梁太清末，世祖嘗避地臨安，牙母陵，[4]睹世祖儀表，知非常人，賓待甚厚。 At the end of Liang's Taiqing era Emperor Wen once sheltered at Lin'an. Ya's mother Ling [4] saw his bearing, knew he was no common man, and received him with deep courtesy.

初，牙母之卒也，于時飢饉兵荒，至是始葬，詔贈牙母常安國太夫人，諡曰恭。 When his mother had died, famine and war made burial impossible. Only now was she laid to rest. An edict posthumously honored her as Grand Madam of Chang'an state, with the posthumous name Gong.

牙母智深先覺，符柏谷之禮，君子知鑒識弘遠，其在茲乎！ Ya's mother, wise before the fact, matched the courtesy of Bo Valley. A gentleman will say that vision reaching far lived here.
