如淨和尚語錄 1.103

1.103

謝掩室和尚。上堂。掩室摩竭國。老胡豁開頂門。杜口毘耶城。淨名敗缺話柄。提上古兩端公案。發今朝一段威光。所以賓主歷然。江湖有在。還知麼。不是詩人不獻詩。春風吹作鷓鴣詞。

Ascending the hall to thank the Reverend of Yanshi, [the Master said]: "Shutting the room in Magadha, the Old Barbarian threw open his crown; / Stopping the mouth in Vaiśālī, Pure Name flawed his pretext for speech. / Bringing up these two ancient gong'ans, revealing a stretch of majestic radiance today. / Therefore, host and guest are distinct, rivers and lakes have their place. / Do you still understand? / It is not that the poet does not present a poem: / The spring wind blows it into the partridge lyrics."
