沙門釋智猛。雍州新豐縣人。稟性端厲明行清白。少襲法服修業專誠。諷誦之音以夜續日。志度宏邈情深佛法西尋靈迹。以北涼永和年中自西而返。塗經玉門即於涼土譯。般泥洹經一部（二十卷）。

The śramaṇa Shi Zhimeng was a native of Xinfeng County in Yongzhou. By nature upright and strict, his illustrious conduct was pure and flawless. Taking up monastic robes in his youth, he cultivated the practice with complete sincerity, his voice of chanting continuing from night into day. His resolve and magnanimity were vast, and his deep affection for the Buddha's Dharma prompted him to travel west in search of holy sites. Returning from the west during the Yonghe era of the Northern Liang, his route passed through the Jade Gate (Yumen), and right there in the Liang lands he translated: the Ban nihuan jing, one work (twenty fascicles).
