行者道：「師父穩坐，莫要驚怕，我去了就來。」
行者道：「师父稳坐，莫要惊怕，我去了就来。」
Pilgrim said, "Sit tight, Master. Do not be alarmed at anything. I shall be back as soon as I have gone."
The last four characters are a small joke of Pilgrim's — gone and back in the same breath, which for somebody who travels by somersault cloud is very nearly true.
三藏端坐松陰之下，八戒、沙僧卻去尋花覓果閑耍。
三藏端坐松阴之下，八戒、沙僧却去寻花觅果闲耍。
Tripitaka sat upright beneath the shade of the pines, while Bajie and Sha Monk went off to hunt for flowers and fruit and amuse themselves.
端坐 is to sit square and upright, the posture of meditation — and in the next passage that is exactly what he will be doing, reciting the Heart Sutra, when the voice starts calling.
The passage separates the party with great economy. Pilgrim goes up, Bajie and Sha Monk wander off, and Tripitaka is left sitting alone under the trees in the middle of the wood the verse spent eighteen lines describing.
Pilgrim's parting instruction is to sit tight and not be alarmed. Both halves will be disregarded within the hour, and by the master rather than by the pigs and monsters he was warning against.
