Inscription:

Li Yuan was travelling to Mount [E] Mei with Master Yuanze. When their boat was passing through the Nanpu they saw a woman in embroidered brocade trousers carrying jars to fetch water. Ze wept, saying: “I am the unborn child in this woman, there is no avoiding it. Eighteen years from now, on the fifteenth of August you will meet a boy at Mount Tianzhu [temple] in Hangzhou.” When he finished speaking he died.

On the allotted date [Li] Yuan went to Mount Tianzhu, and met with a herd-boy, who said: “Li Yuan is a true believer!” Yuan replied: “It's the spitting image of Yuanze!” The herd boy then sang: “An old soul [sits] atop Three Lives Rocks etc etc...”, When the song came to an end, he rolled up his sleeves and left.

李源與圓澤法師游眉山，舟次南浦，見一女子錦襠花褲負罌而汲。澤泣 曰：『 當託孕 於此女 ，避 之不可得。 後十八年八月十五日當會君于 杭州 天竺山中。』言畢而卒。

源如期往天竺山見一牧牛 兒， 云： “李源真信人也” 。源即應 聲 云： “圓澤正恙！” 牧兒遂歌曰： 『 三 生 石上舊精魂，云云』。歌罷拂袖而去。
