道存一致。故異代同輝。德合理妙。故殊方齊致。釋公振玄風於關右。法師嗣沫流于江左。聞風而悅四海同歸。爾乃懷仁山林隱居求志。於是眾僧雲集勤修淨行。同法飡風栖遲道門。可謂五百之季仰劭舍衛之風。廬山之㟪俯傳靈鷲之音。洋洋乎未曾聞也。予志學之年希門人之末。惜哉誠願弗遂。永違此世。春秋八十有四。義熙十三年秋八月六日薨。年踰縱心。功遂身亡。有始斯終千載垂光。嗚呼哀哉。乃為誄曰。

How regrettable that my sincere wish was not fulfilled, and he has parted forever from this world! His years were eighty and four. On the sixth day of the eighth month, in the autumn of the thirteenth year of Yixi, he passed away. His age had exceeded that of following one's heart's desires; his merit achieved, his body perished. Having a beginning, there is this end, shedding light for a thousand years. Alas, how sorrowful! Thus I make this eulogy:
