[He] brought up: "Nanquan instructed the assembly: 'The Dharma-body possesses the four great elements. If someone can speak of it, I will give him a pair of trousers.' Daowu came forward and said, 'The nature-ground is not empty; empty is not the nature-ground. This is the earth element; the [other] three elements are also like this.' Nanquan did not go back on his previous words and gave him a pair of trousers."
