Ancient high monks who indulged in their own desires but did not allow others to marry

Celibacy and refraining from marriage were the basic precepts of Buddhist monks in ancient China, but a very small number of monks flouted these rules by approaching women, getting married and having children. Some of them even allowed themselves to marry and indulge in their desires while forbidding others from having sex. Here I would like to introduce one such ancient venerable high monk - Kumārajīva.
