Other inscription
Yishan Yining (1247–1317), 5 columns in semi-cursive script, undated; 2 seals:
Traversing the [Yangzi] River and its Han tributary he came,
Who professed ignorance to the Emperor.
Upon his failure he left without hesitation,
Pressing on, his feet treading the water.
Written by Monk Yishan Yining with respect.[1]
逾河越漢來，對御道不識。
事負即抽身，腳下浮逼逼。
一山比丘一寧拜手。 [印]： 一寧、一山
