The śramaṇa Amoghavajra states: Concerning the Mañjuśrī Pavilion, we previously received the imperial command designating the fourteenth of this month for the ridgepole-raising. Heavenly grace has kindly descended, specially bestowing vegetarian fare for a thousand monks, two hundred strings of copper cash for the ridgepole-raising, two thousand fried cakes, two thousand sesame flatbreads, two hundred bundles of tea, ten vats of fragrantly prepared broth, ten sets of platters with curd and honey foods, fifteen sweet mandarins, and forty sugarcanes. Palace couriers followed one after another upon the roads, and food overflowed along the avenues. Delicacies from the imperial banquet fully sated the great assembly; broths and teas from the Heavenly Kitchen universally refreshed the gentry and commoners. The sagacious favor is excessive; by what steps could I repay its efficacy? The wise all say that in the nearly one thousand years since the Buddha's Dharma came to the east, ancient sovereigns certainly cultivated merit, yet in broad benefits and vast propagation, truly none have matched today's Sovereign on High! How fortunate is Amoghavajra to be born into this sagacious court and to transmit the mantras to assist the imperial transformation! Even with a hundred lives, not sparing day or night in diligent recitation, how could I repay a ten-thousandth? Unable to bear my utmost joy and awe, I respectfully append this memorial via Inspector-Commissioner Li Xiancheng to offer my thanks and bring it to your hearing. The śramaṇa Amoghavajra, truly grateful and humbled, respectfully speaks.
