[Faxian] could only abandon himself to the wind and drift with the current. Suddenly arriving at a shore, he saw goosefoot and wild greens looking familiar and thereby knew it was the land of Han, though he did not yet ascertain what place it was. He then boarded a small boat, entered an inlet, and went in search of a village, encountering two hunters. Faxian asked: "What land is this?" The hunters said: "This is the southern shore of Mount Lao in Changguang Commandery of Qingzhou." The hunters returned and reported this to Li Yi, the commandery governor. Li had always been reverent and faithful; suddenly hearing that a śramaṇa had arrived from afar, he personally went out to welcome and console him. Holding his sūtras and statues, Faxian soon wished to return south. At that time the regional inspector requested that he stay for the winter. Faxian said: "This poor monk cast his life into a land of no return with his mind set on propagating [the Dharma]. What I resolved upon is not yet accomplished, so I cannot tarry long." He thereupon traveled south to Jiankang. At Daochang Monastery, under the foreign dhyāna master Buddhabhadra, he translated six works including the Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra, and composed the one-scroll Record of the Journey to India. After Faxian produced the Mahānirvāṇa-sūtra, it was circulated and propagated so that all might see and hear it. There was a family whose name is lost, residing near the Vermilion Bird Gate in the capital of Yang, who had revered orthodoxy for generations. They personally copied a copy to recite and make offerings to; lacking a separate sūtra room, it was kept in the same chamber as miscellaneous secular writings. Later, a sudden wind and fire arose and reached their house. All their possessions were consumed, yet only the Nirvāṇa-sūtra remained intact and complete. Neither ash nor cinder damaged it, and the color of the scrolls was unaltered. This was transmitted throughout the capital of Yang, and all hailed it as miraculous. Later he traveled to Jingzhou and passed away at Xin Monastery at the age of eighty-six. The assembly all grieved and mourned for him. / The Pusa shizhu jing (Bodhisattva Ten Abodes Sūtra), 1 scroll (a variant translation of the "Ten Abodes" chapter of the Avataṃsaka; found in Changfang's catalogue). / The Bao Rulai sanmei jing (Precious Tathāgata Samādhi Sūtra), 2 scrolls (also in 1 scroll; also titled Wuji bao sanmei jing; second translation, of the same Indic text as the Wuji bao jing; found in Fang's catalogue). / The Da zhidu jing (Great Wisdom-Crossing Sūtra), 4 scrolls (fifth translation, of the same Indic text as Lokakṣema's Daoxing jing and the fourth assembly of the Mahāprajñāpāramitā-sūtra, etc.; Fang states it is found in the New Catalogue of the South). / The Pumenpin jing (Universal Gate Chapter Sūtra), 1 scroll (first translation, of the same Indic text as Dharmarakṣa's Pumen pin and the Mañjuśrī-pumen assembly of the Ratnakūṭa; found in Sengyou's catalogue and Zhu Daozu's catalogue). / The Ashuda jing (Aśokadattā-sūtra), 1 scroll (third translation, of the same Indic text as the Abhayadattā assembly of the Ratnakūṭa; found in Changfang's catalogue). / The Ruhan sanmei jing (Illusion-like Samādhi Sūtra), 2 scrolls (third translation, of the same Indic text as An Shigao's Ruhan sanmei and the Bhadramāyākāra assembly of the Ratnakūṭa; found in Zhu Daozu's Jin Catalogue). / The Mile suowen benyuan jing (Sūtra on the Fundamental Vows Questioned by Maitreya), 1 scroll (second translation, of the same Indic text as Dharmarakṣa's Mile benyuan and the Maitreyaparipṛcchā assembly of the Ratnakūṭa; found in Changfang's catalogue). / The Shidi jing (Ten Stages Sūtra), 1 scroll (third translation, of the same Indic text as Dharmarakṣa's Pusa shidi jing, etc.; found in Changfang's catalogue). / The Weimojie jing (Vimalakīrti-sūtra), 4 scrolls (fifth translation, of the same Indic text as Yan Fotiao's Ancient Vimalakīrti, etc.; Fang states it is found in the New Catalogue of the South). / The Wusuoxiwang jing (Non-Expectation Sūtra), 1 scroll (third translation, of the same Indic text as the Xiangye jing [Hastyakṣya], etc.; found in Changfang's catalogue). / The Fuguang jing (Floating Light Sūtra), 1 scroll (or written as Ruguang; fourth translation, of the same Indic text as the Duzi jing; found in Fang's catalogue). / The Rulai duzheng zishi sanmei jing (Sūtra on the Tathāgata's Self-Vowed Samādhi of Sole Realization), 1 scroll (third translation, of the same Indic text as An Shigao's Zishi sanmei jing; found in Changfang's catalogue). / The Puxian guan jing (Sūtra on the Contemplation of Samantabhadra), 1 scroll (first translation; also titled Guan Puxian pusa; Fang states it is found in Daohui's catalogue). / The Yingluo jing (Necklace Sūtra), 12 scrolls (also titled Xianqianbao; first translation, of the same Indic text as Zhu Fonian's Pusa yingluo; or in 14 scrolls; Fang states it is found in the New Catalogue of the South). / The Zhaoming sanmei jing (Luminous Samādhi Sūtra), 1 scroll (second translation; found in Changfang's catalogue). / The Chan jing (Meditation Sūtra), 4 scrolls (Fang states it is found in the New Catalogue of the South). / The Famo jin jing (Sūtra on the Extinction of the Dharma), 1 scroll (found in Changfang's catalogue). / The Pusa zhengzhai jing (Sūtra on the Bodhisattva's Upavasatha), 1 scroll (third translation; found in Changfang's catalogue). / The Weige zhangzhe liuxiang bai jing (Sūtra on Elder Weige's Worship in the Six Directions), 1 scroll (or written as Weihua; second translation; found in Changfang's catalogue; a variant translation from chapter 33 of the Madhyamāgama). / The Zhiman jing (Aṅgulimāla-sūtra), 1 scroll (or written as Zhiji; a variant translation from chapter 31 of the Ekottarikāgama; found in Changfang's catalogue). / The Suoyu zhihuan jing (Sūtra on Desires Bringing Affliction), 1 scroll (second translation; found in Changfang's catalogue). / The Wugai yijie shixing jing (Sūtra on the Five Hindrances, Doubt-Fetters, and Moral Lapses), 1 scroll (second translation; found in Changfang's catalogue). / The Fenwei jing (Piṇḍapāta Sūtra), 1 scroll (found in Changfang's catalogue). / Total for the right: twenty-three works in forty-five scrolls (the first two works in three scrolls are extant; the twenty-one works in forty-one scrolls following the Da zhidu are missing). / The śramaṇa Jītamitra (祇多蜜, or 祇蜜多), translated into Jin as "Ge Zhi" (Singer-Branch), was a native of the Western Regions.

Thereupon, during the Jin dynasty, he translated twenty-three works including the Pusa shizhu jing.
