2.18

又邙山有巨蛇,畏見之,歎曰:「欲決瀦洛陽城耶?」以天竺語呪數百聲,不日蛇死。乃安祿山陷洛陽之兆也。

Furthermore, on Mount Mang there was a giant serpent. When Śubhakarasiṃha saw it, he sighed and said: "Do you wish to breach the dikes and inundate the city of Luoyang?" He uttered several hundred chants in the Indian tongue, and within a few days, the serpent died. This was an omen of An Lushan's capture of Luoyang.
