| bio | Śrīmitra—literally meaning ‘lucky friend’ was a Śramaṇa of western origin [Kucha] who was the heir apparent of a king of that country. He, however, gave up his kingdom to his younger brother and became a Śramaṇa. He came to China in the Yun-Kia period A.D. 307–12, under the western Tsin dynasty and translated 3 works at Kin-khan (Nanking) under the reign of Yuen-ti, A.D. 317–322 and died at the age of eighty in the Hhien-Khan period, A.D. 335–342. The works are Mahāhhishekarāddhidhāraṇi-sūtra, Mahāmayūri-Vidyārāgnī and in two Fascimulae (Nanjio: Catalogue, ii, 36, pp. 397–98).
