「王問尊者曰：『師得勝法否？』云：『已得。』王曰：『於生死有懼否？』云：『已離生死。』『既離生死，可施我頭。』師曰：『身非我有，豈況施頭。』」別云：「識頭麼？」「王便下劍，頭臂俱落。」別云：「知師不悋。」

> "The king asked the venerable one: 'Have you, master, attained the supreme Dharma?' He said: 'I have already attained it.' The king asked: 'Do you have fear regarding birth and death?' He said: 'I have already transcended birth and death.' \[The king said:\] 'Since you have transcended birth and death, you can give me your head.' The master said: 'My body is not mine; how much less should I begrudge giving my head?'" Differing \[from the original words\], he said: "Do you recognize the head?"  
> "The king then brought down his sword; head and arm fell together." Differing \[from the original words\], he said: "I knew the master would not begrudge it."
