42.83

六年。陳州末尼聚眾反。立母乙為天子。朝廷發兵擒母乙斬之。其徒以不茹葷飲酒。夜聚婬穢。晝魔王踞坐。佛為洗足。云佛是大乘我法乃上上乘。其上慢不法有若此龍德元年。勅天下毋得私度僧尼。願出家者。入京城比試經業。

In the sixth year, the Manichaeans of Chenzhou gathered a mob in revolt and installed Mu Yi as Son of Heaven. The court dispatched troops to capture Mu Yi and beheaded him. His followers abstained from meat and wine, gathered at night for illicit defilement, and by day their demon king sat cross-legged while the Buddha washed his feet, saying, "The Buddha is the Great Vehicle, but our Dharma is the Utmost Vehicle." Their supreme insolence and lawlessness were of this kind. In the first year of the Longde era, an imperial decree forbade the private ordination of monks and nuns throughout the empire; those wishing to renounce the household had to enter the capital to take examinations on scriptural learning.
