宋高僧傳 19.43

19.43

釋待駕，俗姓王氏，金水縣人也。沖孺出家，作為詭異，其父立名待駕，當天寶末也。練行精進，時號「頭陀」。及玄宗巡幸，果自詣府剃䰂為僧。至是「待駕得度」，其言信矣。駕去縣邑二十里，開逕芟茅，獨居山頂，後成一寺。此山絕多靈跡，初名石城，迨明皇至劍門，山神見形迎駕，稱姓李氏，勅賜與玄孫之稱。後陟武擔東臺，遠望祥雲紫氣，盤結空界，問左右曰：「此何處？」對曰：「石城山。」乃悟山神扈衛之意，遂改雲頂為慈雲寺也。駕後卒于此寺。又福州楞伽寺釋懷一，景龍中銳意於愛同寺東造精舍，相度地形，無水濟用，方拱手而去。忽山禽擊鬪於地，一異之，命工穴深尺餘，甘泉沸湧。此後伏臘而無加耗。寺中每有休咎，必暫減耗，候以知之，風俗謂之「靈泉」焉。以永泰二年歸寂，弟子超悟奏乞代宗題寺額。上首曰智恒，次行弼。越州刺史皇甫政為碑紀德，襄州節度使于頔書焉。

Śramaṇa Daijia, whose secular surname was Wang, was a native of Jinshui County. He left secular life while still a youth and acted in an eccentric manner; his father gave him the name Daijia ('Awaiting the Imperial Chariot'), which was at the end of the Tianbao era. Refining his practice with diligence, he was called a 'dhūta' at the time. When Xuanzong made an imperial tour, he indeed went to the temporary palace on his own and shaved his head to become a monk. At this, the words 'awaiting the carriage to obtain ordination' proved true. Over twenty li away from the county seat, Daijia cleared paths, cut away grass, and lived alone on the mountain peak, which later became a temple. This mountain had a great many miraculous vestiges. At first it was called Shicheng. When Minghuang arrived at Jianmen, the mountain god manifested his form to welcome the imperial carriage, stated his surname was Li, and was granted by imperial decree the title of great-great-grandson. Later, ascending the Eastern Terrace of Wudan, the emperor looked from afar at auspicious clouds and purple vapor coiling in the air, and asked his attendants, 'What place is that?' They answered, 'Mount Shicheng.' He then realized the intention of the mountain god in providing protection, and thereupon changed [the name of] Yunding ('Cloud Peak') to Ciyun Temple ('Compassionate Cloud Temple'). Daijia later died at this temple. There was also Śramaṇa Huiyi of Lengqie Temple in Fuzhou, who during the Jinglong era resolved to build a monastery to the east of Aitong Temple. Sizing up the topography, he found no water for practical use and was just about to clasp his hands and leave, when suddenly mountain fowl fought each other on the ground. Yi found it unusual and ordered workmen to dig a pit over a foot deep, whereupon sweet spring water welled up. Thereafter, through summer and winter it neither increased nor diminished. Whenever there was good or bad fortune in the temple, the water would temporarily decrease, so that people watched it to know the future; the local custom called it the 'Miraculous Spring.' In the second year of Yongtai he entered quiescence; his disciple Chaowu submitted a memorial requesting Emperor Daizong to inscribe the temple plaque. The senior disciple was Zhiheng, and the next was Xingbi. Huangfu Zheng, the prefect of Yuezhou, composed an inscription recording his virtues, and Yu Di, the military commissioner of Xiangzhou, calligraphed it.
