The Emperor installed it in the Ganquan Palace, burning incense and paying homage to it. In the second year of the Hongjia era of Emperor Cheng, Liu Xiang, while collating books in the Tianlu Pavilion, frequently came across Buddhist sūtras. In the first year of the Yuanshou era of Emperor Ai, Jing Xian was sent as an envoy to the Da Yuezhi and returned having obtained Buddhist sūtras. In the seventh year of the Yongping era of Emperor Ming of the Han, the Emperor dreamed of a golden figure sixteen feet tall flying through the palace courtyard. Fu Yi said: "In the West there is a sage; his name is Buddha." The Emperor thereupon dispatched Cai Yin and others on a mission to the Western Regions. In the territory of the Da Yuezhi, they met Mātanga and Dharmaratna, obtained Buddha images and Sanskrit sūtras, carried them back on white horses, and arrived at Luoyang.
