At that time, the youth was still alive. Shigao went to his home, recounted the matter of repaying the debt in former days, and narrated their karmic connection from previous lives. Facing each other with joy, \[Shigao\] said: 'I still have a remnant retribution; I must now go to Kuaiji to settle the account.' The Guangzhou man realized that Shigao was no ordinary man, experienced a sudden awakening, repented of his former transgression, and generously supplied him. He accompanied Shigao on his eastward journey and reached Kuaiji. As soon as they entered the marketplace, it happened that there was a riot in the marketplace; someone fighting accidentally struck Shigao's head, and he lost his life on the spot. Having repeatedly witnessed the verification of these two retributions, the Guangzhou man became diligent in the Buddhadharma and recounted the full circumstances of these events. When people far and near heard of it, all grieved, understanding that the three times truly have their proof. Since Shigao was of royal lineage, travelers and guests from the Western Regions all called him 'Marquis An', which remains his title down to the present day. The country of Tianzhu refers to its own writing as divine writing and its spoken words as divine language; their sounds and meanings are intricate and difficult, vastly different from Chinese. Those who transmitted translations before and after often resulted in errors and inaccuracies; only those produced by Shigao stand at the forefront of all translations. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.1.10) - [Next: 1.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.1.12) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059~en-mt.1.11) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.1.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.1.11) · Pramāṇa
