What’s it?” The grasp known as him by his official title and he answered, “Sure.” The grasp requested, “Are you aware?” The official answered, “No, it doesn’t make any sense to me.” The grasp stated, “When you don’t know, it’s a secret comment, but when you understand, it’s what Mahakasyapa didn’t disguise.”
Pupil: “What’s the secret comment?”
Grasp: “You might be talking it.”
Pupil: “What’s it that Mahakasyapa didn’t disguise?”
Grasp: “You might be revealing it.”
