4.6

士行遂終於于闐,春秋八十。依西方法闍維之,薪盡火滅,屍猶能全,眾咸驚異,乃呪曰:「若真得道,法當毀敗。」應聲碎散,因斂骨起塔焉。後弟子法益,從彼國來,親傳此事,故孫綽〈正像論〉云:「士行散形於于闐。」此之謂也。

Shixing eventually died in Khotan at the age of eighty. In accordance with the Western method, he was cremated; when the firewood was exhausted and the fire extinguished, his corpse was still completely intact. The assembly was astonished and marveled, whereupon someone chanted an incantation, saying: 'If he truly attained the Way, according to the Dharma it should disintegrate.' In response to the words, it shattered and dispersed, whereupon they gathered the bones and erected a stūpa for them. Later, his disciple Fayi came from that country and personally related this matter; therefore Sun Chuo's 'Treatise on the True and Image [Dharma]' states: 'Shixing dissolved his form in Khotan.' It refers to this.
