Translation
“So long as, in this world, the mountains continue to stand and the oceans remain in their place, so long will your and your son’s imperishable fame spread over the earth. And, O great sage, by my grace you will always behold in this world a shadow-like presence resembling your son—seen everywhere, never slipping from your sight.”
