The inscription contains an imperial poem composed by Qianlong, which is recorded in Qing Gao Zong (Qianlong) yu zhi shi wen quan ji, vol. 5, published in Zhongguo Renmin Daxue chu ban she, Beijing, 1993, p. 458. The poem may be translated as:
The stone beams penetrate into the mist and clouds,
obtaining the golden lingzhi, brightening up the Jiu Huang mountain.
How can the elixir of immortality
be compared with the buddha's hand and the smiling flowers?
