(四十三 戊戌) 是歲新羅僧無漏示寂于右閤門。合掌凌空而。立足去地尺許左右以聞。帝驚異降蹕臨視。得遺表乞歸葬舊谷。有詔護送舊居建塔。至懷遠縣下院。輒舉不動。遂以香泥塑全身。留之下院。

(Forty-three; wuxu [758 CE]) In this year, the Silla monk Mulu manifested his passing at the Right Gate of the palace. With his palms joined, he stood suspended in midair, his feet hovering about a foot above the ground. His attendants reported this. The emperor was astonished and went in person to view him. A testamentary memorial was found requesting permission to return and be buried in his old valley. An imperial decree ordered that he be escorted to his former residence and a stūpa be erected. When they arrived at the branch monastery in Huaiyuan County, [his body] could not be lifted or moved. Thereupon they modeled his whole body with fragrant clay and left it at the branch monastery.
