In the twelfth month, he released his falcon in the wild marshlands. His companions saw that both the falcon and a pheasant had dropped together. At that time, a fire was burning the plain flat; only a patch of grass about thirty feet across remained unburnt. They then parted the grasses and searched there, whereupon they obtained a seated gold statue of a bodhisattva. Together with its pedestal it was one foot high, and its workmanship was extraordinarily skillful. At that time, the magistrate of Dingxiang thought it had been hidden by a thief, so he issued an official notice throughout his borders inquiring if anyone had lost a statue. \[As no one claimed it,\] he thereupon collected and made offerings to it. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 14.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.14.6) - [Next: 14.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.14.8) - [Up: 14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.14) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.14.7) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [集神州三寶感通錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2106.2.25) — 道宣, Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.14.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.14.7) · Pramāṇa
