He cited: "Because a monk asked, 'On the flat field where grass is shallow and elk and deer form herds, how can one shoot the elk among elks?', Yaoshan said: 'Watch the arrow!' The monk threw his body down. Yaoshan said: 'Attendant, drag him out!' The monk then ran away. Yaoshan said: 'This mud-ball-playing fellow—what limit is there to him?'"
