後東反姑蘇，復專當法匠。臺寺沙門道流，請停歲許。又東適上虞徐山，學徒隨往百有餘人。化洽三吳，聲馳上國。陳郡謝靈運，以德音致欵。宋世祖藉其風素，勅出京師，止定林下寺。頻建法聚，德眾雲集。著《法華》、《維摩》、《泥洹義疏》，并《毘曇玄論》。區別義類，有條貫焉。宋元徽中卒，春秋六十有七。

Later he returned east to Gusu, where he again served exclusively as a Dharma master. The śramaṇas and practitioners of the court temples requested him to stay for about a year. He then went east to Mount Xu in Shangyu, followed by more than one hundred students. His teaching spread through the Sanwu region, and his fame sped to the imperial capital. Xie Lingyun of Chen Commandery conveyed his sincere devotion through letters of virtuous praise. Emperor Shizu of the Song dynasty, relying on his pure demeanor, decreed that he come out to the capital, where he resided at Lower Dinglin Temple. He frequently established Dharma assemblies, where virtuous assemblies gathered like clouds. He authored commentaries on the *Saddharmapuṇḍarīka-sūtra*, the *Vimalakīrtinirdeśa-sūtra*, and the *Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra*, as well as the *Profound Treatise on the Abhidharma*. He distinguished doctrinal categories in a coherent and systematic manner. He died during the Yuanhui era of the Song dynasty at the age of sixty-seven.
