27.30

罽賓國王秉劍詣師子尊者前問曰。師得蘊空否。師曰。已得蘊空。曰既得蘊空離生死否。師曰。已離生死。曰既離生死就師乞頭還得否。師曰。身非我有豈況於頭。王便斬之出白乳。王臂自墮（玄覺徵云。且道斬著斬不著。玄沙云。大小師子尊者不能與頭作主。玄覺又云。玄沙恁麼道。要人作主不要人作主。若也要人作主蘊即不空。若不要人作主。玄沙恁麼道意在什麼處。試斷看）。

The king of Kashmir took a sword and went before the Venerable Siṃha, asking, "Master, have you attained the emptiness of the aggregates?" The Master said, "I have already attained the emptiness of the aggregates." The king said, "Having already attained the emptiness of the aggregates, are you free from birth and death?" The Master said, "I am already free from birth and death." The king said, "Having already been freed from birth and death, if I beg for the Master's head, would you give it?" The Master said, "Even the body is not my own, how much less the head!" The king then severed it; white milk flowed out, and the king's arm fell off of itself. (Xuanjue interrogated, "Tell me, did he strike him or did he not strike him?" Xuansha said, "Big or small, the Venerable Siṃha could not take charge of his own head." Xuanjue further said, "In speaking thus, did Xuansha want someone to take charge, or did he not want someone to take charge? If one wants someone to take charge, then the aggregates are not empty. If one does not want someone to take charge, what was Xuansha's intention in speaking like this? Try to judge it and see!")
