Lives of Buddha (13): Fo-shwo-cung-hu-mo-ho-ti-king
The following is the title of a life of Buddha, translated by Fă-khin of the Sung dynasty (began 960 A.D.), and named Fo-shwo-cung-hu-mo-ho-ti-king which is, as it appears, a work of the Sammatiya school of Buddhism, corresponding with the Mahāvastu. The phrase 
is used in the introductory chapter to denote Sammata, who was 'chosen by all' to be the first king; and 
is the Chinese form of Mahāvastu, 'the great (thing).' This memoir is in 2 vols. and 13 kiouen; it is very complete, agreeing in its details with the notices found in the Manual of Buddhism, and in Bigandet's Life of Godama. It was probably in the original a Pāli work.
