The śramaṇa Dharmamati—in Chinese, Fayi—was a native of the Western Regions. Profound in his responsiveness to beings, he adapted his instruction to circumstances. In the eighth year of the Yongming era of Emperor Wu of the Qi, the year xinwei [491 CE], he translated for the śramaṇa Faxian at Waguan Monastery in Yangzhou: the Guanshiyin chanhui chuzui zhou jing (one fascicle) and the Devadatta Chapter, the Thirteenth, of the Lotus Sūtra (one fascicle).
