1.11

I asked again: "In what era was the ancient image erected that emerged from the mountain at Xianji Temple in Fangzhou?" He replied: "The image was made by Duke Mu of Qin. The place where the image emerged is where King Mu of Zhou built a temple. After the Buddha passed away, the fourth daughter of King Aśoka also made an image and a stupa, making offerings there. At that time, an attainment-holder of the third fruit resided in this temple, whom the Qin prime minister Youyu revered. Formerly, during the time of Kāśyapa Buddha, a temple was also established here; it was built by that novice named Xianji. Following its original name, it was made the temple's plaque."
