含詞賦 With rhapsody
山下賭鬥
The Battle Below the Mountain
他撞上來，不分好歹，望菩薩舉釘鈀就築。被木吒行者擋住，大喝一聲道：「那潑怪，休得無禮，看棒。」妖魔道：「這和尚不知死活。看鈀。」兩個在山底下一衝一撞，賭鬥輸贏，真個好殺：他撞上来，不分好歹，望菩萨举钉钯就筑。被木吒行者挡住，大喝一声道：「那泼怪，休得无礼，看棒。」妖魔道：「这和尚不知死活。看钯。」两个在山底下一冲一撞，赌斗输赢，真个好杀：
妖魔兇猛，惠岸威能。妖魔凶猛，惠岸威能。
鐵棒分心搗，釘鈀劈面迎。铁棒分心捣，钉钯劈面迎。
播土揚塵天地暗，飛砂走石鬼神驚。播土扬尘天地暗，飞砂走石鬼神惊。
九齒鈀，光耀耀，雙環響喨；一條棒，黑悠悠，兩手飛騰。九齿钯，光耀耀，双环响喨；一条棒，黑悠悠，两手飞腾。
這個是天王太子，那個是元帥精靈。这个是天王太子，那个是元帅精灵。
一個在普陀為護法，一個在山洞作妖精。一个在普陀为护法，一个在山洞作妖精。
這場相遇爭高下，不知那個虧輸那個贏。这场相遇争高下，不知那个亏输那个赢。

總評 Commentary
The boar-demon attacks the Bodhisattva, and Moksa intervenes a second time — the chapter's other sustained combat, again cast as a battle-rhapsody (賦). The verse mirrors the river-fight in structure, pairing rake against rod through the antithetical 這個 / 那個.
The rhapsody is built to be read against its twin: where the river-battle escalated into churning waves, this one raises dust and hurls stones, darkening heaven and frightening the spirits. The parallelism is structural — two future disciples, two subduing combats, two near-identical 賦 — reinforcing the chapter's patterned design.
Following Anthony C. Yu, the closing couplet names the true terms of the encounter: a guardian of the Dharma against a cave-bound demon-spirit. As with Sha Wujing, the fight is not an end but the prelude to recognition and conversion, which the lotus-flower of the next passage will set in motion.
