代宗朝贈司空大辨正廣智三藏和上表制集 2.119

2.119

沙門不空言。不空早侍先大和上。猥承㢡訓。愧無昇堂之哲。謬忝入室之遇。曼茶羅灌頂壇者。萬行之宗。密證之主。將登覺路何莫由斯。始先師所傳啟此方耳目。惠燈罷照日月將深　陛下思續耿光。不遺疵賤　詔開灌頂俾建道場。纔髣髴於存羊。豈歸依之補處　皇慈乃眷。渥澤累霑。降五僧泥封。雲隨髮落。下千人天飯。香任風吹。況塔額親題桂諸伊落。龍門之下更攢崛起之峯。月輪之間恒聚沖飛之雁。無任戴荷屏營之至。謹附監使李憲誠。奉表陳謝以聞。沙門不空誠歡誠喜謹言。

The śramaṇa Amoghavajra speaks: Early on, I served my late great master and undeservedly received his instructions. Ashamed to lack the wisdom of those who ascend to the hall, I was yet mistakenly granted the privilege of entering his chamber. The maṇḍala abhiṣeka altar is the source of the myriad practices and the sovereign of secret realization; when ascending the path of awakening, what does not proceed from this? When first transmitted by my late master, it opened the eyes and ears of this land. But the lamp of wisdom ceased its shining, and the sun and moon have grown ever more distant. Your Majesty, pondering the continuation of that radiant brilliance and not discarding this flawed and humble servant, issued an edict to open abhiṣeka and establish an arena. Barely resembling the preserved sacrificial sheep, how could I be an heir worthy of refuge? Yet imperial compassion bestowed its favour, and moistening grace repeatedly soaked me: an edict sealed with clay was granted to ordain five monks, their clouds [of hair] falling as their locks were shorn; heavenly meals were bestowed for a thousand persons, their fragrance borne upon the breeze. Furthermore, Your Majesty personally inscribed the plaque for the pagoda, suspended beside the rivers Yi and Luo. Beneath Dragon Gate, rising peaks gather anew; amidst the lunar disk, soaring wild geese continually assemble. Unable to bear my extreme sense of gratitude, trepidation, and trembling, I have respectfully entrusted Commissioner Li Xiancheng to present this memorial expressing thanks for Your Majesty's notice. The śramaṇa Amoghavajra, with sincere joy and delight, respectfully speaks.
