四、陳高郵某庵尼華手傳
Fourth: Biography of Nun Huashou of a Certain Nunnery in Gaoyou
華手，梁普通二年，居高郵某庵，志節冰霜。誦妙法蓮華經，不捨晝夜，適通第一。右手爪上即生一華，形如菱菜，如是誦五卷，五指爪上生於五華。次誦第六、第七，掌內又生二華，形大於前，州境內因呼為華手尼。尼亦無甚苦節，陳武帝召見看之，大為嘉敬，後不知所終。
Hua Shou, in the second year of the Liang dynasty's Putong era, resided in a nunnery in Gaoyou, her resolve pure as ice and frost. Day and night, she ceaselessly recited the Wonderful Dharma Lotus Sutra, mastering the first volume with ease. On the fingernail of her right hand, a flower bloomed, shaped like a water chestnut. As she recited the next four volumes, flowers appeared on the nails of all five fingers. When she proceeded to recite the sixth and seventh volumes, two more flowers emerged in the palm of her hand, larger than the previous ones. Thus, throughout the region, she became known as the Nun with Flowers on Her Hands. Her practice was not marked by extreme austerity, yet Emperor Wu of the Chen dynasty summoned her to witness this marvel, expressing great admiration. Her later fate remains unknown.
