益州郭下法成寺有沙門道卓。是名僧也。大業初雒縣寺塔。無人修葺纔有下基。卓乃率化四部造木浮圖。莊飾備矣。塔為龍護。居在西南角井中。時有相現。側有三池莫知深淺。三龍居之人莫臨視。貞觀十三年。三龍大鬪雷霆振擊。水火交飛久之乃靜。塔如本住人皆拾取龍毛長三尺許。黃赤可愛。

> At Facheng Temple in the suburbs of Yizhou, there was the śramaṇa Daozhuo, an eminent monk. At the beginning of the Daye reign-period, the pagoda of Luoxian Temple had no one to repair it, having only its lower foundation. Zhuo led and inspired the four assemblies to construct a wooden pagoda, fully adorning it. The pagoda was protected by dragons who lived in a well at the southwestern corner, and signs would appear from time to time. Beside it were three ponds of unknown depth where three dragons dwelled; no one dared to look down into them. In the thirteenth year of the Zhenguan reign-period, the three dragons engaged in a great battle: thunderclaps and lightning struck, and water and fire flew back and forth for a long time before it grew quiet. The pagoda remained standing as before. People all picked up dragon hairs about three feet long, lovely yellow and red in colour.
