As for the Upādhyāya, Tripiṭaka Master Amoghavajra of the Great Tang—Specially Advanced, Probationary Chief Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial, Granted the Title of Kai-fu yi-tong san-si, Enfeoffed as the Duke of the State of Su, Posthumously Awarded the Office of Sikong, and Bestowed the Posthumous Name of Great Eloquent Correctness and Great Extensive Wisdom—he was a native of the Lion Country in South India. His Dharma name was Zhizang, and he was known as Amoghavajra. Because his clan name has not been heard, it is not recorded here. Reckoning [his birth], he was born in the first year of the Shenlong era of the Great Tang, the yisi year [705 CE]. Endowed by nature with intelligence, he aspired to the Way while still young. Leaving his parents far behind, he shaved his hair and donned the dyed robes. By the sixth year of the Kaiyuan era, the wuwu year [718 CE], when he was just fourteen years of age, he met the Tripiṭaka Master Vajrabodhi, who was propagating the teachings in the country of Jāva, and served him as his master. Accompanying his master across the Southern Sea, he sailed through danger, amidst frightening waves and surging billows, [following him] like a shadow following a form. Only in the eighth year of the Kaiyuan era did they reach the Eastern Capital of Luoyang. In the twelfth year, the jiazi year [724 CE], upon reaching the age of twenty, he received full ordination (upasampadā) at Guangfu Monastery according to the Sarvāstivāda stone ordination platform. Thenceforth, he listened to and studied the vinaya rules and the Chinese and Indic sūtras and treatises, translating their words alongside his master, gradually gaining mastery over them. He accompanied the imperial cortege between the two capitals and engaged in translation in response to imperial edicts. Never departing from his master's side, he lifted his robes and approached his seat to seek instruction, not neglecting his inquiries for even a moment. This continued until the nineteenth year, the xinwei year [731 CE].
