聖善住意天子所問經翻譯之記
Record of the Translation of the Sutra of the Questions of the Holy and Virtuous Heavenly Prince Susthitamati
夫法留正像，唯聖是依；季行此世，非賢豈伏？三藏法師毘目智仙，出自烏萇剎利王種，幼履慈蹤，長躡悲跡，攝化群迷，誡惡導善，常為眾生不請之友，執此法燈照彼昏闇。魏皇都鄴，崇福以資，興和二年歲次實沈，佛法加持出此經典，名「善住意天子所問」。建午閏月朔次丁丑，戊寅建功，乙巳畢功。助譯弟子瞿曇流支、對譯沙門曇林之筆，庶俟存道敬法之賢，如實印記，示令不惑耳。
The Dharma endures through the True and Semblance Ages, relying solely on the sages. In this declining era, who but the wise can uphold it? The Tripitaka Master Vimoksaprajñarṣi, born of the Kṣatriya royal lineage of Udyāna, trod the path of compassion from youth and followed the trail of mercy as he grew. He guided the confused multitude, admonishing evil and leading to goodness, ever acting as the uninvited friend to all beings, holding this lamp of Dharma to illuminate their darkness.
In the capital of Ye of the Wei dynasty, blessings were gathered to support this work. In the second year of the Xinghe era, under the celestial sign of Shishen, empowered by the Buddha’s Dharma, this sutra emerged, titled *The Questions of the Good-Stable-Mind Heavenly Son*. The work began on the first day of the intercalary month of Jianwu, the cyclical day Dingchou; the task was undertaken on Wuyin and completed on Yisi.
Assisting in the translation were the disciples Gautama Ruci and the monk-translator Tanlin. May those virtuous ones who preserve the Way and revere the Dharma accept this true record, that it may be clearly known without confusion.
