Fǎjiù 法救 (*Dharmatrāta, “Dharma-Protector”; lifedates conventional, c. first–second century CE), Indic Buddhist Sarvāstivādin master and the conventional compiler of the Dharmapada / Udānavarga — the foundational Buddhist gnomic-verse anthology known in Chinese as Fǎ-jù jīng 法句經 (T210) and Fǎ-jí yào-sòng jīng 法集要頌經 (T213). Two early Chinese Sarvāstivādin masters bear the same name; the figure here is the senior Dharmatrāta, distinct from the later “Dharmatrāta-2” who appears as a Saṃyutta-āgama-commentary author. The name is preserved canonically in Chinese both as 法救 (“Dharma-Saviour”) and 達磨多羅 (transliteration). Per DILA Buddhist Person Authority A001998.
