Emperor Wu, Gaozu of Song (He initiated the sagely enterprise and established the reign era, returning to simplicity and innocence. He chanted the Indic texts and copied the vinaya sūtras by hand. He built the two monasteries of Linggen and Fawang to provide for and summon one thousand monks, both worthy sages and comprehensive scholars.) / Emperor Ming, Taizong of Song (His supreme governance brought flourishing prosperity. He chanted the Prajñā [sūtras] aloud. He made four eighteen-foot golden images; when the casting failed, he modified them to fourteen feet, and they were immediately completed to perfection. Their adornment accomplished, they returned to eighteen feet in height. When he concluded a vegetarian feast with the morning meal, śarīra relics were miraculously elicited. He constructed the Hongpuzhong Monastery to summon eminent monks.) / Emperor Wen, Taizu of Song (He kept vegetarian feasts without taking life, dedicating his mind to admiring the Dao. Shangzhi provided an elegant reply, identifying the Buddhist precepts as fundamental; through sitting still, great peace was achieved, just as the sagely intention desired. Revering Guṇabhadra, he dedicated himself to promoting the great Dharma. He built Chanyun Monastery and continually made offerings to one thousand monks.)
