with palms placed together he bowed toward the Bhagavān and said to him,⁵⁶⁶ “Bhagavān, it is marvelous that the Bhagavān, the tathāgata, the arhat, the perfectly enlightened Buddha has taught the equality that is the nature of all phenomena, which is the samādhi that all bodhisattvas train in.

“Bhagavān, it was thus, in this training, that the Bhagavān trained for a long time, and accomplished the highest, complete enlightenment of perfect buddhahood. Bhagavān, that gives me confidence to speak.⁵⁶⁷ Sugata, it gives me confidence to speak.”

The Bhagavān said, “Young man, if you think the time has come, be confident to speak.”

Since the Bhagavān had granted the youth Candraprabha this opportunity, Candraprabha spoke the following verses of praise directly to the Bhagavān.

“You saw beings tormented by suffering,⁵⁶⁸
Constantly overpowered by desire and anger,
And developed the aspiration to attain enlightenment:
‘May I become a buddha who liberates beings!’ {1}

“Hero,⁵⁶⁹ for many millions of eons, constantly,
You practiced generosity, self-restraint and self-control,
Patience, correct conduct, and similarly diligence,
And your acts of generosity were vast and infinite. {2}

“Without ever any sadness in your mind
You gave away your legs, arms, and even your life,
And similarly, without attachment you gave away
Gold, silver, sons, wives, and your kingdom. {3}

“Your conduct was stainless and pure.
You made a gift of yourself without ruining your conduct.
You controlled well your body, speech, and mind.
Sugata who has a self-restrained mind, I pay homage to you. {4}

“Delighting in patience, residing on the path of patience,
Even though your body was cut into pieces you were not angered;⁵⁷⁰
Through your meditation on love, milk flowed from you.
Marvelous Sugata, I pay homage to you. {5}

“You possess the strength of the ten strengths.
With wisdom free of attachment you know all phenomena.
