復舉：「世尊因地布髮掩泥，獻花於燃燈如來。燃燈見布髮處，遂約退眾，乃指其地云：『此一方地宜建梵剎。』眾中有一賢于長者，持標插於指處云：『建梵剎已竟。』時諸天散花讚言：『庶子有大智矣！』」師云：「大眾，燃燈指處滴水氷生，賢于插時天回地轉。於斯見得，古釋迦不先，今太師不後；其或未然，更聽重下注脚。莫除荊棘建伽藍，七佛常來此處參，地久天長功不墜，天花時復雨𣯶𣯶。」

He brought up [the following]: “In his causal ground, the Bhagavat spread his hair to cover the mud and offered flowers to Dīpaṃkara Tathāgata. Seeing the place where the hair was spread, Dīpaṃkara held back the assembly, pointed to that ground, and said, ‘This spot of ground is suitable for building a Brahma monastery.’ In the assembly, an elder named Xianyu took a stake and drove it into the spot pointed to, saying, ‘The building of the Brahma monastery is already finished.’ At that time, the devas scattered flowers and praised him, saying, ‘This common fellow has great wisdom!’” The Master said, “Great assembly: where Dīpaṃkara pointed, dripping water turned to ice; when Xianyu drove the stake, heaven turned and earth spun. If you can see into this, the ancient Śākya is not first, and the present Grand Preceptor is not after. If you have not yet done so, listen further to my added footnote: Do not clear away the thorns to build a saṅghārāma; / The seven buddhas constantly come here to participate. / Ground enduring and heaven long, the merit does not fall away; / Heavenly flowers from time to time rain down abundantly.”
