9.51

陳皇太子淵。後主子也。至德四年正月十五日。於崇正殿設千僧齋。請大師授菩薩戒（百錄請戒文名淵。南史名深。恐因請戒改此名）其請戒文云。重道尊師由來尚矣。請世世結緣遂其本願。授戒之日傳香在手。臉下垂淚。師為立名善萌。及後為隋所破。方悟垂淚者。讖自傷也。善萌者。不成材幹也。禎明三年正月。隋破陳。兵士扣閤而入。時太子年方十五。安坐勞之曰。戎士在路不致勞乎。三月隨後主入隋不知其終。

Crown Prince Yuan of the Chen was the son of the Last Ruler. On the fifteenth day of the first month in the fourth year of Zhide, he hosted a feast for a thousand monks in the Chongzheng Hall and invited the Great Master to confer the Bodhisattva Precepts (the petition text in the Bailu names him Yuan; the History of the Southern Dynasties names him Shen; it is suspected that his name was changed on the occasion of requesting the precepts). His petition text stated: 'Venerating the Way and honoring the master have long been esteemed. I pray to form affinities life after life to fulfill my original vow.' On the day the precepts were conferred, holding the incense in his hand, tears streamed down his cheeks. The master bestowed on him the name Shanmeng (Virtuous Sprout). When the dynasty was later destroyed by the Sui, people only then realized that the shedding of tears was an omen of self-grief, and 'Virtuous Sprout' signified that he would not become a mature pillar of state. In the first month of the third year of Zhenming, when the Sui conquered Chen and soldiers knocked on the palace gates to enter, the Crown Prince was just fifteen years old; sitting peacefully, he comforted them, saying: 'Warriors on the march, have you not been exhausted?' In the third month, he followed the Last Ruler into Sui, and his end is not known.
