晉沙門于法蘭。高陽人也。十五而出家。器識沈秀業操貞整。寺于深巖甞夜坐禪。虎入其室因蹲床前。蘭以手摩其頭。虎揚耳而伏。數日乃去。竺護燉煌人也。風神情宇。亦蘭之次。于時經典新譯梵語數多。辭句繁蕪章偈不整。乃領其旨要刊其游文。亦養徒山中。山有清㵎汲漱所資。有採薪者。甞穢其水。水即竭涸。俄而絕流。護臨㵎[褒-保+(非/(乏-之))]回歎曰。水若遂竭吾將何資。言終而清流洋溢。尋復盈㵎。並武惠時人也。支道林為之像讚曰。于氏超世。綜體玄旨。嘉遁山澤。仁感虎兕。護公澄寂。道德淵美。微吟空㵎。枯泉還水（右四人出冥祥記）。

The Jin śramaṇa Yu Falan was a man of Gaoyang. He went forth from home at the age of fifteen; his capacity and understanding were profound and outstanding, and his conduct pure and upright. He lived in a temple in the deep crags, and once while sitting in night meditation, a tiger entered his room and crouched before his platform. Lan stroked its head with his hand; the tiger raised its ears and prostrated itself, departing only after several days. Zhu Fahu was a man of Dunhuang, whose demeanor and inner spirit were second only to Lan’s. At that time, newly translated scriptures were numerous in Indic terms, their language verbose and unruly, their chapters and verses irregular; so he grasped their essential purport and trimmed their redundant prose. He also nurtured disciples in the mountains. In the mountains there was a clear ravine upon which they relied for drawing water and rinsing. A woodcutter once defiled the water, and the water immediately dried up, quickly ceasing to flow. Hu stood by the ravine, pacing back and forth with a sigh: “If the water completely dries up, what will we rely upon?” As he finished speaking, the clear stream welled forth, overflowing and soon filling the ravine again. They were contemporaries of the Wu and Hui reigns. Zhi Daolin composed a portrait encomium for them: “Master Yu transcended the mundane world, grasping the profound purport; / In fine seclusion in the mountains and marshes, his benevolence moved tigers and rhinoceroses. / Master Hu was serene and tranquil, his virtue deep and beautiful; / Murmuring faintly by the empty ravine, the dried spring returned with water.” (The above four persons are from the *Mingxiang ji*.)
