Four-legged beings, be well.
When you set out, be well;
And when you return, be well.

“ ‘Be well in the daytime; be well in the night;
Be well at midday, too.
May all of you be always well;
May all of you know no evil.⁴²

“ ‘Surrounded by a thousand gods,
The Buddha has arrived—
So, you with hateful thoughts, disperse!
And you whose nature is compassion, stay.

“ ‘By the power of the true words of the buddhas,
Pratyekabuddhas, arhats, and those being trained,
Those who do harm to the world
Should be gone from this city.⁴³

“ ‘All sentient beings, all living creatures,
All bhūtas, and every one of you—
May you have nothing but happiness.
May you all be free from illness.
May you all see what is good.
May all of you know no evil.⁴⁴

“ ‘May whatever bhūtas are assembled here,
All those who live upon the earth or in the sky,
Act always lovingly for human beings
And practice Dharma day and night.’ ”⁴⁵
