2.211

或云：「是爾諸人繞天下行脚，不知有祖師意，露柱却知有祖師意，爾作麼生明得露柱知有祖師意？」代云：「九九八十一。」

Or he said, "All of you go on pilgrimage all over the world, not knowing that the Patriarch's intention exists; yet the exposed pillars know that the Patriarch's intention exists. How do you understand that the exposed pillars know that the Patriarch's intention exists?" Answering on their behalf, he said, "Nine times nine is eighty-one."
