在嶽之西南七十里。隸衡陽岣嶁峯下。晉咸和年建。號雲龍寺。隋大業末。高僧大明居之。至唐末。遷移山下。馬氏更名金輪寺。或云。即馬氏之莊也。本朝太平興國中。改賜今額。環寺杉松數萬。每至風激。林響聲若海濤。寺有記石。唐岑文本撰。及韓愈有岣嶁山詩碑在焉。傳云。禹碑在此峯尖之上。樞密折公留題云。路轉崎嶇嶺。水藏委曲田。茂林深似海。古剎湛如淵。岣嶁未可到。禹碑真謾傳。西林歸恐暮。欲去又茫然。寺有普容泉．道人亭。

It is seventy li southwest of the peak, subordinated under Goulou Peak of Hengyang. Built in the Xianhe era of the Jin, it was named Yunlong Monastery. At the end of the Daye era of the Sui, the eminent monk Daming resided here. By the end of the Tang, it was moved below the mountain, and the Ma clan renamed it Jinlun Monastery; or some say it was an estate of the Ma clan. During the Taiping Xingguo era of our dynasty, the present plaque was bestowed by imperial favor. Encircling the monastery are tens of thousands of cedars and pines; whenever whipped by the wind, the forest resounds like ocean waves. The monastery has an inscribed stone written by Cen Wenben of the Tang, and Han Yu's poem stele on Mount Goulou is there. Tradition says that Yu's stele is atop the tip of this peak. Bureau Manager Zhe left an inscribed verse: "The road winds around the craggy ridge; / Water conceals winding fields. / The lush forest is deep as an ocean; / The ancient temple is serene as an abyss. / Goulou cannot yet be reached; / The Yu stele is truly an empty rumor. / Fearing it will be late when returning to Xilin, / Wanting to leave, I am again at a loss." The monastery has the Purong Spring and the Daoist Pavilion.
