### [6.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2003.6.13)

野鴨子（成群作隊又有一隻）知何許（用作什麼。如麻似粟）馬祖見來相共語（打葛藤有什麼了期。說箇什麼。獨有馬祖識箇俊底）  
話盡山雲海月情（東家杓柄長。西家杓柄短。知他打葛藤多少）  
依前不會還飛去（㘞。莫道他不會言。飛過什麼處去）  
欲飛去（鼻孔在別人手裏。已是與他下注脚了也）  
却把住（老婆心切。更道什麼）道道（什麼道。不可也教山僧道。不可作野鴨子叫。蒼天蒼天。脚跟下好與三十棒。不知向什麼處去）

> "Wild ducks— (Forming flocks and bands, and yet another one.) / where do they know to go? (What is the use of them? Like hemp, like millet.) / Mazu saw them coming and spoke with him, (Entangling vines—when will they ever end? What are they saying? Only Mazu recognizes an outstanding one.)  
> exhausting completely the sentiments of mountain clouds and ocean moon. (The eastern house's ladle handle is long; the western house's ladle handle is short. Who knows how many entangling vines he has made?)  
> As before, not understanding, they still fly away: (Aha! Do not say he does not understand words. Flown past where?)  
> about to fly away, (The nostrils are in someone else's hands. Already a footnote has been added for him.)  
> he pulls him back: (His grandmotherly heart is earnest. What more does he say?)  
> 'Speak! Speak!'" (What "speak"? You cannot make this mountain monk speak, nor can you make the cry of a wild duck. Blue heaven, blue heaven! Under his heels, give him thirty blows of the staff. I do not know where he went.)
