閏州江寧縣故都朱雀門東南古越城東。廢長干寺內。昔西晉僧慧達感光。掘之一丈得三石匣。中有金函盛三舍利并髮爪。其髮引可三尺。放則螺旋。今有塼塔三層并剎佛殿。餘但榛木大蟲登基穢污者被打號叫驚人。或有死者。

Inside the abandoned Changgan Temple, east of the ancient Yue Citadel and southeast of the Suzaku Gate of the old capital in Jiangning County of Runzhou: formerly, in the Western Jin, the monk Huida sensed its light, and digging down one zhang, he obtained three stone caskets. Inside was a golden box holding three śarīras, together with hair and nail relics. When pulled, the hair stretched to about three feet; when released, it spiraled back. Today there is a three-story brick stupa along with a mast and Buddha hall. The rest is merely thicket and hazel wood; when tigers climbed onto the base and defiled it, they were struck so that they howled and terrified people, and some died.
