郡縣以狀言，高祖詔遣中書舍人爲其除服，擢爲豫章王國左常侍。 Commandery and county reported; Gaozu sent a Secretariat Attendant to release mourning and make him Left Regular Attendant in Prince of Yuzhang's kingdom.

高祖異之，敕廷尉卿蔡法度曰：「吉翂請死贖父，義誠可嘉； Gaozu was moved and ordered Minister of Justice Cai Fadu: "Ji Bin asks to die for his father—his loyalty is admirable;

法度具以奏聞，高祖乃宥其父。 Fadu memorialized all of it; Gaozu then spared his father.

會有詔，士姓各舉四科，曇淨叔父慧斐舉以應孝行，高祖用爲海寧令。 When an edict bade each clan recommend four kinds of men, his uncle Huifei nominated him for filial conduct and Gaozu appointed him Haining magistrate.

族兄都官尚書詠表言其狀，應純孝之舉，高祖召見嘉之，以補歙令。 His kinsman Yu Yong, Minister President of Justice, reported him for pure filial piety; Gaozu received him, praised him, and made him magistrate of She.
