The Western Heaven Tripiṭaka Master Fahū (Dharmapāla) arrived and presented relics of the Buddha and palm-leaf Sanskrit sutras; he was bestowed a purple robe and bolts of silk, and lodged in the Institute for the Translation of Sutras. The monk Jiexian (Śīlabhadra) from Northern India arrived to present Sanskrit sutras; he was bestowed purple vestments. In the seventh month, during a severe drought, Sanskrit monks from the Western Heavens were summoned to erect an altar in the middle of the waters of Jinming Pool to chant incantations to the dragons. Clouds and mist arose from the pool, and in a short while rain arrived. Thereafter, whenever there was a drought, incantation rituals were invariably performed and proved largely efficacious. The monk Daoyuan of Dongwu presented the Transmission of the Lamp of the Chan School in thirty fascicles; an imperial decree ordered the Hanlin Academician Yang Yi to edit and promulgate it. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 44.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.44.8) - [Next: 44.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.44.10) - [Up: 44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.44) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.44.9) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.44.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.44.9) · Pramāṇa
