### [1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1987b.1.7)

虛玄無著，妙轉靈機，金鴉夜翥，木馬風嘶，四禁三墮，掌上然犀，重離五相，鼻尖斵泥，青原白家酒，醉人失束西，眉目不相識，阿師猶自迷，蟲毒鄉曾經歷，滴水也難沾兮，者箇描來那箇聻，流布雲仍辨端倪。

> Empty and mysterious, without attachment, wonderfully turning the spiritual pivot; / A golden crow flies by night; a wooden horse neighs in the wind. / The four prohibitions and three falls: lighting a rhinoceros horn in the palm; / The double Li trigram and five marks: hewing the mud on the tip of the nose. / Wine of the Bai family on Qingyuan makes people drunk so they lose east and west; / Eyebrows and eyes do not recognise each other; the ācārya is still bewildered himself. / Having once experienced the region of insect poison, not even a drop of water can be touched! / This one is depicted—what about that one? / Circulate it to future generations so they can discern the clues.
