4.121

秋七月太尉文正公王且薨。公在政府十八年。病革。囑翰林學士楊億曰。吾深厭煩惱。願未來世為苾芻林間宴坐。觀心為樂。至易簀時。君為我剃鬚髮。著壞色三衣。用火葬禮。營骨塔於先塋之側。億曰。公三公也。斂贈公衮豈可加於僧體乎。與諸孤議。但以三衣置柩中。不藏寶玉而已（文瑩湘山錄）。

In autumn, the seventh month, Grand Defender Duke Wang Dan (posthumously titled Wen-zheng) passed away. The Duke had been in the administration for eighteen years. In critical illness, he instructed Hanlin Academician Yang Yi, saying: "I deeply detest afflictions; I wish in future lives to be a bhikṣu sitting in tranquil meditation in the forest, taking the contemplation of mind as joy. When my mat is about to be changed, please shave my beard and hair, dress me in the three dyed robes, perform the cremation rites, and erect a bone pagoda beside the ancestral cemetery." Yi said: "You are one of the Three Excellencies; how could the funerary robe of state bestowed upon you be placed upon the body of a monk?" Conferring with his orphaned heirs, they merely placed the three robes inside the coffin, without burying any jewels or jade (Wenying's Xiangshan lu).
