Śrīmitra 帛尸梨蜜多羅 (also written 帛尸梨密多羅; flourished early to mid-fourth century) was a Kuchean prince-monk who came to China during the early Eastern Jìn 東晉 (after 317 CE) and settled at the Jiànchū 建初 monastery in Jiànkāng (modern Nanjing). The standard hagiography in the Gāosēng zhuàn 高僧傳 (T2059, juan 1) records that he was the eldest son of the Kuchean royal house but renounced his throne to enter the Saṅgha; he came to China as a refugee from political turmoil in his native land and was greeted as a religious celebrity by the southern court. His Chinese sobriquet Gāozuò Dàorén 高座道人 (“Master of the High Seat”) refers to his exceptional bearing in lecture. He was particularly close to the literati Wáng Dǎo 王導, Yú Liàng 庾亮, and Zhōu Yǐ 周顗, and is said to have died at over eighty years of age (some sources place his death around 343 CE). His translations are dhāraṇī-oriented and include the composite Guàndǐng jīng 灌頂經 (KR6i0051) — though the Liáng catalog Chū sānzàng jì jí already noted that several of its twelve fascicles are likely later Chinese compositions ascribed to him for prestige. He is regarded as one of the introducers of dhāraṇī (mantra) Buddhism to southern China. DILA Buddhist Person Authority assigns A001428.
