12.154

咄哉滅胡種,面目真可惡,過橋便拆橋,得路便塞路。雖欲彊柔和,畢竟觸人怒,萬事類如此,誰敢相親附。乞兒囊本空,常誇敵國富,聞說閻羅王,未免生怕怖,休更放大言,嫌佛不肯做。

Bah! Exterminator of the barbarian seed, / His face is truly detestable! / Crossing a bridge, he immediately breaks the bridge; / Gaining a road, he immediately blocks the road. / Though wishing to force himself to be gentle, / In the end he stirs up people's anger. / All matters are like this; / Who dares come close to him? / A beggar's pouch is originally empty, / Yet he always boasts of wealth matching a rival state. / Hearing tell of King Yama, / He inevitably feels fear. / Stop uttering great boasts, / Disliking buddhahood and refusing to do it.
