7.12

He adjusted his upper robe on one shoulder, knelt down on his right knee, touched the Blessed One’s feet, and bowed. He then faced the Blessed One, joined his palms, bowed slightly, and praised him directly with these verses:

“You are a repository of all the various qualities,
The sole protector of beings on earth and in the heavens.
Well-Gone One, you delight in peace and tranquility.
You have no equal in the world—how could you be surpassed?

“Your intellect is even, unwavering, and harmonizing.
Lord, your mind bears great compassion.
Like the sky, your mind remains unsullied,
Equally beneficent;²¹¹ your words and deeds are true.

“You have no enemies or friends,
Nor, Lord, do you feel joy or despair.
Like a doctor you tend to the care of beings,
Acting without concept while arousing compassion.

“Asuras, gods, nāgas, garuḍas, and yakṣas
Take refuge in you and find peace.
Protector, you are beneficent in the three existences.
I seek refuge in you, Sage.

“Well-Gone One, you do not see the uncompounded.
Of peaceful mind, you still see no qualities in peace.
Rejecting the ways of both, you hold no concepts—
Lord, you pass into nirvāṇa and then act in the world.

“Your tranquility is unfathomable like the ocean,
You know the qualities of the ten strengths,
And your qualities are boundless as the earth and sky.
I join my hands and bow my head to you, protector.

“You neither swim nor sink in the river of existence.
Best of beings, you are not carried away²¹² nor stay in place.
You alone²¹³ crossed over the ocean of existence;
I bow before you of incomparable oceanic mind.

“Like a lotus you are not sullied by water;
On earth, you teach liberation from worldly ways.
Your knowledge is unequaled by anyone—
I take refuge in you of unmatched intellect.

“There is not the slightest thing here you do not know.
