本性圓明道自通，翻身跳出網羅中。修成變化非容易，煉就長生豈俗同？清濁幾番隨運轉，闢開數劫任西東。逍遙萬億年無計，一點神光永注空。
此詩暗合孫大聖的道妙。他自得了那魔真寶，籠在袖中，喜道：「潑魔苦苦用心拿我，誠所謂水中撈月；老孫若要擒你，就好似火上弄冰。」藏著葫蘆，密密的溜出門外，現了本相，厲聲高叫道：「精怪開門！」傍有小妖道：「你又是甚人，敢來吆喝？」行者道：「快報與你那老潑魔，吾乃行者孫來也。」

When the true nature shines complete, the Way opens of itself;with a turn and a leap, one escapes the net.The arts of transformation are not easily perfected;how can a life refined to deathlessness be like the common lot?Through many turns of fortune, clear and turbid shift;through aeons opened out, one roams at will, east or west.Free and at ease through countless billions of years,one spark of spirit light shines forever into emptiness.
This poem accords in secret with the wonders of the Great Sage Sun’s Way. Now that he had the demon’s true treasure tucked in his sleeve, he said happily, “That wretched demon has racked his brains to catch me: truly, he’s fishing for the moon in water. If Old Sun wants to catch you, it’ll be like playing with ice over a fire.” Keeping the gourd hidden, he slipped quietly outside, resumed his true form and shouted sternly, “Monsters, open the door!” A little demon nearby said, “And who are you, daring to shout here?” Pilgrim said, “Hurry in and tell your old wretched demon that Xingzhe Sun has come!”
那小妖急入裡報道：「大王，門外有個甚麼行者孫來了。」老魔大驚道：「賢弟，不好了，惹動他一窩風了。幌金繩現拴著孫行者，葫蘆裡現裝著者行孫，怎麼又有個甚麼行者孫？想是他幾個兄弟都來了。」二魔道：「兄長放心。我這葫蘆裝下一千人哩，我才裝了者行孫一個，又怕那甚麼行者孫？等我出去看看，一發裝來。」老魔道：「兄弟仔細。」

The little demon hurried in to report. “Great King, someone called Xingzhe Sun has come to the door.” The Eldest Demon cried in alarm, “Worthy brother, this is bad! We’ve stirred up a whole swarm of them. The Shimmering Gold Rope has Sun Xingzhe tied up, the gourd has Zhe Xingsun bottled inside, and now where does this Xingzhe Sun come from? All his brothers must have come.” The Second Demon said, “Don’t worry, elder brother. This gourd of mine can hold a thousand people. I’ve only put one Zhe Xingsun inside it. Why be afraid of this Xingzhe Sun? Let me go out and have a look, and bottle him up as well.” The Eldest Demon said, “Be careful, brother.”
你看那二魔拿著個假葫蘆，還像前番，雄糾糾，氣昂昂，走出門高呼道：「你是那裡人氏，敢在此間吆喝？」行者道：「你認不得我：
家居花果山，祖貫水簾洞。只為鬧天宮，多時罷爭競。如今幸脫災，棄道從僧用。秉教上雷音，求經歸覺正。相逢野潑魔，卻把神通弄。還我大唐僧，上西參佛聖。兩家罷戰爭，各守平安境。休惹老孫焦，傷殘老性命。」
那魔道：「你且過來，我不與你相打，但我叫你一聲，你敢應麼？」行者笑道：「你叫我，我就應了；我若叫你，你可應麼？」那魔道：「我叫你，是我有個寶貝葫蘆，可以裝人；你叫我，卻有何物？」行者道：「我也有個葫蘆兒。」那魔道：「既有，拿出來我看。」行者就於袖中取出葫蘆道：「潑魔，你看。」幌一幌，復藏在袖中，恐他來搶。

Look at the Second Demon, false gourd in hand, striding out as proudly and boldly as before! He shouted, “Where are you from, daring to make a noise here?” Pilgrim said, “You don’t recognize me:
My home is Flower-Fruit Mountain;my ancestral seat, the Water-Curtain Cave.For making havoc in the Heavenly Palace,I was long kept from the fray.Now, happily freed from that calamity,I’ve left the Daoist path to serve as a monk.Obeying the teaching, I go to the Thunderclap Monastery,to seek the scriptures and return to true awakening.But here I meet a wild, wretched demon,flaunting his divine powers.Give me back the monk of the Great Tang,to go west and pay homage to the holy Buddha.Let both sides end their fightingand each keep peace within its bounds.Don’t provoke Old Sun to furyand lose your wretched life!”
The demon said, “Come over here. I won’t fight you. But if I call your name once, do you dare answer?” Pilgrim laughed. “If you call me, I’ll answer. But if I call you, will you answer?” The demon said, “I call you because I have a precious gourd that can bottle people up. What have you got to call me with?” Pilgrim said, “I have a little gourd too.” The demon said, “If you have, bring it out and let me see.” Pilgrim took the gourd from his sleeve. “Look, you wretched demon!” He waved it once and hid it in his sleeve again, afraid the other would snatch it.
