《太平广记·卷一百一十二·报应十》
吉守信正直，一定要按时到达，于是心里推测，而发誓说： 吾救人的苦痛，不考虑我的生命了，希如来大士，普照我的诚心。 
吉既信直，必欲赴期，乃测然发心，自誓曰： 吾救人苦急，不计躯命，冀如来大士，当照乃诚。 
Dongji was honest and upright, and he was determined to arrive on time. So, he prayed silently and made a vow: "I will save this man from his suffering, regardless of my own life. As revered as the Tathagata, please manifest my sincerity with your divine light."
