十六懷州妙樂寺塔者。在州東武陟縣西七里。妙樂寺中見有五級白浮圖塔。方可十五步。並是側石編砌。石長五尺闊三寸。以下鱗次葺之極細密。道俗目見咸驚訝其鬼作。其下不測其底。古老相傳。塔從地涌。下有大水。委莫真虛。有刺史疑僧濫飾。乃使人傍掘其下。至泉源猶不盡其基際也。

> Sixteenth: The Miaole Temple stūpa in Huaizhou is seven li west of Wuzhi County, east of the prefecture. In Miaole Temple there is now a five-tiered white stūpa, about fifteen paces square, constructed entirely of edged stones laid in courses. The stones are five feet long and three inches wide, laid one upon another like fish scales below in an extremely close-knit manner. Clerics and laypeople who see it with their own eyes are all astonished, considering it the work of spirits. Beneath it, its bottom cannot be measured. Old traditions relate that the stūpa welled up from the earth, and beneath it there are great waters, though none truly know whether this is fact or fiction. A regional inspector suspected the monks of exaggerated ornamentation and had people dig beside it beneath; reaching the springhead, they still did not reach the limits of its foundation.
