於是泰清問乎無窮曰：Hereupon Grand Purity asked Infinitude, saying,
「子知道乎？」 'Do you know the Dao?'
無窮曰：「吾不知。」'I do not know it,' was the reply.
又問乎無為。 He then asked Do-nothing,
無為曰： Who replied,
「吾知道。」 'I know it.'
曰：「子之知道，亦有數乎？」Is your knowledge of it determined by various points?
曰：「有。」It is.
曰：「其數若何？」What are they?
無為曰：Do-nothing said,
「吾知道之可以貴， 'I know that the Dao may be considered noble,
可以賤， and may be considered mean,
可以約， that it may be bound and compressed,
可以散。 and that it may be dispersed and diffused.
此吾所以知道之數也。」 These are the marks by which I know it.'
泰清以之言也問乎無始，Grand Purity took the words of those two, and asked No-beginning,
曰： saying,
「若是， 'Such were their replies;
則無窮之弗知，與無為之知，孰是而孰非乎？」which was right? and which was wrong? Infinitude's saying that he did not know it? or Do-nothing's saying that he knew it?'
無始曰： No-beginning said,
「不知深矣， 'The "I do not know it" was profound,
知之淺矣； and the "I know it" was shallow.
弗知內矣， The former had reference to its internal nature;
知之外矣。」 the latter to its external conditions.'
於是泰清中而歎曰：Grand Purity looked up and sighed, saying,
「弗知乃知乎！ 'Is "not to know it" then to know it?
知乃不知乎！And is "to know it" not to know it?
孰知不知之知？」 But who knows that he who does not know it (really) knows it?'
無始曰： No-beginning replied,
「道不可聞， 'The Dao cannot be heard;
聞而非也； what can be heard is not It.
道不可見， The Dao cannot be seen;
見而非也； what can be seen is not It.
道不可言， The Dao cannot be expressed in words;
言而非也。 what can be expressed in words is not It.
知形形之不形乎？Do we know the Formless which gives form to form?
道不當名。」In the same way the Dao does not admit of being named.'
