The king pressed them to stay and could not prevail, so he stamped the travel papers, drew up the royal carriage in state, and invited Tripitaka to sit securely in the dragon coach.
得 is de here: 懇留不得 is the potential negative, could not manage to keep them, because the character in front of 不 is 留, a full verb. This is the last of the chapter's three 不得. 關文 is the passport the pilgrims must have stamped at every kingdom.
The king and his consorts all took hold of the hub and pushed at the wheel, and so saw them off and parted.
捧轂推輪 is a fixed phrase for the highest honour a ruler can show a departing guest: he puts his own hands to the carriage and helps push it away. 轂 is the hub of a wheel.
This is a case of:
Two characters, and the only bare tag in the chapter. Every other showcase here has been opened by a tag fused to the end of its own sentence; this one stands by itself and announces the closing couplet.
Where the affinity is right, the sickness of worry and doubt is washed clean away; cut off the thoughts, think nothing, and the heart is quiet of itself.
有緣 is karmic affinity, the connection that makes a meeting possible. The couplet rhymes on 病 and 寧, both in the same -ing rhyme, and takes the rhyme in its opening line as a closing couplet normally does.
捧轂推輪 is worth knowing. It means to take hold of the hub and push the wheel — the ceremony by which a ruler shows the highest possible honour to a departing guest by putting his own hands to the carriage. The king and all his consorts do it. Two hours ago he was on the floor shouting about his fingers.
正是： is the only bare tag in the chapter. Every other showcase — the lament, the autobiography, the rhapsody, the two provenance poems, the immortal's portrait — has been announced by a tag welded to the end of its own sentence. The closing couplet gets the plain formula, standing alone.
And the couplet itself answers the lyric the chapter opened with. That one said form is emptiness and the furnace is unnecessary; this one says cut off the thoughts, think nothing, and the heart is quiet of itself. Between them lies a story about a stolen queen, a poisoned raincoat and three bells full of smoke.
