### [9.68](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.9.68)

老子化胡歌曰。我在舍衛時。約勅瞿曇身。汝共摩訶薩。齎經來東秦。歷落神州界。迫至東海間。廣宣世尊法。教授聾俗人。與子威神法。化道滿千年。年滿時當還。慎莫戀東秦。無令天帝怒。太上蹋地瞋。

> The Song of Laozi Converting the Barbarians says:  
> “When I was in Śrāvastī,  
> I charged and commanded Gautama in person:  
> ‘You and the Mahāsattvas  
> Shall carry the scriptures to the Eastern Qin.  
> Traverse the borders of the Divine Continent,  
> Reaching right to the Eastern Sea.  
> Broadly proclaim the World-Honoured One’s Dharma,  
> Instructing and transforming the deaf, worldly people.  
> I bestow upon you the awe-inspiring, spiritual methods;  
> Your teaching and conversion shall fulfill a thousand years.  
> When the years are fulfilled, you must return;  
> Be careful not to yearn for the Eastern Qin.  
> Do not cause the Heavenly Emperor to rage,  
> Or the Most High to stamp upon the ground in wrath!’”
