神泰

神泰在藏中無本傳。他的名字見於《大唐大慈恩寺三藏法師傳》的兩處名單。其一在貞觀十九年弘福寺開譯之時：「證義大德諳解大小乘經、論為時輩所推者，一十二人」〔T50n2053 0253c19〕至，其中一位是「蒲州普救寺沙門神泰」〔T50n2053 0253c25〕。十二人中之一，別無他語。

Shentai has no life of his own in the canon. His name appears in two lists in the Life of the Tripiṭaka Master of Great Ci'en Monastery. The first is at the opening of the translation bureau at Hongfu monastery in the nineteenth year of Zhenguan: "the twelve eminent monks chosen to certify the meaning — those versed in the sūtras and treatises of both Vehicles and esteemed by their generation" 〔T50n2053 0253c19〕 arrived, and one of them was "Shentai of Pujiu monastery in Puzhou" 〔T50n2053 0253c25〕. One of twelve, and nothing further said.

其二在《大毘婆沙論》譯出之時：神泰、靖邁、明覺等「並以神機昭晣，志業兼該，博習群經，多所通悟」〔T50n2053 0262c24〕，皆蒙別勅追赴法筵，「遂得函丈請益，執卷承旨」〔T50n2053 0262c25〕；而後「各錄所聞，為之義疏」〔T50n2053 0262c27〕。本編所取其《俱舍論疏》〔X53n0836〕，漢傳唯存七卷，即此「各錄所聞」之殘。故本編用之，不以其全，而以其近——所錄者是譯場上親承之言。

The second is at the translation of the Great Vibhāṣā: Shentai, Jingmai, Mingjue and the others, "clear in insight, complete in resolve and learning, widely read in the scriptures and deeply understanding" 〔T50n2053 0262c24〕, were each summoned by special decree to the Dharma assembly, where "seated at arm's length they questioned the master and received his intent with the scroll in hand" 〔T50n2053 0262c25〕; and afterwards "each recorded what he had heard and composed expositions of it" 〔T50n2053 0262c27〕. The Kośa Commentary 〔X53n0836〕 this edition draws on survives in Chinese in seven fascicles only — the remnant of that recording of what was heard. This edition uses it not for its completeness but for its nearness: what stands in it was received in the hall itself.

其生卒藏中不繫，出身不記，師承唯此一事可繫。本編如實標不詳，不代為補。

The canon gives no dates and records no origin; of his teacher only that one occasion can be established. This edition marks these honestly as unknown rather than supplying them.
