"...compiled...most probably before 512, since it includes entries on an early, short version of the Ayu wang jing 阿育王經 rather that on the authoritative one translated in that year by Saṃghavara/Saṃghavāra." The text occasionally uses the phrasing 梁言, which indicates it was written after the founding of the Liang in 502.

• Chu yao lü yi 出要律儀
• T2130; 翻梵語

Funayama treats the Fan Fan yu 翻梵語 T2130 as a work of the Liang dynasty. He refers to prior studies, especially by Ono Genmyō, whom he says was the first to notice the importance of the work. Funayama himself points out that a section of the text on monastic robes (*kaṭhina) called Jiaxina yi fa 迦絺那衣法 (fascicle 3) is entirely a reproduction of the lost Chu yao lü yi 出要律儀, which slightly predates Fan Fan yu. The format of this section is clearly different from other parts of T2130. The Chu yao lü yi has been variously regarded as a work of Baochang 寶唱, or an imperial commission. It was highly regarded and frequently quoted by Vinaya masters of subsequent generations. In the Chu yao lü yi, a figure referred to as the "shenglunzhe" 聲論者 is often cited as a source of information; Funayama speculates that this was probably a Chinese scholar-monk of the Liang. Funayama gives as an example an entry on Rājagr̥ha 羅閱城 (1006a22).

Chen summarises prior theories about the authorship of the Fan Fan yu T2130. The preface to the text itself shows that Kenga 賢賀 (1683-?) found a manuscript on Mt. Daigo that was about 500 yeras old, and made by Shinken 深賢. This same preface names Shingyō 信行 (710-794) as the compiler of the text. Others have proposed that the true author might be Jikaku 慈覺 (794-864). Another theory holds that the author might have been Baochang 寶唱 (fl. ca. 500), who was active as an amanuensis in translation projects under the Liang, and is presumed to have used the text in that work. For these latter two theories, Chen refers to a note at the end of the first fascicle of the text in T, vol. 54 991 n. 2. That note reads:

甲本奧書曰，前唐院藏本寫，天明七丁未年九月十四日寫以東寺觀智院本校合寫誤不鮮從本紙而不改一字後來君子以全本訂證焉，台嶺吉祥金剛實靈花押，八家祕錄云翻梵語十卷仁，私云仁者慈覺大師也，或人私云飛鳥寺信行撰集唐土人師也，今云不然，莊嚴寺寶唱撰也.

Chen proposes that it is unlikely the work was compiled in Japan. It refers to the Chinese language as the language of "this region" 此間. It also frequently justifies entries by citing a "translator" 譯者曰. It also uses another formulation referring to the authority of a "Western monk" 胡僧. In one chapter, there are four instances referring to the "language of the Liang (dynasty)". Chen concludes on this basis that the work was composed under the Liang. However, Chen does not identify the author of the work with Baochang, simply remarking, rather, that this was also the period in which Baochang was active.
