父死河北，母更兵亂，不知所之，羔憂號終日。 His father died in Hebei; amid renewed warfare his mother vanished without trace, and Gao mourned and cried out the whole day long.

而不知父墓區處，晝夜哀慟； But he still did not know where his father's grave lay, and he wept in grief through day and night;

它日舍佛祠，觀柱間有文字，乃其父臨死記墓所在。 One day he took shelter in a temple and noticed characters inscribed on a pillar—his father's last account of the burial site.
