僧伽羅剎所集經卷上并序
Sutra of the Saṅgharakṣa Collection, Fascicle 1 and Preface
符秦罽賓三藏僧伽跋澄等譯
Translated by Saṅghabhūti and Others, Tripiṭaka Masters from Jibin, during the Fu Qin Dynasty
僧伽羅剎者，須賴國人也。佛去世後七百年生此國，出家學道，遊教諸邦，至揵陀越土，甄陀罽膩王師焉。高明絕世，多所述作，此土《修行》、《大道地經》其所集也。又著此經憲章，世尊自始成道迄于淪虛，行無巨細，必因事而演，遊化夏坐莫不曲備。雖《普曜》、《本行》、《度世》諸經載佛起居至謂為密，今覽斯經，所悟復多矣。
傳其將終，「我若立根得力大士誠不虛者，立斯樹下，手援其葉而棄此身，使那羅延力大象之勢，無能移余如毛髮也。正使就耶維者，當不燋此葉。」言然之後便即立終。罽膩王自臨而不能動，遂以巨絙象挽未始能搖，即就耶維，炎葉不傷。尋昇兜術，與彌勒大士高談彼宮，將補佛處賢劫第八。
以建元二十年，罽賓沙門僧伽跋澄齎此經本來詣長安，武威太守趙文業請令出焉。佛念為譯，慧嵩筆受，正值慕容作難於近郊，然譯出不襄。余與法和對檢定之，十一月三十日乃了也。此年出《中阿含》六十卷，《增一阿含》四十六卷，伐鼓擊柝之中，而出斯一百餘卷，窮通不改其恬，詎非先師之故迹乎？
In the twentieth year of the Jianyuan era (384 CE), the monk Sanghabhadra from Kashmir brought this sutra text to Chang'an. Military Governor Zhao Wenye of Wuwei Commandery requested that it be translated. Zhu Fonian served as translator, while Huisong transcribed. At that time, Murong was causing trouble on the nearby outskirts, yet the translation work was completed smoothly. I, together with Fahe, carried out a careful proofreading and finalized it on the thirtieth day of the eleventh month.
That same year, the *Medium-Length Āgama* in sixty volumes and the *Increased-by-One Āgama* in forty-six volumes were also produced. Amidst the beating of drums and the striking of watchmen's rattles, over one hundred volumes were produced. Through times of hardship and ease alike, the work remained steady and untroubled—surely this was the legacy left by our late masters.
