周孝明皇帝（諱毓）君臨萬國。平章百姓。內親九族。外穆四門。封介丘之瓊珍。觀塗山之玉帛。乃至本枝維翰列辟庶官。五向十行。俱識歸依之道。外觀內覺。同登解脫之門。世界有邊弘誓無盡。二年奉為先皇敬造盧舍那織成像一軀。并二菩薩。高二丈六尺。等身檀像一十二軀。各二菩薩及金剛師子等。麗極天成妙同神製。

Emperor Xiaoming of Zhou (personal name Yu) ruled over the ten thousand states, regulating and clarifying the hundred clans. Internally, he treated the nine branches of kin with affection; externally, he brought harmony to the four gates. He offered precious gems at Mount Tai and observed the tributes of jade and silks at Mount Tu. Down to the branch kin, pillars of state, feudal lords, and various officials, by means of the five dedications and ten practices, they all understood the way of taking refuge. Cultivating outer contemplation and inner awakening, they jointly ascended the gates of liberation. Worlds have an end, but vast vows are inexhaustible. In the second year, on behalf of the late Emperor, he reverently had a woven image of Vairocana made, along with two bodhisattvas, twenty-six feet in height; also twelve life-sized sandalwood images, each with two bodhisattvas as well as vajradharas, lions, and the like, reaching the peak of heavenly perfection and matching divine craft in beauty.
