three fascicles (The Detailed Catalogue says one fascicle; or simply called Tridharmaka-śāstra without the character 'śāstra'; or called sūtra; or called sūtra-śāstra; see Sengyou's catalogue);
Rules for Instructing Bhikṣuṇīs, one fascicle (Fei Changfang says it is found in the Detailed Catalogue, also stating that it was produced at Mount Lu).
The five works above in one hundred and eighteen fascicles (the texts of the first four works in one hundred and seventeen fascicles are extant; the text of the latter one work in one fascicle is missing).
Śramaṇa Gautama Saṅghadeva, rendered in Jin as Zhongtian ('Multitude of Gods'), or called Tihe, which is due to phonetic corruption. A native of the country of Kashmīr. Having entered the Way and pursued training, he sought enlightened masters from afar. Learned and proficient in the Tripiṭaka, he recited and held much of it. He was particularly adept in the Abhidharmahṛdaya, penetrating its subtle principles. He constantly chanted the Tridharmaka day and night, savoring it and regarding it as the treasury of the Way. In character he was exceptional and bright, possessing deep insight. His deportment was warm and courteous, and he dedicated himself to teaching others, inquiring diligently without weariness.
During the Jianyuan era of Fu Qin, he arrived in Chang'an, spreading the transformation of the Dharma and translating two treatises, which are fully recorded in the Qin catalogue. Later, in the sixteenth year of Taiyuan, xinmao (391), under Emperor Xiaowu of the Jin, he traveled to preach south of the Yangtze River. Prior to this, Dharma Master Huiyuan of Mount Lu had been diligently seeking wondrous scriptures and extensively amassing the canon of sūtras, humbly reserving a seat in anticipation of distant guests. Hearing of his arrival, Huiyuan immediately invited him to Mount Lu. In that very year, he requested him to produce the Abhidharmahṛdaya, the Tridharmaka, and other works. Saṅghadeva then, at the Prajñā Platform, held the Indic text in hand and proclaimed it orally in the Jin language, stripping away flowery rhetoric to preserve substance and striving to fully convey the fundamental meaning. What is transmitted today is indeed that version. In the first year of Long'an, dingyou (397), under Emperor An, he traveled to Jiankang. Among the princes, dukes, and refined luminaries of the Jin court, none failed to approach his seat to pay homage. At that time, the Prefect of the Masters of Writing, General of the Guard, and Marquis of Dongting, Wang Xun of Langya (According to the Biographies of Eminent Monks, Sengyou's catalogue, Fei Changfang's catalogue, etc., all say Wang Xun; the preface to the Madhyama-āgama says Wang Yuanlin, Yuanlin being Xun's courtesy name),
possessed an innate faith and wisdom. Upholding the true Dharma, he established a vihāra and widely assembled students. After Saṅghadeva arrived, Xun promptly invited him and thereupon had him expound the Abhidharma in his residence. Renowned monks gathered completely. Since Saṅghadeva's doctrinal tenets were refined and his phrasing clear and distinct, bringing to light profound meanings, the assembly was all delighted and enlightened. In the winter of that year, Xun assembled over forty doctrinal monks including Shi Huichi and further requested Saṅghadeva to translate the Madhyama-āgama and Ekottarika-āgama in the monastery. The Kashmiri śramaṇa Saṅgharakṣa held the Indic text, and Saṅghadeva translated it into the Jin language, completing it by the following summer. The śramaṇa Daoci of Yuzhou acted as scribe, and Li Bao and Tang Hua of the state of Wu transcribed it together. In the two locations of Mount Lu and Jiankang, Saṅghadeva produced a total of five works in one hundred and eighteen fascicles. Saṅghadeva had traveled extensively among both Chinese and border peoples, fully understanding customs. Composed, alert, and skilled in witty conversation, there was none who had not heard of his preaching and renown. It is not known where he died.

His father Dharmasūrya (here translated as Fari, 'Dharma Sun') died young. The Tripiṭaka Master Buddhabhadra was orphaned and lived with his mother; after five years he lost his mother as well and was raised by his maternal relatives. His great-uncle Kumāri heard of his cleverness and, mourning his
