虛堂和尚語錄 10.120

10.120

七赤之軀，額有圓珠，問著便掌，膽大心麁，不是大中天子，幾乎喚馬作驢，大家水底按葫蘆。

A body of seven feet, on his forehead a rounded pearl; / As soon as questioned, he delivers a slap—his courage is great and mind unrefined. / Were he not the Son of Heaven of the Dazhong era, he would almost have called a horse a donkey; / Together, they push down a gourd beneath the water.
