兩堂雲水盡紛拏（有理不在高聲）王老師能驗正邪（明鏡當臺物來斯鑑）  
利刀斬斷俱亡像（消得龍王多少風）千古令人愛作家（有一人不肯）  
此道未喪（死猫兒頭堪作何用）知音可嘉（不道無只是少）  
鑿山透海兮唯尊大禹（功不浪施）鍊石補天兮獨賢女媧（闕一不可）  
趙州老有生涯（信手拈來無不是）草鞋頭戴較些些（且信一半）  
異中來也還明鑒（衲子難謾）只箇真金不混沙（是真難滅）

> The clouds and water of both halls were completely embroiled; (When in the right, there is no need to raise the voice.) / Old Teacher Wang could test the upright and the crooked. (When the bright mirror is on the stand, whatever comes is reflected.) / The sharp blade cut through, completely destroying appearances; (How much wind of the Dragon King did it take?) / For a thousand ages he makes people cherish a master craftsman. (There was one person who did not agree.) / This Way has not perished; (What use can be made of the head of a dead cat?) / An intimate knower is praiseworthy. (It is not said there are none, only that they are few.) / Boring through mountains and penetrating the sea, Great Yu alone is revered; (His effort was not exerted in vain.) / Smelting stones to mend the sky, Nüwa alone is worthy. (Neither could be lacked.) / Old Zhaozhou has a livelihood; (Whatever he casually picks up is right.) / Putting straw sandals on his head was a bit better. (For now, believe half.) / Coming from difference, it is still a clear mirror; (A patch-robed monk is hard to deceive.) / Only this true gold does not mingle with sand. (What is genuine is hard to destroy.)
