大宋僧史略 1.14

1.14

周書異記曰。昭王二十四年甲寅歲四月八日。江河泉池忽然汎溢。井皆騰涌。宮殿震動。其夜五色光氣貫于太微。遍于西方。作青虹色。時王問太史蘇由。由對曰。有大聖出于西方。故現此瑞。王曰。於國無損乎。對曰。一千年後。聲教當被于此。

The Zhoushu yiji says: On the eighth day of the fourth month, the Jiayin year, the twenty-fourth year of King Zhao, the rivers, springs, and pools suddenly overflowed, wells gushed up, and palaces shook. That night, five-colored light and vapors pierced the Taiwei constellation and spread across the western quarter, turning the color of a green-blue rainbow. At that time the king asked Grand Astrologer Su You. You replied: 'A great sage has emerged in the western quarter, hence this auspicious omen has appeared.' The king asked: 'Will there be any harm to the state?' He replied: 'After one thousand years, his voice and teachings will reach here.'
