Ascending the hall to thank the incoming and outgoing monastic officers of the two ranks: "Opening the Avīci hell, King Yama appears; gathering a band of yakṣas, ox-headed demons line up in two rows. For those who advance: amid raging fires atop the forest of sword-trees they advance into action. For those who retreat: amid freezing ice within the mountain of blades they retreat into hiding. And tell me, what affair do they attend to with such forbearance? Full of food, fiddling with chopsticks to make judgments; pressed by feces, wetting the bed. If not yet so: spring breezes of flowers and willows enter the playhouse."
