      *Entering the mountains he was much too thin and withered./*

      *The snow is overlaid with frost—it is cold./*

      *Casting an indifferent glance, he saw a [morning] star./*

      *Why should he once again emerge among the world of men?*

      *The second day, eighth month, of the year of jiachen during the reign of Chunyou [1244]. At Taibai Mingshan. Eulogized by Daochong*
