自晉失御中原,國分十六,斯諸偽政,信法不虧。唯赫連㪍㪍,據有夏州,兇暴無厭,以殺為樂。背像背上,令僧禮之。後為天震而死。及葬,又震出之。其子昌襲位,破長安,滅佛法,逢僧斬戮。沙門曇始,被刀不傷,因爾改心。尋為北朝後魏所滅。

From the time the Jin lost its control over the Central Plains and the realm was divided into sixteen states, none of these illegitimate regimes fell short in their faith in the Dharma. Only Helian Bobo, who occupied Xia Prefecture, was insatiably cruel and tyrannical, taking killing as pleasure. He carved images on the backs of his arrows and ordered monks to pay homage to them. Later he was struck dead by heaven's thunder. When he was buried, the thunder struck him out of the ground again. His son Helian Chang succeeded to the throne, captured Chang'an, and destroyed the Buddhist Dharma, executing any monks he encountered. The śramaṇa Tanshi was unharmed when struck by blades, and Helian Chang's heart changed as a result. Soon afterwards, he was destroyed by the Northern Dynasty's Later Wei.
