The long poem may be translated as:
'Imperial poem
Nine years in meditation could be an eternity;
Mortals only speak of the importance of a persistent mind;
If only they understood that scriptures are there merely to shade the sun;
They would not be studying them with such effort, like trying to pierce through oxhide'.
