20.67

（十八）　帝甞於選德殿製觀音讚。賜上竺刻於石。有詞曰。猗歟大士。本自圓通。示有言說。為世之宗。明照無二。等觀以慈。隨感即應。妙不可思。

[18] The Emperor once composed an "Eulogy on Avalokiteśvara" in the Xuande Hall and bestowed it on Shangzhu Monastery to be carved on stone. Its text read: "Ah, Great Being! / Fundamentally perfect and penetrating. / Manifesting with spoken words, / A master for the world. / Clear illumination without duality; / Beholding all equally with compassion. / Responding immediately upon being invoked, / Wondrous beyond conception."
