- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [5.92](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2004.5.92)

夜壑藏舟（衲子難謾）澄源著棹（肯墮死水）龍魚未知水為命（當局者迷）  
折筋不妨聊一攪（打草驚蛇）玄沙師小塘老（一狀領過）  
函蓋箭鋒（易開終始口）探竿影草（難保歲寒心）潛縮也老龜巢蓮（藏身處沒蹤跡）  
游戲也華鱗弄藻（沒蹤跡處莫藏身）

> "Hiding a boat in a night ravine; (A patchrobed monk is hard to deceive.) / Putting down oars in a clear source. (Willing to fall into dead water?) / Dragons and fish do not yet know water as life; (Those in the game are confused.) / Snapping a chopstick does no harm to stir it a bit. (Beating the grass startles the snake.) / Master Xuansha, Elder Xiaotang: (Accepting the indictment at once.) / Matching box and lid, arrow points meeting; (Easy to open the mouth of beginning and end.) / A sounding pole, shadowing grass. (Hard to preserve the heart of winter cold.) / Submerged and withdrawn: an old tortoise nesting on a lotus; (In the hiding place, no tracks.) / Playing and sporting: splendidly scaled \[fish\] disporting in weeds." (In the trackless place, do not hide the body.)
