-|bio=Sheng-chien was apparently greatly respected by Ch'i-fu Kuo-jen, the first ruler of Western Ch'in, who ordered him to make translations (according to the ''Li-tai-san-pao chi''). These translations, which are recorded in later catalogues (Sui and T'ang) as being 14 or 15 individual texts in 24 chüan, may have continued by Sheng-chien into the reign of Ch'i-fu Ch'ien-kuei, as indicated by the excerpt in the ''K'ai-yüan shih chiao lu''. In this latter record, the list of the titles for the translated sutras (none are extant now) attributed to the Western Ch'in, possibly to Sheng-chien, reveal at least one text translating the "Entering the Dharma World" (Ju-fa-chieh p'in) section of the ''Hua-yen sutra''.
