22.44

帝命伯顏丞相。攻取江南不克。遂問膽巴師父云。護神云何不出氣力。奏云。人不使不去。佛不請不說。帝遂求請。不日而宋降。

The Emperor ordered Grand Councilor Boyan to attack and take Jiangnan without success. He then asked Master Damba: 'Why do the protector spirits exert no strength?' He memorialized: 'If people do not send them, they do not go; if the Buddha is not petitioned, he does not speak.' The Emperor thereupon made a petition, and before many days the Song surrendered.
