraṇī techniques and medicine; hence he took part in the translation work.
