"The gong'an completed, he came to ask Zhaozhou; (The words are still in our ears. There is no need to execute [it] again. Hanging a medicine bag behind the hearse.) / In the city of Chang'an he strolled about freely at ease. (So joyful! So unrestricted! Picking up grass with hands unrestricted. I cannot but let you go on like this.) / With straw sandals placed atop his head, no one understood; (Still there are one or two. That is of another family tradition. Matching on the bright side, matching on the dark side.) / Returning to his native mountain, he immediately desisted." (Thirty blows of the staff right under his heels! And tell me, where is the fault? Only because you raised waves where there was no wind. If both lay it down, I only fear it is not so; but being so is also exceedingly marvelous!) / 𡎺 (Ce-liu fan: to obstruct, block.) 磕 (Ke-he fan: sound of stones; homophonous with 榼 [ke]).
