顛毛衰白。眸子寒青。閑口能吞佛。虛空解講經。
古鑑出匣。太阿發硎。放得無依用得靈。

The hair on the crown is fading and white; the pupils are cold and green.
An idle mouth can swallow buddhas; empty space understands expounding sūtras.
The ancient mirror emerges from its case; the Tai'e sword leaves the whetstone.
Left without reliance, it is used with numinous power.
