### [7.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2064.7.46)

僧普滿。隨意所為不拘僧相。或歌或笑莫喻其旨。以言事往往有驗。故時人待之為萬迴。後於潞州佛舍中題詩數篇而亡。所記者云。此水連涇水。雙珠血滿川。青牛將赤虎。還號太平年題詩後人莫能知。及賊泚稱兵。眾方解悟。此水者泚字。涇水者自涇州兵亂也。雙珠者泚與滔也。青牛者興元二年乙丑歲。乙者木也。丑者牛也。明年改元貞元。歲在丙寅丙者火也。寅者虎也。至是賊已平。故云青牛將赤虎。還號太平年。

> The monk Puman acted as he pleased, not constrained by the marks of a monk. He would sing or laugh, and no one understood his intention. Because his remarks concerning events often proved efficacious, the people of the time regarded him as another Wanhui. Later, in a Buddhist chapel in Luzhou, he wrote several poems and died. What was recorded reads: 'This water connects to the Jing River; / The double pearls, blood fills the streams. / The green ox will lead the red tiger, / And it will again be called a year of Great Peace.' After he wrote the poem, no one could understand it. When the rebel Zhu Ci raised troops, the multitude finally came to understand. 'This water' (此水) refers to the character Ci (泚). 'The Jing River' refers to the military mutiny from Jingzhou. 'The double pearls' (雙珠) refers to Zhu Ci and Zhu Tao. 'The green ox' refers to the second year of the Xingyuan era (yichou): yi is wood \[associated with green\], and chou is the ox. The following year the reign era was changed to Zhenyuan, in the year bingyin: bing is fire \[associated with red\], and yin is the tiger. By that time the rebels had already been pacified; hence it said: 'The green ox will lead the red tiger, / And it will again be called a year of Great Peace.'
