### [10.236](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.10.236)

「雲門舉起竹篦，開口知君話墮，上方香積不餐，甘伏食人涕唾（一）。雲門舉起竹篦，禪和切忌針錐，鸞鳳不棲荊棘，𮭗𮭗偏守空池（二）。雲門舉起竹篦，通身帶水拕泥，奉報參玄上士，  
撒手懸崖勿遲（三）。雲門舉起竹篦，擬議知君亂統，直饒救得眼睛，當下失却鼻孔（四）。雲門舉起竹篦，露出心肝五臟，可憐猗死禪和，猶自魂飛膽喪（五）。」

> "Yunmen holds up the bamboo comb; / Opening your mouth, one knows your words fall. / Not eating the incense-heaped food from above, / Willingly submitting to eating people's spittle (first). / Yunmen holds up the bamboo comb; / Patch-robed monks, beware of needle and awl! / The phoenix does not roost in thorns and briars; / The snipe insists on guarding an empty pond (second). / Yunmen holds up the bamboo comb; / The entire body dragged through water and mud. / I respectfully inform the superior seekers of the mystery: / Let go your hands on the sheer cliff without delay (third). / Yunmen holds up the bamboo comb; / Deliberating, one knows you are confused and disordered. / Even if you manage to save your eyes, / On the spot you lose your nostrils (fourth). / Yunmen holds up the bamboo comb, / Exposing the heart, liver, and five viscera. / Pitiful is the corpse-like patch-robed monk, / Still with his soul flying and his gall drained (fifth)."
