右宋世合寺一千九百一十三所。譯經二十三人二百一十部。名僧智士欝。若稻麻。寶剎金輪森如竹葦。釋教隆盛篤信倍多。僧尼三萬六千人。

In total, during the Song dynasty, there were altogether 1,913 monasteries, twenty-three translators of scriptures who produced 210 works. Eminent monks and wise masters were as lush as stands of rice and hemp; precious shrines and golden wheels were as dense as thickets of bamboo and reed. The Buddhist teaching flourished, and the devout believers multiplied. There were 36,000 monks and nuns.
