### [5.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.5.40)

【四九】舉。三聖問雪峯。透網金鱗未審以何為食（不妨縱橫自在。此問太高生。爾合只自知。何必更問）峯云。待汝出網來。向汝道（減人多少聲價。作家宗師天然自在）聖云。一千五百人善知識。話頭也不識（迅雷霹靂可殺驚群。一任𨁝跳）峯云。老僧住持事繁（不在勝負。放過一著。此語最毒）。

> \[49\] Case: Sansheng asked Xuefeng, "I wonder, what does the golden fish that has penetrated the net take for food?" (Indisputably free and unhindered in all directions. This question is born too high. You should only know it yourself; why bother asking further?)  
> Feng said, "Wait until you emerge from the net, then I will tell you." (How much prestige does this reduce from someone? An adept lineage master is naturally at ease.)  
> Sheng said, "A kalyāṇamitra of fifteen hundred people, yet you do not even recognize a turning phrase!" (A swift clap of thunder and lightning, enough to startle the herd. Let him jump and leap as he pleases.)  
> Feng said, "This old monk's administrative duties as abbot are manifold." (It is not a matter of victory and defeat. Letting go of a move. These words are the most poisonous.)  
> — English (machine translation) (machine translation)
