宋沮渠蒙遜。時有沙門曇摩讖者。博達多識。為蒙遜之所信重。魏氏遣李順拜蒙遜為涼王。仍求曇摩讖。蒙遜悋而不與。摩讖意欲入魏。屢從蒙遜請行蒙遜。怒殺之。既而左右常白日見。摩讖以劍繫蒙遜。因疾而死（右一驗出宣魂志）。

Juqu Mengxun of the Song: At that time there was a monk named Dharmakṣema, who was broadly learned and deeply knowledgeable, and was trusted and revered by Mengxun. The Wei sent Li Shun to confer upon Mengxun the title of King of Liang, and also requested Dharmakṣema. Mengxun begrudged him and would not give him up. Dharmakṣema wished in his heart to enter the Wei, and repeatedly asked Mengxun for permission to depart. Mengxun was enraged and killed him. Soon afterward, Mengxun's attendants frequently saw in broad daylight Dharmakṣema striking Mengxun with a sword. Due to this he fell ill and died. (The one evidential account above is taken from the *Xuanhun zhi*.)
