威萬刧モ易ルヿナシト云ハ僞カ說法ノ其理貫
通セス此義如何ト問レテ梅庵一言モ口ヲ開ク
ヿ能ハスサシウツムキテ口ヲトツ栢翁責掛テ
梅庵此返答如何如何ト問詰レトモ始メ栢翁能ク
言語ヲ再度問返シテ詞ヲ固メ置ケル故爰ニ至
テ梅庵一向ニ法門ノ口ヲ開キ得スシテ曰栢翁
愚癡ニシテ法意ニ通セス女性ノ論ノ如シ何ノ
理カ通セン不便ナル哉悲ムヘキ哉緣ナキ衆生
ハ度シ難シト云テ座ヲ起テ去ントス栢翁其裾
ヲ取テ引留メ緣ナキ衆生ハ度シ難シトハ釋迦

When questioned thus, Baian could not open his mouth to speak even a single word, hanging his head and closing his mouth tight. Hakuō pressed him, saying "Baian, what is your response to this? What is your response?" and questioned him persistently. However, since Hakuō had from the beginning skillfully questioned him repeatedly to establish his arguments firmly, when it came to this point, Baian was completely unable to open his mouth regarding Buddhist doctrine and said: "Hakuō is foolish and does not comprehend the meaning of the Dharma.

Saying this, he rose from his seat to leave. Hakuō grasped his sleeve and held him back, saying "That sentient beings without karmic connection are difficult to save—did Shakyamuni
