### [3.99](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2004.3.99)

曼殊問疾老毘耶（仁義道中）不二門開看作家（衲僧分上）  
珉表粹中誰賞鑒（大辯若訥）忘前失後莫咨嗟（大智若愚）  
區區投璞兮楚庭臏士（獻直得曲）璨璨報珠兮隋城斷蛇（夜光投人鮮不按劍）  
休點破（幸自完全）絕玼瑕（一任指點）俗氣渾無却較些（相上觀人失之多矣）

> Mañjuśrī inquired about illness of old Vaiśālī; (In the midst of the way of humaneness and righteousness.) / The gate of non-duality opened—look at the adept! (On the part of the patch-robed monk.)  
> An inferior jade outside, pure within—who will appreciate and appraise it? (Great eloquence seems slow of speech.) / Forgetting the past and losing the future, do not sigh! (Great wisdom seems foolish.)  
> Painstakingly presenting the uncut gem—the knight of the Chu court had his feet amputated; (Presenting the straight, one gets the bent.) / Brilliantly repaying with the pearl—the severed snake of the city of Sui. (When a night-shining pearl is cast at someone, few fail to clasp their swords.)  
> Stop picking out flaws! (Luckily it was whole of itself.) / Free of any blemish. (Allowing all pointing.) / Having no worldly air at all is somewhat better. (Judging a person by appearance errs greatly.)
