[He] brought up: "Emperor Wu of Liang requested Mahāsattva Fu to explain a sutra. As soon as the Mahāsattva ascended the seat, he struck the desk once with a ruler, and immediately stepped down from the seat. The Emperor was startled. Master Zhi then asked, 'Does Your Majesty understand?' The Emperor said, 'I do not understand.' Master Zhi said, 'The Mahāsattva has finished explaining the sutra.'"
