萬松老人評唱天童覺和尚頌古從容庵錄 1.120

1.120

"A foot of water, a fathom of wave: (Fortunately, the river was clear and the sea calm.)
Before five hundred lifetimes, nothing could be done. (Had he known today's outcome, he would regret not being careful at the beginning.)
Deliberating on 'not falling' and 'not blind', (The stubborn spittle does not cease.)
As before, he bumps into a nest of entangling vines. (Binding the waist and wrapping the legs.)
Ah, haha! (Lamentable, laughable.)
Do you understand? (Pressing the cow's head to eat grass.)
If you are free and unconstrained, (Like an insect eating wood.)
It does not hinder my babbling along: (Coincidentally forming an inscription.)
Spirit songs and village dances make their own tune; (Every beat is a command.)
Clapping hands in their midst, singing li-luo." (Pound it fine and bring it forth.)
