Book of Chen, Chapter 29Volume 29: Zong Yuanrao; Sima Shen; Mao Xi; Cai Zheng · 1 passage

及叔陵之肆逆也，事既不捷，出據東府，申馳召右衛蕭摩訶帥兵先至，追斬之，因入城中，收其府庫，後主深嘉之。 When Shuling's violent outrage took place, the affair did not succeed and he went out to hold the eastern palace; Shen galloped to summon right guard Xiao Mohe to lead troops and arrive first, pursued and beheaded him, then entered the city and seized his treasury stores—Houzhu deeply commended him.

Book of Chen, Chapter 36Volume 36: Chen Shuling, Prince of Shixing; Chen Bogu, Prince of Xin'an · 4 passages

叔陵聚兵僅千人，初欲據城保守，俄而右衛將軍蕭摩訶將兵至府西門，叔陵事急惶恐，乃遣記室韋諒送其鼓吹與摩訶，仍謂之曰：「如其事捷，必以公為台鼎。」 Shuling mustered barely a thousand men and at first meant to occupy the city and defend it, but Right Guard General Xiao Mohe soon brought troops to the mansion's western gate. With matters urgent and panic setting in, Shuling sent staff recorder Wei Liang to deliver his pipes and drums to Mohe and promised, "If we win, you will sit among the highest ministers."

摩訶紿報之，曰「須王心膂節將自來，方敢從命」。 Mohe lied in answer: "I must wait until Your Highness's own trusted commanders come before I dare obey."

叔陵即遣戴溫、譚騏驎二人詣摩訶所，摩訶執以送臺，斬於閣道下。 Shuling sent Dai Wen and Tan Qilin to Mohe's camp; Mohe seized them, sent them to the tribunal, and they were beheaded under the gallery.

叔陵部下，多棄甲潰散，摩訶馬 Shuling's men mostly threw off armor and fled; Mohe on horseback

Book of Sui, Chapter 52Volume 52 Biographies 17: Han Qinhu, He Ruobi · 4 passages

陳將甄慶、任蠻奴、蕭摩訶等共為聲援，頻寇江北，前後入界。 The Chen generals Zhen Qing, Ren Man'nu, Xiao Mohe, and others backed one another and raided the north bank of the Yangzi repeatedly, crossing the frontier time after time.

進屯蔣山之白土岡，陳將魯達、周智安、任蠻奴、田瑞、樊毅、孔范、蕭摩訶等以勁兵拒戰。 He advanced to Baitu Hill on Mount Jiang, where Chen's generals Lu Da, Zhou Zhi'an, Ren Man'nu, Tian Rui, Fan Yi, Kong Fan, Xiao Mohe, and others barred his path with elite troops.

麾下開府員明擒摩訶至，弼命左右牽斬之。 His officer Yuan Ming, holder of the title Opening the Mansion, brought Xiao Mohe as a captive. Bi ordered his guards to drag him out for execution.

摩訶顏色自若，弼釋而禮之。 Mohe's face never changed. Bi released him and received him with full courtesy.
