車駕往來。不冒風雨。其宏麗雄贍。如此之大也。但知縱耳目之所欲。而不知役人民之疲苦。唯恣驕奢罔修國政。不其滅國其在何耶。今我沙門。雖處華堂紺宇。但以晨鐘夕梵遠風疎磬。褒讚金言生人天福（今我沙門。雖以如是但用晨鐘暮鼓俾揚舉梵唄。上乃祝皇王聖壽。下乃與黎民祈福永遠。闡揚于風化也）。

The imperial carriage came and went without being exposed to wind and rain. Its grandeur and vast splendor were as great as this! He only knew how to indulge the desires of his ears and eyes, and did not know the weariness and suffering of working the people. He merely indulged in haughty extravagance and failed to cultivate the state's governance. Did this not destroy his state? What else could it do? Now, though we śramaṇas dwell in splendid halls and navy-blue sanctuaries, we only use the morning bell and evening chanting, the distant breeze and the sparse sounding-stone, to extol the golden words and generate blessings for humans and devas. (Now, though we śramaṇas dwell in such [places], we only use the morning bell and evening drum to raise and chant the Buddhist hymns; above, to pray for the holy longevity of the august sovereign, and below, to pray for blessings for the common people forever, propagating moral transformation.)
