宋高僧傳 1.41

1.41

Upon first arriving in Nanhai Commandery, the Surveillance Commissioner Liu Julin earnestly requested initiation; thereupon at Faxing Temple he successively delivered hundreds, thousands, and myriads of people. Amoghavajra himself prayed before his primary deity for ten days, and elicited a personal manifestation of Mañjuśrī. When he was about to board the ship, the Surveillance Commissioner summoned and admonished the grand chief of the foreign merchants in the Panyu borderlands, Yixibin, and others, saying: 'Now the Tripiṭaka Master is traveling to the Lion Country in South India. You must instruct the ship's captain to take good care of the Tripiṭaka Master, along with his twenty-one disciples such as Hanguang and Huibian, and the official state credentials, and deliver them thither, allowing no negligence or mishap.'
