### [17.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.17.46)

皇帝當此十月之內。每因食於齒下得舍利。皇后亦然。以銀盌水浮其一。出示百官。須臾忽見有兩右旋相著。二貴人及晉王昭豫章王暕蒙賜蜆。勅令審視之。各於蜆內得舍利一。未過二旬。宮內凡得十九。多放光明。自是遠近道俗。所有舍利率奉獻焉。皇帝曰。何必皆是真。諸沙門相與推試之。果有十三玉粟。其真舍利鐵䆘而無損。

> During this tenth month, whenever the Emperor ate, he found relics beneath his teeth. So it was with the Empress as well. Floating one of them in water inside a silver bowl, he brought it out to show to the civil and military officials. In an instant, two were suddenly seen adhering to each other, rotating to the right. The two imperial consorts, as well as Zhao, King of Jin, and Jian, King of Yuzhang, were bestowed clams; an edict ordered them to inspect them carefully, and each obtained one relic from inside a clam. Before two decades of days had passed, nineteen relics in all were obtained in the palace, most of which emitted bright light. From then on, both monastics and laity from near and far brought and presented whatever relics they possessed. The Emperor said, 'Why must they all be genuine?' The monks tested them together; sure enough, there were thirteen jade grains. The genuine relics were struck on an iron anvil without suffering damage.
