3.25

祐案。畫像原始出自覺製。於是金石香綵鑄刻遂滋。皆所以摹影相好。髣髴尊儀。及優填所造其神力所化乎。

Sengyou notes: The origin of painted and sculptured images began with the Great Awakened One's creation. From then on, casting and carving in metal, stone, incense, and pigments increasingly flourished. All of these are means to copy his shadows and auspicious marks and to resemble his venerable demeanor. As for that which was made by Udayana, was it not transformed by his spiritual power?
