二十一年五月詔曰。羅什法師可謂神出五才志入四行者也。今常住寺猶有遺蹤。欽悅循跡情深遐邇。可於舊堂所為建三級佛圖。又見逼昏虐為道珍軀。既暫同俗禮。應有子胤。可推訪以聞當加敘接。先是立監福曹。又改為昭玄。備有官屬以斷僧務。即如今同文寺崇玄署是也。高祖時知名沙門有道順慧覺僧意慧紀僧範道辯慧度智誕僧顯僧義僧利。並以義行重焉。

> In the fifth month of the twenty-first year, an edict stated: 'Dharma Master Kumārajīva can indeed be said to have possessed a spirit surpassing the five faculties and an aspiration conforming to the four modes of conduct. Traces of him still remain at Changzhu Temple. Delighted to trace his footsteps, Our sentiments run deep toward him across time and space. A three-tiered stūpa may be erected for him at the site of his old hall. Furthermore, having been coerced by the tyrannical and violent, he preserved his person for the sake of the Way; since he temporarily conformed to secular rituals, he should have descendants. Let inquiries be made to report them to the throne, so that proper appointments and reception may be granted.' Prior to this, the Bureau for the Supervision of Merit had been established, later renamed the Office of Zhaoxuan, equipped with official staff to adjudicate saṅgha affairs, which is the equivalent of the present-day Chongxuan Office of Tongwen Temple. Prominent śramaṇas during the time of Gaozu included Daoshun, Huijue, Sengyi, Huiji, Sengfan, Daobian, Huidu, Zhidān, Sengxian, Sengyi, and Sengli, all of whom were esteemed for their doctrinal learning and righteous conduct.
