高僧傳 3.52

3.52

時又有沙門寶意，梵言阿那摩低，本姓康，康居人，世居天竺。以宋孝建中，來止京師瓦官禪房，恒於寺中樹下坐禪，又曉經律，時人亦號三藏。常轉側數百貝子，立知凶吉。善能神呪，以香塗掌，亦見人往事。宋世祖施其一銅唾壺，高二尺許，常在床前，忽有人竊之。意以席一領，空卷之，呪上數通，經于三夕，唾壺還在席中，莫測其然。於是四遠道俗，咸敬而異焉。齊文惠、文宣及梁太祖，並敬以師禮焉。永明末年，終於所住。

At that time, there was also the śramaṇa Baoyi, in Sanskrit Anamati, originally surnamed Kang, a man of Kangju whose family had lived in Tianzhu for generations. During the Xiaojian reign of the Song, he came to reside in the dhyāna quarters of Waguan Temple in the capital. He constantly practiced dhyāna sitting beneath trees in the temple and was versed in the sūtras and vinaya; the people of the time also called him a Tripiṭaka master. He often tossed several hundred cowrie shells and would instantly know good or bad fortune. He was skilled in esoteric dhāraṇīs: by smearing incense onto his palm, he could also see people's past deeds. Emperor Shizu of the Song gave him a bronze spittoon about two feet high, which was constantly placed before his bed. Suddenly someone stole it. Baoyi took a single mat, rolled it up empty, and recited dhāraṇīs over it several times; after three nights, the spittoon was back inside the mat, and no one could fathom how. Thereupon, monastics and laypeople from near and far all revered him as extraordinary. Crown Prince Wenhui and Prince Wenxuan of the Qi, as well as Emperor Taizu of the Liang, all revered him and treated him as their master. In the final years of the Yongming reign, he passed away at his dwelling.
