### [1.168](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2004.1.168)

是與不是（細腰鼓子兩頭打）好看棬䙡（刺頭在裏許了也）似抑似揚（手擡手捺）  
難兄難弟（頭高頭低）縱也彼既臨時（翻手是雲）奪也我何特地（覆手是雨）  
金錫一振太孤標（脫塵離俗）繩床三遶閑游戲（因行掉臂）  
叢林擾擾是非生（矮子看戲）想像髑髏前見鬼（家有白澤之圖必無如是妖怪）

> "Right and not right—(A slender-waisted drum struck on both ends.)  
> Look closely at the snare! (The head is already thrust inside.)  
> Seeming to suppress, seeming to extol, (A hand raising, a hand pushing down.)  
> Hard to choose between the elder and younger brother. (Head high, head low.)  
> Giving rein—the other was already responding to the moment; (Turning over the hand, it is clouds.)  
> Depriving—why should I make a special point? (Overturning the hand, it is rain.)  
> The gold staff once shaken is so singularly aloft; (Transcending dust and leaving the mundane.)  
> Thrice circling the rope-seated chair, a leisurely playful sport. (Swinging the arms while walking.)  
> In the monasteries, confusion reigns, rights and wrongs arise; (A dwarf watching a play.)  
> Like seeing ghosts before a skull." (If a house has a drawing of Baize, it surely has no such strange spectres.)
