The śramaṇa Juechao and others state: On the twenty-seventh day of the eighth month, we respectfully received the palace commissioner Wei Xinglin proclaiming the sacred decree: as the heavy rain has lingered for long, order was given to stop the rain. Juechao and the others, suddenly receiving the imperial words, doubled our reverent sincerity, praying to the naga spirits day and night with pure devotion and exhausting our heartfelt effort. Supported by Your Majesty's heavenly majesty, the clouds gathered and the rain stopped, and the autumn crops were all assisted in flourishing and bearing fruit. We humbly reflect that the Emperor's sagacious virtue moves heaven and nurtures all creatures like children; the entire land rejoices in heart, and the hundred officials all celebrate. The monks of the ritual arena cannot bear our utmost joyful leaping. We respectfully submit this memorial via the palace commissioner Yue Lingqin to present our congratulations and bring them to your hearing. The śramaṇa Juechao and others state this with sincere joy and delight.
