34.86

In the fourth year, eighteen śramaṇas of the Western Regions, including Śrībandhu, came to convert [the people], bringing Buddhist scriptures. The Emperor imprisoned them because of their strange customs. At night, a sixteen-foot golden spirit smashed the door and released them. The Emperor was startled, bowed his head to apologize, and sent them out of the border with generous gifts (Zhu Shixing's Scriptural Catalogue).
