Passing through the first gate of Tamaudun, there is an epitaph inscribed when the tombs were first constructed in the left corner. On it were inscribed a list of those royal family members that should be buried in the royal mausoleum with the names of six people on it.

The first is the name Shuri-giyaka-moigana-shima-akatodaru (Sho Shin), reigning king at the time. Below are listed relations of King Sho Shin; his mother Ogiyaka, his younger sister Otochito-no-moikane, his daughter Manabedaru, his fifth son Sho Sei, third son Sho Shoui, fourth son Sho Ryutoku, sixth son Sho Kyou, and seventh son Sho Gendou. The epitaph continues by stating that should these directions not be followed (burial in the tombs of these nine persons), the wrath of heaven would be incurred.
