荊門勝地。楚塞神鄉。艫舳之所混并。水陸之所衝要。唯仁是寄。雖親弗居。布政宣條咸稱繄賴。清風遠沐盛績有聞。人唱來晚之歌。咸陳去思之詠。啟茲福地。置此仁祠。月殿流輝。珠臺曜彩。華開粉壁。荷發圓池。至於鄭氏維摩孫公安養。皆為絕世妙盡丹青。

Jingmen is an eminent realm; Chu's border is a divine territory. It is where sterns and prows converge, a thoroughfare of water and land. It was entrusted only to the benevolent; though related [to the throne], he did not claim it for self-interest. Publishing governance and proclaiming statutes, all declared their reliance upon him. Bathed from afar in his pure breeze, his glorious achievements were widely heard. The people sang verses of his coming too late and all presented odes of their longing after his departure. He opened this land of blessings and established this sanctuary of benevolence. The moon pavilion casts its glow, and the pearl terrace radiates brilliance; blossoms open on the whitened walls, and lotuses bloom in the circular pool. As for the portraits of Vimalakīrti by Lady Zheng and of Sukhavatī by Lord Sun, both are peerless marvels that exhaust the art of painting.
