贊曰。奭之事與善和鍾馗異。彼則生平造業。臨歿輸誠。此則預革前非。久修善業。往生品位。必過於二人矣。

An appraisal states: Jin Shi's affair differs from those of Zhang Shanhe and Zhang Zhongkui. The latter committed karma throughout their lives and offered their sincere devotion only on the brink of death; the former reformed his past wrongs beforehand and cultivated good karma for a long time. His grade of rebirth must surely surpass that of those two men.
