憬興

憬興之名，藏中所存唯三處卷端之題。《無量壽經連義述文贊》三卷，卷端俱署「釋璟興撰」〔T37n1748 0131c06〕〔T37n1748 0143a08〕〔T37n1748 0158a14〕；大正目錄著錄作「新羅 璟興撰」。八帙僧傳與目錄逐一搜過，無其本傳——鄉里之詳、師承、生卒，藏中一概不繫。

Of Jingxing the canon holds only three scroll-head titles. The three fascicles of the Exposition and Encomium on the Connected Meaning of the Larger Sukhāvatīvyūha are each headed "composed by the monk Jingxing" 〔T37n1748 0131c06〕〔T37n1748 0143a08〕〔T37n1748 0158a14〕, and the Taishō catalogue enters him as "Jingxing of Silla." The eight biographies and catalogues were searched one by one in this session and carry no life of him — the particulars of his home, his teachers and his dates the canon nowhere gives.

其名有二形：藏本署名作「璟興」，而本籍讀者面依通行作「憬興」。重驗其書自身：全文唯用「璟興」，「憬興」零命中。二形指同一人，本籍以通行之「憬興」立名而於〈年代依據〉照錄卷端之原形，不改卷端一字——立名之便不得改底本之字，此本編一貫之律。

His name stands in two forms: the canon's own attribution writes it one way, while this corpus's reader-facing pages use the current form. This session re-checked the book itself: throughout, it uses only the canonical form, and the current form does not occur once. The two forms name one man; this registry enters him under the current form for convenience and reproduces the scroll-head form verbatim in the dating note, altering not one character of the scroll-head — convenience in naming may not change a character of the base text, which is this edition's standing rule.

本編以其贊為《無量壽經》之注家一鏡，與曇鸞、淨影慧遠諸家並列，異讀誌錄不判；於其人則如實標不詳，不代為補。

This edition takes his encomium as one of the commentarial mirrors on the Larger Sukhāvatīvyūha, beside Tanluan and Huiyuan of Jingying, recording where the houses differ without adjudicating; of the man himself it marks the record honestly as unknown and supplies nothing.
