顗禪師於瓦官寺為儀同沈君理等講法華經。後常與眾講大智度論說次第禪門○思禪師居南岳。九仙觀道士歐陽正則詭奏。師為帝蠱事（漢江充奏。戾太子為巫蠱事。蠱者惑也。謂巫者左道。或眾埋木人為呪詛事。今道土欲以巫蠱事陷師也）帝遣使召之。則見師自空中來。驚悟其神一無所問。以道士誣告罪當棄市。師請貸之令給事僧眾。乃勅有司。冶十四鐵券。識十四姓名其上。令隨師還山服役舂米（今俗呼擣米叔）久之願以田充香積贖老身。因名留田莊於是藏其鐵券勒石為記。名曰陳朝皇帝賜南岳思大禪師降伏道士鐵券記（詳見南岳本紀）。

Chan Master [Zhi]yi lectured on the Lotus Sūtra for the Specially Advanced (Yitong) Shen Junli and others at Waguan Monastery. Later he frequently lectured on the Dà zhìdù lùn for the assembly and taught the Cìdì chánmén. Chan Master [Hui]si resided on Mount Nanyue. Ouyang Zhengze, a Daoist priest of Jiuxian Abbey, made a deceitful memorial accusing the master of working black magic (gù) against the emperor. (Han Dynasty's Jiang Chong memorialized that Crown Prince Li was practicing witchcraft and black magic. Black magic means delusion. It refers to sorcerers' heterodox paths, or burying wooden figurines as curses. Here, the Daoist priest wished to frame the master with witchcraft and black magic.) The emperor dispatched an envoy to summon him, whereupon he saw the master arriving through the air. Startled into realizing his spiritual powers, [the emperor] asked nothing at all. Since the Daoist priest's crime of false accusation warranted execution in the marketplace, the master requested that he be pardoned and made to serve the saṅgha. Thereupon an imperial decree ordered the authorities to forge fourteen iron certificates and inscribe the fourteen names upon them, requiring them to follow the master back to the mountain to labor at hulling rice. (Today commoners call them 'rice-pounding uncles'.) After a long time, [one] offered his fields to supply the monastery storehouse to redeem his aged self; hence it was named the Liutian (Retained Field) Estate. Thereupon, the iron certificates were stored and inscribed on stone as a record, entitled 'Record of the Iron Certificates Bestowed by the Emperor of the Chen Dynasty upon Great Chan Master [Hui]si of Mount Nanyue for Subduing the Daoist Priests' (for details, see the Basic Annals of Nanyue).
