The Long Āgama Sūtra 1.23

1.23

「毘婆尸名觀，智慧不可量；
遍見無所畏，三會弟子眾。
尸棄光無動，能滅諸結使；
無量大威德，無能測量者；
彼佛亦三會，弟子普共集。
毘舍婆斷結，大仙人要集；
名聞於諸方，妙法大名稱；
二會弟子眾，普演深奧義。
拘樓孫一會，哀愍療諸苦；
導師化眾生，一會弟子眾。
拘那含如來，無上亦如是；
紫磨金色身，容貌悉具足；
一會弟子眾，普演微妙法。
迦葉一一毛，一心無亂想；
一語不煩重，一會弟子眾。
能仁意寂滅，釋種沙門上；
天中天最尊，我一會弟子。
彼會我現義，演布清淨教；
心常懷歡喜，漏盡盡後有。
毘婆、尸棄三，毘舍婆佛二，
四佛各各一，仙人會演說。

“Vipaśyin was named for vision;
His wisdom was immeasurable.
He saw everything without fear
And had three congregations of disciples.

Śikhin’s light was undisturbed,
And he destroyed the bonds.
His measureless and great authority
Was impossible to fathom.
That Buddha also had three congregations
Of disciples who gathered from all around.

Viśvabhū broke the bonds
And gathered great sages together.
His name was heard in all directions,
And his wonderful teaching was famous.
To his two congregations of disciples,
He widely explained the profound meaning.

Krakucchanda had one congregation;
He took pity on them and healed their pains.
That teacher educated the sentient beings
In that single congregation of disciples.

Tathāgata Kanakamuni
Was likewise supreme.
His body was the color of purple gold,
And his appearance was perfect.
To his one congregation of disciples,
He widely proclaimed the subtle teaching.

Kāśyapa’s unified mind perceived
Each one of his hairs without distraction.
With a single discourse that wasn’t troubling,
He had a single congregation of disciples.

Śākyamuni’s thinking was tranquil,
That highest ascetic of the Śākya tribe.
Being the Supreme Sage, the God among Gods,
I have a single congregation of disciples.

To that congregation, I show the doctrine
And proclaim the pure teaching.
My mind always feels joyous
With contaminants gone and later lives ended.

Vipaśyin and Śikhin had three,
Buddha Viśvabhū had two,
And four buddhas each had one
Congregation of sages whom they taught.
