《梁书·列传·卷五十四》
金像底座原先有外国文字，没有人认识这文字，后来有三藏法师邮求跋摩认识底座上的字，他辨认说，文字写的是阿育王为自己的第四个女儿铸造。
像趺先有外国书，莫有识者，后有三藏冉阝求跋摩识之，云是阿育王为第四女所造也。
There was originally foreign script on the base of the golden statue and no one could decipher it. Later, the monk Yijiu, Master of the Tripitaka, asked Fotuo Woqiu to decipher the words on the base, and Fotuo said that they were written by King Ashoka for his fourth daughter.
