宋高僧傳 30.18

30.18

釋亡名，履行尤峻，獨居燕城南窰竈間。天祐中，幽、薊不稔，道殍相望。因分衛迴，聞車轍中呱呱之聲，憫而收歸，乃飢民所棄女子也。以求牛乳哺之。當七八歲，引於城中求色帛以衣之。及笄年也，容色豓麗，殆非凡俗，或譏呵者，僧終無渝志。適遇燕帥劉仁恭從禽逐兔，直入僧居窰內。一卒見女子侍僧之側，遂白帥，劉往親見，問其故，皆以實對。劉曰：「弟子欲收之，可乎？」僧曰：「諾。」早驗無悋意，自扶上馬。歸府，元真處子也，劉益哀之，不令伍於下位。仍重其僧，謂為果位中人也。別造精舍以處之，劉一旬兩往謁焉。其僧疾沒，門人入訃，女方獨坐，聞之哀慟而死焉。劉為僧營塔標誌矣。又祝融峯禪者（亡名），為人抗直，不事威儀，每一舉揚，善標宗要，道俗歸之若市。甞飲酒遇毒，當時吐下，透落腐衣裂石，體中無惱。每有一蛇一虎為衛護狀。迨終闍維，留骨一片，大如琵琶槽。僧眾構火重焚，焚時色同火質，火盡灰寒，色白如雪，豈非得全身分堅固設利羅乎！至今嶽中傳其言句，立其浮圖，號祝融峯道者焉。

Śramaṇa The Anonymous had exceptionally strict conduct, dwelling alone among the kiln ovens south of the city of Yan. During the Tianyou era, there was famine in You and Ji, and the corpses of those starved to death lined the roads. Returning from gathering alms, he heard wailing sounds in the wheel ruts; taking pity, he gathered it up and returned home: it was a baby girl abandoned by starving people. He sought cow's milk to feed her. When she was seven or eight years old, he led her into the city to beg for colored silk to clothe her. When she reached marriageable age, her countenance was beautiful and charming, scarcely like that of ordinary mortals. Though some ridiculed and reproached him, the monk never wavered in his purpose. It happened that Liu Rengong, the military commander of Yan, pursued rabbits on a hunt and rode straight into the monk's dwelling inside the kiln. A soldier saw the young woman attending beside the monk and reported it to the commander. Liu went in person to see her and asked the reason; the monk answered everything with the truth. Liu said, 'This disciple wishes to take her in; may I?' The monk said, 'Yes.' Having early tested that he had no begrudging intent, [Liu] personally helped her mount a horse. When they returned to the mansion, she was fundamentally a pure maiden. Liu pitied her all the more and did not place her in a low rank. Furthermore, he revered the monk, regarding him as a person established in the stage of realization. He specially built a vihāra for him to dwell in, and Liu went to visit him twice every ten days. When the monk fell ill and died, a disciple came to deliver the funeral announcement; the girl was sitting alone, and upon hearing it, she died of grief and lamentation. Liu erected a stupa for the monk to commemorate him. There was also the Chan Practitioner of Zhurong Peak (Anonymous), who was upright and straightforward in nature, paying no heed to formal decorum. Whenever he expounded [the Dharma], he skillfully indicated the essentials of the lineage, and monastics and laypeople flocked to him like a marketplace. Once, he drank poisoned wine; at that moment, he vomited and purged it downward, and wherever it seeped or fell, it rotted clothes and cracked stone, yet there was no distress within his body. There was always a snake and a tiger acting as his guards. When he died and was cremated (jhāpita), a piece of bone remained, as large as the body of a pipa. The monastic assembly built up a fire to burn it again; while burning, its color was identical with the substance of fire, and when the fire died out and the ashes cooled, its color was white as snow—was this not the attainment of a firm śarīra from a whole-body division? To this day, his sayings are transmitted on the mountain, and a stupa has been erected for him, hailing him as the Daoist Practitioner of Zhurong Peak.
