7.42

三後燕成武帝慕容垂書曰。皇帝敬問太山朗和上。澄神靈緒慈蔭百國。凡在含生孰不蒙潤。朕承籍纂統。方夏事膺。昔蜀不恭魏武含慨。今二賊不平。朕豈獲安。又元戎克興狂掃暴亂。至人通靈隨權指化。願兵不血刃四海混伏。委心歸依久敬何已。今遣使者送官絹一百疋。袈裟三領。綿五十斤。幸為呪願。

Third, the letter from Emperor Chengwu of the Later Yan, Murong Chui, said: 'The Emperor respectfully inquires after Upādhyāya Lang of Mount Tai. You clarify the spirit and spiritual lineage, and your compassionate shade covers a hundred states. Among all that breathe, who does not receive your moisture? I have inherited the lineage and succession, facing the affairs of the realm. Formerly, when Shu was disrespectful, Emperor Wu of Wei harbored indignation; now, with two rebels unsubdued, how can I find peace? Furthermore, the grand army is successfully mobilized to sweep away rebellion wildly. The perfected person penetrates the spiritual realm and transforms according to expedient guidance. I pray that weapons will not be stained with blood and the four seas will unite in submission. Yielding my heart in refuge, how could my long-held reverence ever cease? Now I dispatch an envoy to present one hundred bolts of official silk, three kāṣāyas, and fifty jin of cotton floss. May you kindly chant prayers on my behalf.'
