代宗朝贈司空大辨正廣智三藏和上表制集 4.101

4.101

維大曆九年歲次甲寅七月戊戌朔六日癸卯。皇帝遣內給事劉仙鶴。以香茶之奠。敬祭于故大辨正廣智三藏和尚之靈。惟靈智識明晤天姿聰達。夙殖梵行。生知勝因。挺秀五天。周遊萬里。心蘊海藏。音通華夷。貝葉傳經。瑜伽演教。弘利兆庶。出入三朝。道在不言。理均無迹。涅盤常寂。至聖同歸。焚香澡身。與化而盡。朕承了義。禮具師資。永訣之辰攸深震慟。香茶之奠有靈昭之。

On the guimao day, the sixth day of the seventh month whose first day was wuxu, the jiayin year, the ninth year of the Dali reign (774), the Emperor dispatches Liu Xianhe, Court Attendant of the Inner Palace, with offerings of incense and tea, to reverently sacrifice to the spirit of the late Tripitaka Master and Upādhyāya of Great Eloquence, Rectitude, and Vast Wisdom. Oh spirit! Your wisdom and understanding were bright and clear; your natural endowment intelligent and penetrating. Early on, you cultivated pure conduct, naturally knowing superior causes. Outstanding across the Five Indias, you traveled ten thousand miles. Your mind held the ocean treasury; your voice communicated with both Chinese and foreigners. Palm leaves transmitted the scriptures; Yoga expounded the teachings. Broadly benefiting the myriad people, you served across three reigns. The Way lies beyond words; the principle is without trace. Nirvāṇa is eternally serene; the supreme sages return together to it. Burning incense and bathing your body, you ended along with the transformation. I received the definitive meaning; our rites fulfilled those of master and disciple. At the hour of eternal farewell, profound is my shock and grief. May your spirit look upon this offering of incense and tea.
