Also present were Śakra, Brahmā, and the protectors of the world, as well as gods, nāgas, yakṣas, gandharvas, demigods, garuḍas, kinnaras, mahoragas, humans, and nonhumans. They had all come from all parts of this great trichiliocosm and gathered in the assembly to behold the Blessed One, pay homage to him, revere him, and listen to the Dharma.

At that time, the bodhisattva great being Divyamauli was part of that retinue. When he saw that great assembly of bodhisattvas, he stood up, draped his shawl over one shoulder, prostrated to the feet of the Blessed One, circumambulated him three times, and knelt on his right knee. Bowing down with his palms joined together in the direction of the Blessed One, he uttered these verses of praise:

“You have transcended the world and serve as a lamp for its inhabitants.
Wise One, you accomplish the benefit of the world,
You have reached illumination, and you eliminate the stains of afflictions;
Illuminator of the world, I pay homage to you!

“You delight in generosity, you possess the ten supreme powers,
You are gentle and restrained, and you have reached the culmination of discipline.
Blessed One, you are worshiped by gods, humans, and nāgas,
And you have perfected discipline; I pay homage to you!

“You possess the supreme marks and accomplish the benefit of many beings.
Your aura of light has the color of gold,
You are endowed with a sacred physical form adorned with the marks of virtue,
And you are peerless in the three realms; I pay homage to you!

“You who have reached the other shore, you have vanquished hosts of enemies,
And you unflaggingly defeat your opponents.
You are an expert in sentient beings’ mental activity,³³
And you possess supreme compassion; I pay homage to you!

“King of the worthy ones, you have cleared away the dust of the afflictions,
And you abide by right livelihood, spiritual observances, and discipline.
