中天竺舍衛國祇洹寺圖經 1.42

1.42

次小巷西一院，名學人四諦之院。門向東巷，中有堂樹，餘如上說。有大銅鐘須彌山形，舍衛城中長者子須繼那造。為自出聲如破盆響，年如十歲，發心希敬，飛至三十三天。梵天王知其心，至使天竺工匠指授儀則。鐘既成已，其人獲得雷聲勝報。鐘上有帝釋四王宮殿，日月星辰四海之像。聲如龍琴，聞千里內，近聽如江南尼眾贊唄之聲。

Next, to the west of the small lane, is a courtyard called the Courtyard of the Śaikṣa Four Truths. Its gate faces the eastern lane; inside are halls and trees, and the rest is as described above. There is a large bronze bell in the shape of Mount Sumeru, made by the elder's son Sukina in the city of Śrāvastī. Because his own voice was like the sound of a broken pot, when he was about ten years old, he aroused an aspiration of hope and reverence, and flew up to the Trāyastriṃśa Heaven. The Brahmā King knew his mind and sent an Indian artisan to instruct him in the standards and models. After the bell was completed, that person obtained the superior retribution of a voice like thunder. Upon the bell are images of the palaces of Śakra and the Four Heavenly Kings, the sun, moon, stars, constellations, and the four seas. Its sound is like a dragon zither, heard within a thousand li; heard up close, it is like the sound of nuns chanting praises in Jiangnan.
