格所生母，當浚之遇害，潛匿於民間，落發為尼，流浪於函、洛。 When Jun was killed, Ge's mother went into hiding among the people, took the tonsure, and wandered between the Hangu Pass and Luoyang.

王建聞之，潛使人迎之入蜀，賜紫，加號慈福大師。 Wang Jian heard of it and secretly had her brought to Shu, granted her the purple robe, and gave her the title Great Master Cifu.
