Text
[attributed to Yuji Zhihui (愚極智慧; ca. 1215–1300)]
Clapping hands he comes, opening wide his smiling mouth. / Reciting verses incompletely and composing poems without rhymes, / he abandons [worldly concerns] and works with a bamboo broom. / In front of Five Peaks, behind Twin Torrents, / in the lion’s cave, there is no other animal.
