2.27
The biased within the correct (nodding the head in the dark):
In the third watch, at the beginning of the night, before the moon is bright, (Distinguish it when black and white have not yet crossed. 'Before sprouts have emerged.' 'Just now, what time is it?' 'Herein there is no sun or moon; do not speak of going before or after.')
Do not wonder at meeting without recognizing each other. (Forgetting. 'Approaching.' Also: 'In what kalpa did you turn away and come? If so, then both fold their hands and depart.')
Concealed, there still lingers an old resentment. (These two lines have one meaning; in the end they do not resemble each other. Also said: 'Complete.' Also: 'What is valued today?' Also: 'If so, then one cannot deceive oneself.')
