坏スハリタルヲ見テ馬ヲス〱ムルニ其烏動カ
ス遂ニ其枝ヲ手折テ持ニ烏不動シテ造付クル
カ如シ其外種々ノ幻術ヲ作シ奇妙ノ目ヲ驚サ
シム雙方安土ニ到テ期日ヲ定メ其時刻ニ及テ
諸宗ノ僧侶列坐スレハ普留考務ヲ論師トシテ
南蠻寺ノ學徒出席ス時ニ普留考務蜀紅錦ノ衣
ヲ著シテ二尺計ノ劔ヲ帶シテ向ヒ進ム僧家ヨ
リ南禪寺ノ印長老對之時ニ普留考務曰如何ナ
ルカ佛法印長老答曰卽心卽佛普留考務又曰如
何ナルカ卽心卽佛ノ奥意長老又答曰卽心卽佛
現代語訳
止まっているのを見て馬を進めるが、その烏は動かない。ついにその枝を手で折って持つと、烏は動かずに作り物のようである。その他種々の幻術を行い、奇妙な技で人々の目を驚かせる。双方が安土に到着して期日を定め、その時刻になって諸宗の僧侶が列座すると、プルゴムスを論師として南蛮寺の学徒が出席した。その時プルゴムスは蜀紅錦の衣を着て二尺ばかりの剣を帯びて向かい進んだ。僧家より南禅寺の印長老が対した時、プルゴムスが言った「いかなるか仏法」。印長老が答えて言った「即心即仏」。プルゴムスがまた言った「いかなるか即心即仏の奥意」。長老がまた答えて言った「即心即仏」。
英語訳
When they saw the crow perched there and urged the horse forward, the crow did not move. Finally, when they broke off the branch and took it, the crow remained motionless as if it were an artificial creation. Besides this, he performed various magical arts and astonished people's eyes with wondrous feats. Both sides arrived in Azuchi and set a date, and when the appointed time came and monks of various sects were seated in rows, the students of the Southern Barbarian temple attended with Burgomestre as their debate leader. At that time, Burgomestre wore robes of Shu red brocade and girded himself with a sword of about two feet in length as he advanced forward. From the Buddhist side, the elder Inkyo of Nanzen-ji temple faced him. Then Burgomestre asked, "What is the Buddha-dharma?" Elder Inkyo answered, "The mind itself is Buddha." Burgomestre asked again, "What is the profound meaning of 'the mind itself is Buddha'?" The elder answered again, "The mind itself is Buddha."
