12.108

汝求吾之讚,復讚吾之真,大海絕涓滴,須彌無一塵,以訐為直而非直,以察為明而非明。
象王回旋,師子嚬呻,性不可會,瞥喜瞥瞋。與佛祖為冤敵,與魔外為親姻,自是其是而人不汝是,自神其神而人不汝神。如此為人善知識,少喫酸醋三五升。

You request my eulogy and in turn praise my true form: / In the great sea not a single drop is left, / On Mount Sumeru not a speck of dust remains. / Taking contention as rectitude is not rectitude; / Taking scrutiny as discernment is not discernment. / The elephant king turns around, the lion roars and stretches; / His nature cannot be grasped: a flash of joy, a flash of wrath. / An enemy to buddhas and patriarchs, / A kinsman to demons and non-Buddhists; / Believing yourself right while others do not agree, / Thinking yourself divine while others do not deem you divine. / Acting as a good spiritual friend in this way, / You should drink three to five pints less of sour vinegar!
