國師金剛智。西土人。親傳龍智阿闍梨法。唐開元七年抵南海廣州以聞。詔入見。館大慈恩寺。夏旱詔禱雨。結壇圖七俱胝像。約像開目即雨。閱三日像目果開。有物自壇布雲彌空。須臾霈雨。詔褒之。明年辭遊雁門。不允。遷居薦福。所至結壇作灌頂道場。二十年八月告其徒曰。白月圓時吾其逝矣。至期右遶毘盧遮那佛像。頂安貝葉趺坐而化。諡灌頂國師。塔於伊川。

> National Preceptor Vajrabodhi was a native of the Western regions. He personally received the Dharma of Ācārya Nāgabodhi. In the seventh year of the Kaiyuan era of the Tang, he arrived at Guangzhou in the Southern Sea and reported his arrival. An edict summoned him for an audience, and he was lodged at the Great Cien Monastery. In a summer drought, an edict ordered him to pray for rain; he set up an altar and drew an image of the Seven Koṭīs \[Cundī\], stipulating that as soon as the image opened its eyes, rain would fall. After three days, the image's eyes indeed opened; a substance spread clouds from the altar filling the sky, and in an instant torrential rain poured down. An edict commended him. The following year, he took leave to travel to Yanmen, but it was not granted. He was moved to reside at the Jianfu Monastery. Wherever he went, he established altars and created abhiṣeka bodhimaṇḍas. In the eighth month of the twentieth year, he told his disciples: 'When the bright moon is full, I shall depart.' When the time arrived, he circumambulated the image of Vairocana Buddha to the right, placed palm leaves upon his head, sat cross-legged, and passed away. He was posthumously titled National Preceptor of the Abhiṣeka, and a stupa was erected for him at Yichuan.
