臣綱啟。殿師吳苗奉宣勅旨。垂賚欝泥細納袈裟一緣。分同妙葉界寫長塍。拂石慚華裁金非重。是日新染厥惟田服。方使幽貞芳杜恥緝芙蓉。仙客排雲羞裳飛羽。穢食凡軀無明闇識。叨恩每重荷澤難勝。不任銘戴之至。謹奉啟事謝。謹啟。

Your subject Gang presents: The palace master Wu Miao has proclaimed the imperial decree, bestowing a fine patchwork kaṣāya of yuni colour. Its sections are like wondrous leaves; its boundaries depict long field-ridges. Stroking the stone, it shames blossoms; cutting the gold, it is not heavy. On this day newly dyed, it is indeed the field-robe! It straightway makes the fragrant herbs of secluded chastity ashamed to stitch lotus blossoms, and immortals parting the clouds embarrassed by skirts of flying feathers. With a foully nourished ordinary body and dark consciousness of ignorance, I repeatedly receive weighty grace and can hardly bear such moisture. Unable to contain my utmost gratitude, I respectfully present this memorial of thanks. Respectfully presented.
