Yangshan came forward, folded his hands, and stood. Guishan said: 'I truly knew you could not answer these words.' Xiangyan arrived, and Guishan brought up the previous words. Xiangyan said: 'I alone can answer these words.' Guishan brought them up again; Xiangyan also came forward, folded his hands, and stood. Guishan said: 'Fortunately, Jizi did not understand.'" The master said: "Had Guishan not had that later remark, he could have wrapped it up completely; but alas, his function was excessive, causing both peg and rope to be exposed." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.80](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.2.80) - [Next: 2.82](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.2.82) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000~en-mt.2.81) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.2.81](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2000.2.81) · Pramāṇa
