Two shouts and three shouts— / (The sound of thunder is vast; of rain drops there are none at all. From antiquity to the present, rarely has anyone been like this.) / An adept knows dynamic change. / (If not an adept, how could he test him? I only fear it is not like that.) / If one speaks of riding the tiger's head, / (Ha! Blind fellow! How can a tiger's head be ridden? How many people understand it like this? There are indeed people who hold this view!) / Both become blind fellows. / (Personal words coming out of one's own mouth! Why stop at two? Take them away yourself!) / Who is the blind fellow? / (Whom would you have discern it? Fortunately there is the final phrase; it nearly fooled people to death!) / Picking it up, he presents it for everyone in the world to see. / (Seeing is not non-existent; if you gaze at it, you go blind. Ācārya, if you fix your eyes to look, both hands grab empty space. To cite it like this—tell me, which dynamic is it?)
