四年。丹楊尹高悝(音恢)旦行張侯橋。望浦中五色光。遣握之得金像。而無光趺。迎置長干寺(在建康城外。長干者長壟也。書云。包括干越。言越地多長壟也)後一年臨海郡人。網得銅華趺。上有梵書云。阿育王第四女造。勅置長干像。又四十年。合浦人采珠海中得金光。勅安像上。宛然如故。
In the fourth year, Gao Kui (pronounced hui), the Prefect of Danyang, was walking past the Zhanghou Bridge at dawn when he saw five-colored light in the inlet. He sent men to grasp it, and they retrieved a golden statue, but it lacked a halo and pedestal. It was welcomed and enshrined at Changgan Monastery (located outside the city of Jiankang; changgan means 'long ridge'; the classic says, 'Embracing Gan and Yue,' meaning the land of Yue has many long ridges). A year later, a man from Linhai Commandery netted a bronze lotus pedestal bearing an inscription in Brāhmī script: 'Made by the fourth daughter of King Aśoka.' An imperial order directed it to be paired with the Changgan statue. Another forty years later, a pearl diver in Hepu retrieved a golden halo from the sea. An imperial order commanded it to be affixed to the statue, and it fit perfectly as if originally one.
