弟子蕭綱。又重至心歸依三寶。竊聞記稱弗傲。表洙泗之遺文。經云不慢。驗踰闍之妙典。故一遇恒神。陵伽尚卒餘習。上賓天帝。淮南猶有誤辭。亦有才曰隱淪調惟高俗。猶足坐痹晉君立前齊主。況復道隆三學法兼五眾。如過前殿似出北門。而不密室致恭遺弓接足。敢藉勝緣願起弘誓。從今日始乃至菩提。於諸出家悉表虔敬。方欲削除七慢折制六根。賓頭下步庶無厥咎。耆達棄車方思景慕。幽顯大眾咸為證明。

Disciple Xiao Gang again and repeatedly with utmost sincerity takes refuge in the triratna. I have humbly heard that the Records declare 'do not be haughty,' displaying the handed-down writings of the Zhu and Si rivers; the sūtras state 'do not be arrogant,' verifying the wondrous scriptures of Ayodhyā. Thus, upon once meeting the river spirit, the King of Laṅkā still had residual habits; ascending as a guest to the Celestial Emperor, the Prince of Huainan still had improper words. There were also those whose talent was called reclusive and whose demeanor was held to be lofty and aloof, yet it was still enough to leave the Lord of Jin sitting in paralysis and stand before the Ruler of Qi. How much more so for those whose Dao is lofty in the three trainings and whose Dharma combines the five assemblies! Yet, as if passing before the front palace, or like leaving through the north gate, one does not pay reverence in a secluded chamber, nor discard the bow to touch their feet. Presuming upon these superior conditions, I vow to give rise to a great aspiration: from this day forward until bodhi, toward all who have left the household I shall show utmost devotion and reverence. I intend to eliminate the seven types of arrogance and subdue the six sense organs; as Piṇḍola walked on foot, may I be free from that fault; as Jīvaka abandoned his carriage, I now yearn to emulate him. May the unseen and visible assemblies all bear witness.
