Poems on Praising Master Mukan Fumon

詩草二首 東●（上自+下十+中左右各二橫）心越
中國
此卷為東●（上自+下十+中左右各二橫）心越禪師前往日本京都雲光寺時，因見寺中無關普門大明國師像，遂作偈詠讚。其先言大明國師功績，接著讚歎大明國師個人的情操。詠讚文成，遂抄寫寄與英中玄賢禪師，而成此作。
此書筆畫多見彎折奇怪，似在隸篆之間，乃是學習《夏承碑》一類的隸書形體所致。然而，東●（上自+下十+中左右各二橫）心越以統一的速度與結字，調和了高古奇怪之氣，使整體少碑味而多帖寫之流動，應該是來自《曹全碑》的啟發。特別是那些用筆強勁的雁尾與捺筆，似乎可見東●（上自+下十+中左右各二橫）心越書寫時激越昂揚之情。
東●（上自+下十+中左右各二橫）心越俗姓蔣，法名興儔，字心越，號東●（上自+下十+中左右各二橫），為清（1644～1911）初高僧，後應日本澄一法師的邀請，前往日本弘法。
參考釋文：時庚申春仲既望又乙／□適登光雲寺瞻禮／闓山大明國師像偶拈／憶昔唐山去復來斷橋因／見嘆奇哉歸家兀坐無餘／物贏得南禪第一臺／相扶正法立門庭喜得轟／轟烈烈人乙句了然超百／億方知就裡主中賓／右偈二首書似／英中禪師哂政／東●（上自+下十+中左右各二橫）心越興儔具草
