沙門飛錫等言。伏奉八月二十六日中使高品李憲誠宣　聖旨。令京城諸寺釋門眾轉大般若孔雀王等經。精勤止雨。用副　聖心者。飛錫聞。帝堯至聖不無水雨之多。大雲寶經亦有請止之化。頃者稍如霖霪。納慮於隍　陛下親露心於金人。每焚香於玉殿。遂使晴光上升折重雲而四照。惠風旁振掃氛霧於八方。粢盛可期。倉庾恒溢。斯皆天慈精詣。僧等何知。凡在道俗無任感戴。謹附中使李憲誠奉表陳賀以聞。沙門飛錫等誠歡誠躍謹言。

The śramaṇa Feixi and others state: On the twenty-sixth day of the eighth month, we respectfully received the high-ranking palace commissioner Li Xiancheng proclaiming the sacred decree ordering the members of the Śākya clan in various temples of the capital to chant the Great Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra, the Mahāmāyūrī Sūtra, and others, diligently praying to stop the rain so as to comply with the sacred heart. Feixi has heard: Even with the supreme sagacity of Emperor Yao, there was no lack of excessive rain; the Mahāmegha Sūtra also contains methods for praying for it to cease. Recently, the downpour seemed continuous, causing worries over flooding. Your Majesty personally laid bare your mind before the Golden Image and constantly burned incense in the Jade Palace. Thereupon, clear sunlight ascended, piercing the thick clouds to shine in all four directions; a gentle breeze arose, sweeping away the mist in all eight directions. The sacrificial grain can be expected, and granaries will ever overflow. These are all due to the supreme dedication of heavenly compassion; what could we monks know of it? Everyone among the religious and the laity cannot bear their gratitude. We respectfully submit this memorial via the palace commissioner Li Xiancheng to offer our congratulations and bring them to your hearing. The śramaṇa Feixi and others state this with sincere joy and leaping delight.
