Jnanagupta (Sanskrit; Chinese language 闍那崛多 or 志德) was a Buddhist monk from Gandhara who travelled to China and was recognised by Emperor Wen of Sui China of the Sui dynasty. He is said to have brought with him 260 sutras in Sanskrit, and was supported in translating these into Chinese by the emperor. In total, he translated 39 scriptures in 192 fascicles during the period 561 to 592, including: *Sutra of Buddha's Fundamental Deed (佛本行經), 60 fascicles *Candrottaradarikapariprccha (月上女經) 2 fascicles ==Sources== ''[http://www.buddhistdoor.com/bdoor/0202/sources/teach51.htm Translators in Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty]''. Buddhist Door ([http://www.buddhistdoor.com/ www.buddhistdoor.com])
Due to recent discoveries some modern scholars feel that many Chinese Buddhist scriptures originally said to have been translated from to Sanskrit may in fact have been translated from Gandhari. This may be the case for this monk's works. --User:Pratyeka 03:26, 2004 Mar 22 (UTC) what are fascicles??
