### [9.153](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2001.9.153)

木石形骸氷雪肝膽。一點妙難名。十方機未感。  
寒林搖落兮。誰捋老虎之鬚。滄海潮乾兮。  
誰探老驪之頷。默默湛存。昭昭元鑒。發用也連乾斷坤。  
緣應也明離暗坎。

> Wood-and-stone bodily frame, ice-and-snow liver and gall; / a single point of subtlety is difficult to name, / while the machinations of the ten directions are not yet sensed. / When the cold forest shakes and sheds its leaves, / who strokes the old tiger's whiskers? / When the tide of the vast ocean dries up, / who probes the chin of the old black dragon? / Silently and clearly abiding, / brightly functioning as the primal mirror. / Putting it into function connects Qian and severs Kun; / responding to conditions brightens Li and darkens Kan.
