又迦葉佛時。震旦國之一人書大毘尼藏及修多羅藏。其修多羅經。銀紙金書。毘尼律金紙銀書。當爾書時。在荊州大明寺寫。經在蓮華東南臺內。律在葉上西面臺。莊嚴供養不可說盡。諸百億四天下中文字。與此同者。斯有鍾張王衛之儔。未足為比。如來在日。諸國聖人來者。多以此經律示之。佛去之後。文殊師利收此經律。安在清涼山金剛窟中。

Furthermore, in the time of Kāśyapa Buddha, a person from the land of Cīnasthāna transcribed the great Vinaya-piṭaka and the Sūtra-piṭaka. As for the sūtras, they were written in gold on silver paper; as for the vinaya, it was written in silver on golden paper. At the time of this transcribing, it was copied at Daming Temple in Jingzhou. The sūtras were kept inside the southeastern terrace on a lotus blossom; the vinaya was kept in the western terrace above its leaves. Their adornments and offerings cannot be fully described. Among the scripts within the hundreds of millions of sets of four continents, for any to match this—even peers such as Zhong, Zhang, Wang, or Wei could not serve as a comparison. When the Tathāgata was in the world, whenever sages from various kingdoms came, he would often show them these scriptures and precepts. After the Buddha passed away, Mañjuśrī gathered these scriptures and precepts and deposited them in the Diamond Cave on Mount Qingliang.
