3.29

沙門不空言。中使姜庭瓌至奉宣　聖旨。屬以亢陽令祈雨。限七日得者。不空聞。絲言必准者君也。綸發必從者臣也。伏惟　陛下。明四目達四聰。天高聽卑憂心嫁穡。可謂元首之至明矣。既奉天詔。旋嚴道場。莫不勠其力一其心。使　陛下天成依諸佛遺教。微誠懇極。至誠感神。無勞燕舞之徵。已降普天之澤。下順人望。上赴　聖心。足蹈手舞無任抃躍。謹奉表陳賀以聞。沙門不空誠歡誠喜謹言。

The monk Amoghavajra states: Palace Commissioner Jiang Tinggui arrived and reverently proclaimed the sacred decree: owing to severe drought, I was ordered to pray for rain, with a limit of seven days to obtain it. Amoghavajra has heard: it is the ruler whose silken words are surely realized; it is the minister who surely obeys when the cords are issued. I prostrate in contemplation that Your Majesty clarifies the four eyes and opens the four ears, dwelling high as Heaven yet listening low, anxious over the crops; you may truly be called the most enlightened sovereign. Having received the heavenly decree, I immediately prepared the arena, where all united their strength and made one their minds, so that Your Majesty's heavenly completion would rely on the bequeathed teachings of the Buddhas. My meager sincerity was earnest in the extreme, and perfect sincerity moves the spirits: without needing the sign of the swallow's dance, the moisture of universal heaven had already descended. Below, it fulfilled the people's hopes; above, it answered the sacred mind. Dancing with hands and feet, I am overjoyed beyond measure. I respectfully present this memorial to offer congratulations and report. The monk Amoghavajra, in true joy and delight, respectfully speaks.
