Emperor Wen was deeply pleased. Moreover, at the site of his corpse, an object was seen resembling a dragon or snake, about one zhang in length, rising straight into the heavens. The monastic assembly wept in loving remembrance. In accordance with the foreign custom, they cremated him with fragrant firewood and erected a stūpa.
