Tens of billions of śakra gods
Stationed in the sky
Tossed much powdered gold from the Jambu River
Upon the Thus-Gone One.

Ten million brahmā gods arrived
And tossed powdered red sandalwood
Upon the perfect Buddha
And sang melodious songs.

Seeing the immaculate light,
The gods arrayed themselves in the sky.
They sang countless songs
And waved fabrics in the sky.

The gods arrayed in the sky,
Holding thousands of lotus flowers,
Displayed them to the World Illuminator
And venerated him with banners and so forth.

With minds filled with joy,
They honored the unparalleled supreme Victor, the Lord of Sages.
They praised him and scattered upon him
Garlands of precious jewels and pearls.

A trillion people
Venerated the unparalleled supreme Victor.
They remembered hundreds of their past lives
And bowed their heads to the unparalleled Lord of Sages.

Then, the World Illuminator
Beat the Dharma drum;
Its sound was heard throughout many billions
Of buddha realms.

At that moment,
Countless millions of beings arrived from all directions.
They were established in the wisdom of buddhahood
By the perfect Buddha.

The young man was delighted;
He offered a seat of uraga sandalwood
And venerated the supreme Buddha
With powdered gems.

The light of one precious gem
Shone throughout thousands of worlds.
The light of that single gem
Radiated throughout billions of worlds.

In the same way, light sprang forth
From every gem without exception.
At that moment, they also
Illuminated Vaiśālī.

All of these gems were used
To venerate the principle Buddha.
A great pile of gems
Also was offered to the Great Sage.

Parasols adorned
With pearl garlands surrounded him.
Each had twenty-five thousand
Surrounding layers.

They venerated the Great Sage
Through such excellent means.
