王劭前后多次上表书，陈述文帝受命即位所出现的种种吉祥的征兆，又采集民间歌谣，征引预卜吉凶的谶纬图书，摘录佛经中的记载，采取改换文字、歪曲附会等手法，撰成《皇隋灵感志》三十卷上奏文帝，文帝下令将此书宣示天下。
劭前后上表言上受命符瑞甚众，又采民间歌谣，引图书谶纬，捃摭佛经，回易文字，曲加诬饰，撰《皇隋灵感志》三十卷奏之，上令宣示天下。
Wang Shao repeatedly petitioned the emperor, stating all kinds of auspicious signs that appeared when Emperor Wen ascended to the throne. He also collected folk songs, referenced books on foretelling, quoted scriptures from the Buddhist canon, and used such methods as changing the text and distorting the truth to compile the Records of Divine Inspiration of Emperor Sui, Volume 30, and presented it to Emperor Wen. Emperor Wen ordered that this book be promulgated throughout the empire.
