12.108
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!
