皇后捨所寢衣帳准價千匹絹。為舍利造金棺銀槨。彫鏤窮奇。以龍朔二年送還本塔。至二月十五日。京師諸僧與塔寺僧及官人等無數千人。共下舍利于石室揜之。俟三十年後非余所知。至後開瑞冀補茲處。

The Empress renounced the clothing and bed curtains she slept in, valued at a thousand bolts of silk, to have a gold coffin and silver outer coffin made for the śarīra, carved and chased to supreme wondrousness. In the second year of the Longshuo era (662), it was returned to its original stupa. On the fifteenth day of the second month, the monks of the capital, together with the monks of the stupa monastery, officials, and others, countless thousands of people, jointly lowered the śarīra into the stone chamber and sealed it. Waiting for thirty years later is beyond what I can know; when it is opened in the future with auspicious signs, I hope this place will be supplemented.
