They bowed to the feet of the Blessed One and venerated him with their flowers, fragrances, incense, flower garlands, lotions, powders, clothing, parasols, banners, pennants, instruments,¹² and singing. At this point, he and his retinue of queens and relatives praised the Blessed One with these fitting verses:

“You work to benefit the world, you are honored by the world, and you give sight to the world.
Though born in this world, you are unsullied by it, like a lotus unsullied by water.
You see with your three eyes—Light of the World, you bring joy.
O Sun of the World, you understand conditions. Foremost in the world, today we honor you!

“Gentle and disciplined, you mastered the ten powers and perfected generosity and discipline.
Guide, you burned all the dust, darkness, stains, and roughness of the afflictions, incinerating their sprouts.
Compassionately, you bestow the seven highest riches, and your love for beings is exalted.
To you, a field of merit, the world’s best friend, I bow my head.

“The shining ūrṇā hair by your eyebrows is white like jasmine flowers, the moon, or a conch.
Even the gods from the abodes of Brahmā cannot see your uṣṇīṣa.
From your moon-like face, miraculous light shines, illuminating all beings without exception.
Its touch has the capacity to bring bliss, even to beings who have committed inexpiable evil deeds.

“Your speech is so captivating; like the moon your words satisfy the mind—
Outshining the speech of gods and humans, it is absolutely pure and pristine.
You clear the darkening dust of attachment and aggression and illuminate insight.
You please and delight, cause happiness, and are the true teacher of freedom.
