和和者。莫詳氏族。其為僧也狂亂。發言多中。時號為聖。有越國公主適滎陽鄭萬鈞數年無子。萬鈞請曰。吾無嗣願得一子。唯師降恩可乎。師曰。遺我三千匹絹。主當誕兩男。鈞如言施之。和取絹赴寺云修功德。乃謂鈞曰。主有娠矣。吾令二天人下為公主作兒。又曰。公主腹小能併妊二男乎。吾當使同年而前後耳。公主遂妊。年初歲終各誕一子。長曰潛曜。少曰晦明。皆美丈夫博通有識焉。
Hehe's family origin was unknown. As a monk, he appeared mad and unruly, yet his utterances often hit the mark, and people at the time hailed him as a sage. Princess Yueguo had been married to Zheng Wanjun of Xingyang for several years without bearing children. Wanjun petitioned him, saying: "I have no heir and wish to obtain a son. May the Master bestow your grace?" The Master said: "Give me three thousand bolts of silk, and the Princess shall give birth to two sons." Jun made the donation as instructed. He took the silk to the monastery, saying it was to cultivate merit, and then said to Jun: "The Princess is pregnant. I have commanded two devas to descend and become the Princess's sons." He also said: "The Princess's belly is small; can she carry two boys at once? I shall have them born in the same year, one earlier and one later." The Princess indeed became pregnant. At the beginning of the year and at the end of the year, she gave birth to a son each. The elder was named Qianyao, and the younger was named Huiming. Both grew into handsome men, broadly learned and possessing keen discernment.
