### [2.168](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.2.168)

夜壑藏舟。澄源著棹。龍魚未知水為命。折筯不妨聊一攪。  
玄沙師。小塘老。函蓋箭鋒。探竿影草。  
潛縮也老龜巢蓮。遊戲也華鱗弄藻。

> Hiding the boat in the nighttime ravine;  
> Setting the oars in the clear source.  
> Dragons and fish do not yet know water is their life;  
> Breaking a chopstick, it does no harm to stir it a bit.  
> Master Xuansha, Elder Xiaotang:  
> Cover fitting the box, arrowheads meeting;  
> The probing pole and the shadow-grass.  
> When retracted and hidden, the old turtle nests in the lotus;  
> When playfully sporting, the shimmering fish frolics in the duckweed.
