宋高僧傳 9.20

9.20

釋惟忠，姓童氏，成都府人也。幼從業於大光山道願禪師，神驥伏櫪，雖止也，發蹄則超忽千里焉。遊嵩嶽，見神會禪師，折疑沈默，處于大方。觀覽聖跡，見黃龍山欝翠而奇異，乃營茅舍。其窮溪極谷而多毒龍，噴氣濛濛，山民犯者多如中瘴焉，醫工寡効。忠初不知，獨居禪寂，㵎飲木食，其怪物皆卷而懷矣，山民無害。或聞空中聲云：「得師居此，民之多幸，令我解脫也。」鄉人因號是山為伏龍，言忠弭伏鱗蟲之長，故此名焉。以建中三年入滅，報齡七十八。其年九月遷塔云。

Shi Weizhong, whose surname was Tong, was a native of Chengdu Prefecture. In his youth he studied under Meditation Master Daoyuan of Mount Daguang; like a divine steed resting in the stable, though he remained still, once he set out his hooves he could gallop a thousand leagues. Traveling to Mount Song, he met Meditation Master Shenhui, resolved his doubts in silence, and took his place in the great sphere. Inspecting sacred traces, he saw that Mount Huanglong was lush, green, and extraordinary, and thus built a thatched hut. Deep in its streams and far into its valleys were many venomous dragons exhaling dense mists; local mountaineers who encountered them were mostly stricken as if by miasma, and doctors were of little help. Zhong initially did not know this; dwelling alone in meditative stillness, drinking from the torrent and eating wild fruits, the strange beasts all curled up and hid away, so that the mountaineers came to no harm. Some heard a voice in the air saying: 'That the Master resides here is a great blessing for the people, and it has caused me to attain liberation.' The local people therefore named the mountain Fulong (Subduing the Dragon), meaning that Zhong subdued the chief of the scaled creatures, hence this name. He passed away in the third year of Jianzhong at the age of seventy-eight. In the ninth month of that year, his pagoda was relocated.
