Variant translation: — I dash aside the manly tear And take leave of my monkish home. A word of thanks to you, my Master dear, Who tonsured me before the Lotus Throne: 'Twas not my luck to stay with you, And in a short while I must say adieu, Naked and friendless through the world to roam. I ask no goods, no gear to take away, Only straw sandals and a broken bowl, To beg from place to place as best I may. — The Story of the Stone, trans.
