The text had been brought to Chang'an by Saṃghabhūti/‌*Saṃghabhadra(?) 僧伽跋澄; the preface does not state directly what his role was in the translation process [MR: on the pattern of other prefaces, it seems likely that he "held", i.e. read, the "Western text" 胡本], but it explicitly states that Zhu Fonian translated, and Huisong 慧嵩 acted as amanuensis.
