國清百錄 3.13

3.13

I submit that on this auspicious day of the present month, the Bodhisattva has appeared in the world; on behalf of the Supreme Empress, for the merit of requiting kindness, wondrous images have been cast and people ordained into the sangha, bringing immeasurable roots of future merit and karmic fruits in the present. In making the five śrāmaṇeras become my disciples, I shall respectfully follow your decree and act as the precept-expounding master. Since their ages are young, an upādhyāya must be separately selected, and I will certainly choose an eminent and virtuous person to serve as their refuge, and bestow Dharma robes upon them, which they will joyfully receive atop their heads before the assembly. The monk so-and-so respectfully states. Nineteenth day of the seventh month.
