According to Nishi Yoshio 西義雄, although the Taishō ascribes the Karmasiddhiprakaraṇa 業成就論 T1608 only to *Vimokṣaprajñāṛṣi 毘目智仙, a note entitlted 業成就論飜譯之記 [T1608 (XXXI) 777b7-18] records that 毘目智仙 translated the text together with *Gautama Prajñāruci 瞿曇流支 and Shi Tanlin 釋曇林, at Jinhua si 金華寺 in Xinghe 興和 3 (541 CE).

Sakaino states that KYL corrected mistakes regarding the translation works of the "three Rucis" 流支 as much as possible, using the prefaces of the scriptures as the main source. For example, Zhisheng reascribed the Vikurvaṇarājaparipṛcchā 奮迅王問 T421, the Niyatāniyata[gati]mudrāvatāra-sūtra 不必定入印 T645, the Yiqie fa gaowang 一切法髙王 (apparently not extant), the Paramārthadharmavijaya-sūtra 第一義法勝 T833, and the Shun zhong lun 順中論 T1565 (all previously ascribed to Bodhiruci) to *Gautama Prajnāruci 瞿曇般若流支 [Zhisheng should therefore be the ultimate source of these ascriptions, which are still borne by all these texts in T --- MR]. Sakaino states that these re-ascriptions were correct. Zhisheng also reascribed the following titles to *Vimokṣaprajñārṣi 毘目智仙: the Baoji pusa lun 寶髻菩薩論 [cf. 寶髻經四法憂波提舍 T1526], the San juzu jing lun 三具足經論 [三具足經憂波提舍 T1534], the Zhuan falun jing lun 轉法輪經論 [轉法輪經憂波提舍 T1533] (all ascribed to Bodhiruci in LDSBJ), and the Karmasiddhiprakaraṇa 業成就論 T1608 and the Vigrahavyāvartaṇī 廻[迴]諍論 T1631 (both ascribed to *Prajnāruci 般若流支 in LDSBJ). [Once again, then, Zhisheng is the source of the ascriptions that all these texts bear in T.] Sakaino states that *Vimokṣaprajñārṣi first appears in KYL, and that his proximity to *Prajnāruci might have been a cause for the confusion in records about the two figures, quoting the following comment from Zhisheng: 與瞿曇流支同遊魏境。而瞿曇流支尊事為師 (T2154 [LV] 543b15-16).
