○韓擒虎弟僧壽洪 ○ Han Qinhu; his brothers Sengshou and Hong.

僧壽字玄慶，擒虎母弟也，亦以勇烈知名。 Sengshou, whose courtesy name was Xuanqing, was Qinhu's younger uterine brother and was likewise renowned for martial valor.

高祖得政，從韋孝寬平尉迥，每戰有功，授大將軍，封昌樂公，邑千戶。 When Yang Jian took control of the government, Sengshou followed Wei Xiaokuan against Yu Chi and distinguished himself in every engagement. He was made Grand General and enfeoffed as Duke of Changle with a fief of one thousand households.

時擒虎為廬州總管，朝廷不欲同在淮南，轉為熊州刺史。 Qinhu was then Area Commander of Luzhou, and the court did not want both brothers in Huainan at once, so Sengshou was moved to Inspector of Xiongzhou.

有京兆人達奚通妾王氏，能清歌，朝臣多相會觀之，僧壽亦豫焉，坐是除名。 A concubine of Daxi Tong of Jingzhao named Wang was famed for her refined singing. Many ministers gathered to hear her, and Sengshou joined them; for that he was dismissed from office.

廣陵、甘棠，鹹有武藝，驍雄膽略，並為當時所推，赳赳干城，難兄難弟矣。 The dukes of Guangling and Gantang were both skilled in arms; in boldness and resource they were admired alike—fierce bulwarks of the state, brothers each the equal of the other.
