### [10.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.10.3)

揵陀勒者，本西域人，來至洛陽積年。眾雖敬其風操，而終莫能測。後謂眾僧曰：「洛東南有槃鵄山，山有古寺廟處，基墌猶存，可共修立。」眾未之信，試逐檢視。入山到一處，四面平坦，勒示云：「此即寺基也。」即掘之，果得寺下石基。後示講堂僧房處，如言皆驗。眾咸驚歎，因共修立，以勒為寺主。

> Qiandule was originally a man of the Western Regions who had come to Luoyang for many years. Although the assembly respected his conduct and bearing, in the end none could fathom him. Later he said to the community of monks: "Southeast of Luoyang is Mount Panchi, where there is an ancient temple site whose foundations still remain; we may rebuild it together." The assembly did not believe him, but went along to inspect it. Entering the mountain, they arrived at a spot that was flat on all four sides. Qiandule pointed and said: "This is the monastery's foundation." They dug it up at once and indeed uncovered the stone foundation beneath the temple. Later he pointed out the sites of the lecture hall and the monks' quarters, and every word proved true. The assembly was amazed and sighed in admiration; thereupon they rebuilt it together, making Qiandule the abbot of the temple.
