In the third year, an imperial order welcomed the Śākyamuni Buddha's tooth relic—which had received imperial panegyrics from three reigns—from Xiangguo Monastery into the palace for offerings. Through the crystal reliquary, relics issued forth like raindrops. Thereupon, the emperor composed a panegyric: / 'Great Sage, Śākyamuni, / Equal to space, yet a single particle of dust. / Whatever is sought, he answers with response; / In no realm does he not divide his body. / The brilliance of jade, the thousand spokes remain; / The diamond vajra, refined a hundred times, is ever new. / Now I pay reverent homage, / Universally wishing to save the multitude of beings.' / ○ An imperial decree conferred posthumous titles: on Tripiṭaka Master Mātanga of Baima Monastery, the title Dharma Master of Opening the Way and Perfect Penetration; on Dharmaratna, the title Dharma Master of Initiating the Teaching and All-Holding; on Mahāsattva Fu of Shuanglin, the title Mahāsattva Equal to Space and Continuing Awakening; and on Elder Li of Mount Fang, the title Elder Manifesting the Teaching and Wondrous Adornment. ○ Yangzhou submitted a memorial stating that the Great Sage of Sizhou had repeatedly appeared at the Puhui Stupa.
