2.317

「彌遮迦從中印土來,至北天竺,見一人手執酒器問:『師從何方來,復往何許?』迦曰:『我自心來,欲往無處。』又問:『師識我手中物否?』師曰:『此是觸器,而負淨者。』又問:『師識我否?』師曰:『我即不識,識即非我,我雖識汝,不知姓字,汝暫稱名,我即悟矣。』」代云:「師既識我,何待稱名?」

"Miccaka came from Central India to Northern India. Seeing a man holding a wine vessel in his hand, he asked: 'From where did the master come, and where are you going?' Miccaka said: 'I come from my own mind, and I wish to go to no place.' [The man] asked again: 'Does the master recognize what is in my hand?' The master said: 'This is an unclean vessel, yet it holds what is pure.' [The man] asked again: 'Does the master recognize me?' The master said: 'I am not cognition, and cognition is not me; although I recognize you, I do not know your family name and given name. If you briefly state your name, I will immediately understand.'" Replacing [the original words], he said: "Since the master already recognizes me, why wait for me to state my name?"
