Destroyer of the Great Trichiliocosm 10

Language

10

“We will purify all this,
As far as the ocean,
Shaking Mount Sumeru
And overturning the earth!

“With lasso, tight and sturdy,
We will bind
The sun, the moon, the winds,
And all the stars!

“We will forever eliminate
Even the quarters of those
Who are wicked
And do the world no good.

“This world with its gods
Complains on account of the bhūtas.
The bhūtas harm human beings
And endanger them.

“The mantra holders show
That anyone who transgresses
Mantras, medicines, or incantations
Is defeated.

“Having threatened them thoroughly with punishment
We will now speak
Before the Lord of the World
To our retinues that transgress the incantation.

“We will now mete out the punishment—
The sūtra manifested by Brahmā—
To those in the circle of bhūtas
Who did not obey when it was uttered.”

They bowed to the feet of the Buddha
And glanced at one another.
Then, on four golden chariots,
Fit for all tasks,

With wheels with a thousand spokes,
And studded with the seven types of precious substances—
Beryl, gold, and silver,
Pearl and crystal,

Ruby and emerald—
They miraculously took to the sky.
The kings, seated there,
Arrived within the circle of bhūtas.

They dispatched all the yakṣa generals
To the four directions, saying:
“Strew the ground
With gold dust and flowers.

“Then, fasten sticks, cords, and nooses
To the necks of all the bhūtas
Present throughout the lands
And bring them here!

“The sublime sūtra
Destroyer of the Great Trichiliocosm,
Heard as far as the Brahma worlds,
Is pondered by all gods.

“Yakṣas and rākṣasas are vanquished
By the body of The Great Trichiliocosm.”
