宋文致敬求那（釋鑑。五代時。宋文帝元嘉年間。帝見求那般摩法師云。弟子常欲齋戒不遂。望師教之。師曰。帝王與匹夫修之名異匹夫身賤名劣。帝王乃四海為家。與萬民為王。不殺之德亦為重矣。帝曰。師言真為開悟人心。明達物理。帝深敬仰）。

> Emperor Wen of the Song paid his respects to Guṇa\[varman\]. (The Mirror of the Śākya Lineage states: During the Five Dynasties \[period / Southern Dynasties\], in the Yuanjia era of Emperor Wen of the Song, the emperor met Dharma Master Guṇavarman and said: "This disciple constantly wishes to observe the fast and precepts but has not succeeded; I hope the Master will instruct me." The master said: "Cultivation differs between emperors and commoners. A commoner's person is humble and his reputation lowly; an emperor takes the four seas as his home and acts as king over myriad people. The virtue of not killing is also weighty." The emperor said: "The Master's words truly awaken human minds and comprehend the principles of things." The emperor deeply revered him.)
