2.48

Having transmitted the Dharma, the Venerable One immediately stood up from his seat, extended his left and right hands, and each emitted radiance, with twenty-seven rays of five-colored bright light. He then leaped into the void to the height of seven tāla trees, transformed into fire, and cremated himself. Relics fell like rain from the sky, which were collected to build a stūpa. It was the first year of the Daming era of Emperor Xiaowu of the Song dynasty, a dingyou year (The *Zhengzong ji* states: 'It was the reign of Emperor Xiaowu of the Song.' It also notes: 'Calculating by Bodhidharma's sixty-seven years, it should be the first year of the Jianyuan era of Emperor Xiaowu of the Song, a jiawu year').
