（二十一　壬寅）　十六年。三藏玄奘法師。發王舍城入祇羅國國主郊迎之。已而問曰。而國有聖人出世。作小秦王破陣樂試為我言其為人。奘粗陳帝神武削平天下躬行堯舜之治。其王大驚。東向稽首曰我當朝覲與師偕行也。奘因出所撰制惡見論似之。王欽歎曰。此論一出。可謂日光既昇螢火奪明矣。即以青象名馬助奘馱經而還。

(21. Renyin) Sixteenth year [642 CE]. Tripiṭaka Master Xuanzang departed Rājagṛha and entered the state of Kāmarūpa. The king of the state went to the outskirts to welcome him. After a while, he asked, "In your realm, a sage has appeared in the world who composed the 'Music of the Prince of Qin Breaking the Battle Array'. Please tell me about his character." Xuanzang roughly set forth the Emperor's divine martial prowess in pacifying the realm, and how he personally practiced the governance of Yao and Shun. The king was greatly astonished. Facing east, he kowtowed and said, "I shall go to pay court and travel together with the Master." Thereupon, Xuanzang produced his own composition, the Treatise on Refuting Evil Views, and showed it to him. The king admired it and sighed with praise, saying, "Once this treatise emerges, it can be said that when the sunlight has risen, the fireflies lose their brilliance!" He immediately provided dark elephants and celebrated steeds to assist Xuanzang in carrying the scriptures and returning.
