### [2.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2076.2.42)

不如密多聞偈再啟祖曰。法衣宜可傳授。祖曰。此衣為難故假以證明。汝身無難何假其衣。化被十方人自信向。不如密多聞語作禮而退。祖現于神變化三昧火自焚。平地舍利可高一尺。得勝王創浮圖而祕之。當東晉明帝太寧三年乙酉歲也。

> Having heard the verse, Punyamitra spoke again to the Patriarch, “The Dharma robe should be transmitted.” The Patriarch said, “This robe was used as proof because of disaster. Since there is no disaster for your person, why use that robe? When your conversion covers the ten directions, people will naturally have faith and turn to you.” Hearing these words, Punyamitra made obeisance and withdrew. The Patriarch manifested supernatural transformations, producing the fire of samādhi to incinerate himself. On the level ground, the relics rose about a foot high. King Desheng built a stūpa and enshrined them. It was the third year, the yiyou year, of the Taining era of Emperor Ming of the Eastern Jin.
