（丁酉）　周武承光三年。既克齊改元宣政。帝癘疾稍作。五月一日歸長安延壽殿。癘甚。二十四日遷雲陽宮。六月一日。殂子贇立于同州○唐吏部尚書唐臨冥報記云。自言外祖為隋僕射封齊公。親見文帝。問死還活者。初死見周武帝云。為我上聞大隋天子。昔日與我共食倉庫。玉帛亦我儲之。我今為滅佛法受大極苦願帝為我助作功德也。帝以庫藏不敢私費。乃化天下人各一錢。為追福懺罪也。

> (Dingyou) In the third year of Chengguang, Emperor Wu of Zhou, having conquered Qi, changed the era name to Xuanzheng. The Emperor began to develop a virulent pestilence. On the first day of the fifth month, he returned to Yanshou Hall in Chang'an. The pestilence grew severe. On the twenty-fourth day, he moved to Yunyang Palace. On the first day of the sixth month, he passed away. His son Yun was established \[on the throne\] in Tongzhou. ○ The Record of Retribution in the Unseen World by Tang Lin, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel of Tang, states: He said that his maternal grandfather was a Vice-Director of the Department of State Affairs under the Sui and enfeoffed as the Duke of Qi, and personally met Emperor Wen. Asking a man who had died and returned to life, \[the man said\] when he first died, he saw Emperor Wu of Zhou say: “Report on my behalf to the Son of Heaven of the Great Sui: In former days you shared granaries with me, and the jade and silk were also stored by me. I am now suffering extreme agony for having destroyed the Buddha-Dharma; I desire that the Emperor perform meritorious deeds on my behalf.” The Emperor, not daring to privately expend the palace stores, thus transformed the people under heaven into offering one coin each to seek blessings and repent for his sins.
