二十三祖師子尊者。中印土人。得法遊化至罽賓國。有波利迦者。本習禪觀。有禪定知見。執相捨相不語五眾。師子化之五眾皆服。聲聞邇遐。外道摩目多部落遮二人。素學幻術。乃盜為僧形。潛入王宮婬犯妃后且曰。不成則歸罪釋子。既而事敗。王大怒曰。吾素重三寶。沙門何多辱我。即毀寺害僧。自秉劍至尊者所。問曰。師得蘊空耶。曰然。王曰。蘊既空當與我頭。曰身非我有何吝於頭。王遂斬師首。白乳涌高數尺。王臂尋墮。七日而亡。太子光首歎曰。我父何故自取其禍。有象白山仙人。深明因果。即為廣說宿因。以尊者報體而建塔焉（付法藏經）。

The twenty-third patriarch, the Venerable Āryasiṃha, was a native of Central India. Having attained the Dharma, he traveled to the kingdom of Jibin. There was a man named Bālika who originally practiced dhyāna-contemplation and possessed meditative knowledge and vision; clinging to marks and abandoning marks, he did not speak with the five assemblies. Āryasiṃha converted him, and the five assemblies all submitted; his fame was heard far and near. There were two non-Buddhists, Māmukta and Buluozhe, who had long practiced illusory arts; they stole into monastic robes, secretly entered the royal palace, and violated the queens and consorts, saying: 'If it fails, we will blame it on the sons of the Śākyan.' When the plot was exposed, the king was furious, saying: 'I have always respected the Three Jewels; why do the śramaṇas insult me so greatly?' He then destroyed monasteries and harmed monks. Holding a sword himself, he came to the Venerable One's place and asked: 'Has the master realized the emptiness of the aggregates?' He replied: 'Yes.' The king said: 'Since the aggregates are empty, you should give me your head.' He replied: 'The body is not mine; why should I begrudge my head?' The king then cut off the master's head. White milk gushed up several feet high. The king's arm immediately fell off, and he died within seven days. Crown Prince Guangshou lamented: 'Why did my father bring this calamity upon himself?' There was an immortal of Mount Elephant White who thoroughly understood cause and effect; he broadly explained the past causes for him, and they built a stūpa for the Venerable One's recompense-body (from the Fu fazang jing).
