SignedSignature: For Ruoxu shangren (Ruoxu, great master), pray for your laughter as you correct me. 若虚上人，并祈笑正。王曰俞。 Seal：中恬（白文方印）；曰俞（白文方印）。
InscribedYou, master, came to a clear, cold paradise; indulging in secluded pleasure, you deserve to be proud of yourself; In the mountains’ depth, you made clouds a temple, residing as an old monk among snow; Winding rattan hangs down for thousands of years, plums blossom when the second month comes; Writing remarks as they are recalled as I run into a mountain man, chanting scriptures as three chariots pass. 君入清凉境，幽閒自可誇，山深雲作寺，僧老雪為家；藤挂 千年樹，梅開二月花；記言逢谷叟，半偈语三車。
