涼州南百里崖中泥塑行像者。昔沮渠蒙遜王有涼土專弘福事。於此崖中大造形像。千變萬化驚人眩目。有土聖僧。可如人等。常自經行。無時暫捨。遙見便行。人至便止。觀其面貌。如行之狀。有羅土於地者。後看足跡納納。今見如此。

Regarding the clay walking image in the cliff one hundred li south of Liangzhou: formerly, King Juqu Mengxun ruled the Liang territory and dedicated himself exclusively to promoting merit. In this cliff, he created forms and images on a vast scale, with thousands of variations and transformations that astonished and dazzled the eye. There is an earthen holy monk, about the height of a person, who constantly engages in walking meditation by himself without ever pausing. When seen from afar, he walks; when someone approaches, he stops. If one looks at his facial features, they have the appearance of walking. Some spread fine earth on the ground, and afterward they saw deeply impressed footprints. It appears like this even now.
