### [28.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.28.20)

至聖冥運　罔慮罔識　神功掩暉  
賢愚難測　善惡共居　昇沈同色  
對事思悟　知之神匿　處染不涅  
遺塵攸息　匪伊玄覽　孰扇其極  
省己愚墯　高慕齊德　萬代揚名  
千齡福力

> The utmost sage operates in secret, / Without thought and without cognition.  
> His divine efficacy conceals its splendor; / The worthy and the foolish can hardly fathom it.  
> Good and evil dwell together; / Ascending and sinking share the same appearance.  
> Contemplating and awakening upon confronting matters, / He knows that the spirit is concealed.  
> Dwelling amidst defilement yet unstained, / Abandoning dust, he finds rest.  
> Were it not for his profound insight, / Who could kindle it to the utmost?  
> Reflecting upon one's own folly and sloth, / One looks up with admiration, seeking equal virtue;  
> For ten thousand generations spreading renown, / For a thousand ages manifesting the power of merit.
