宋高僧傳 20.41

20.41

釋普滿者，未知何許人也。於汾、晉間，所為率意，不拘僧體，或歌或哭，莫喻其旨。以言斥事，往必有徵，故時人以強練、萬迴待之。或入稽胡，激勸修善，至有罷弋獵者。建中初，於潞州佛舍中題詩數篇而亡去。所記者云：「此水連涇水，雙朱血滿川；青牛將赤虎，還號太平年。」題後，人莫能知。至朱泚為涇源叛徒推擁，駕幸奉天。于時天下徵兵，關輔賊據，圍逼連戰，人方解悟。此水者，泚也；涇水者，涇州來兵始亂也；雙朱，泚與滔也；青牛者，興元元年乙丑——乙木，青也；丑，牛也——，其年改元貞元，至二年丙寅——丙火，赤也；寅，虎也——，至是賊始平，故曰還號太平年也。

Shi Puman's origins are unknown. In the region between the Fen and Jin, his actions were heedless and unconstrained by monastic deportment; he would sing or weep, and none could comprehend his meaning. Whenever he criticized affairs in speech, there was always verification, so people of the time treated him as they did Qianglian and Wanhui. Sometimes he entered among the Jihu people and exhorted them to cultivate the good, even bringing some to abandon hunting. In the early Jianzhong era, he wrote several poems in a Buddhist hall in Luzhou and disappeared. What was recorded read: 'This water connects to the Jing River; double Zhu's blood fills the stream; / The blue ox leads the red tiger, and the era is once more called peaceful.' After it was inscribed, no one could understand it. Later, when Zhu Ci was supported by the rebels of Jingyuan and the emperor fled to Fengtian, troops were conscripted throughout the realm, the capital region was occupied by bandits, and they laid siege and fought continuously; only then did people understand. 'This water' (ci shui) was [Zhu] Ci; 'the Jing River' meant the troops arriving from Jingzhou that initiated the rebellion; 'double Zhu' referred to Ci and [Zhu] Tao; 'the blue ox' was the first year of Xingyuan, yichou—yi being wood, which is blue; chou being the ox; in that year the reign era was changed to Zhenyuan, and by the second year, bingyin—bing being fire, which is red; yin being the tiger—the bandits were finally quelled; hence it said, 'the era is once more called peaceful.'
