4.12

The śramaṇa Dharmaruci—in Chinese, Faxi, also called Fale—was a native of South India. Leaving home to enter the Way, he was particularly renowned for his knowledge of the Vinayapiṭaka. Making the propagation of the Way his primary duty, he responded and acted according to circumstance. Traveling to Wei's Luoyang, in the second year of the Jingming era of Emperor Xuanwu of the Wei, the year xinsi [501 CE], he translated the Rulai zhuangyan zhihui guangming ru zhufou jingjie jing (two fascicles). In the first year of the Zhengshi era, the year jiashen [504 CE], he translated the Xinli ru yin famen jing (five fascicles). In the fourth year, dinghai [507 CE], he translated the Jinse wang jing (one fascicle). The śramaṇa Daobao served as scribe.
