答曰:「山有菩薩寺,迦葉佛正法時初立,有歡喜王菩薩造之,寺名法燈。自彼至今,常明空表。有小菩薩三百餘人,斷粒遐齡,常住此山。此燈又是山神季特續後供養。(特,舊蜀主。)故至正月,處處然燈,以供養佛寺。」
He replied, "On the mountain is the Bodhisattva Monastery, first established during the True Dharma era of Kāśyapa Buddha; Bodhisattva Pramodyarāja built it, and the monastery was named Dharma Lamp. From then until now, it has constantly shone brightly up in the sky. There are more than three hundred lesser bodhisattvas who have severed their intake of grain to enjoy vast lifespans, dwelling permanently on this mountain. This lamp was also continuously provided with offerings later on by the mountain god Jite (Te was an ancient ruler of Shu). Therefore, when the first month arrives, lamps are lit everywhere to make offerings to the Buddhist monastery."
