宋（贊寧僧統）系傳曰。傳教相輪者。東夏以金剛智為始祖。不空金剛為二祖。慧朗為三祖。自後岐分派別。咸曰。傳瑜珈大教多則多矣。而少驗者何。亦猶羽嘉生應龍應龍生鳳凰鳳凰已降生庶鳥。矣欲無變革其可得乎。

The lineage transmission by Song (Monk Controller Zanning) states: 'Regarding those who transmitted the wheel of doctrinal forms, the Eastern Land takes Vajrabodhi as the first patriarch, Amoghavajra as the second patriarch, and Huilang as the third patriarch. Thereafter, branches divided and schools split, and all said: "While those who transmit the great Yoga teaching are many indeed, why are miracles so few?" This is akin to Yujia giving birth to the responding dragon, the responding dragon giving birth to the phoenix, and down from the phoenix being born the multitude of ordinary birds. How could it be possible to avoid change and decline?'
