Inscription:  

天上銀河江中逝，空山夜鶯話古今;

今日聽此清涼曲，人間如意夢幻時。

                                                             壬戌秋初   堯

Milky Way of the sky elapses in the river, Lady Nightingale summarizes throughout the ages in the ethereal mountains;

Today hearing her refreshing tune, everything one wishes on earth is but an illusory dream.
