“ ‘Seeking the wisdom of buddhahood
I offer to the lords of the worlds
Infinite billion-world universes
Entirely filled with jewels. {14}

“ ‘There are these material offerings
But there are other inconceivable offerings.
Those who know that phenomena are empty
Give away their bodies and their lives. {15}

“ ‘I shall speak words of truth.
Great king, listen to me!
All the people gathered here,
Understand the meaning of these verses! {16}

“ ‘If it is true that I will become a buddha,
One who is revered by the world,

To shake in six ways!’ {17}

“He spoke those words
And the earth shook.
Millions of devas were overjoyed,
Amazed, and astonished. {18}

Know phenomena to be like that. {23}

“ ‘When there is fearlessness,
Emptiness is fully comprehended.
Through those words of truth
May the entire world not be burned! {24}

“ ‘May all the beings in the three existences,
The devas and the humans,
All rest in a state of meditation
Because of the brilliance of omniscience. {25}

“ ‘All the misfortunes
That devas and humans have,
May they all come to cessation
Through the brilliance of irreversibility!’ {26}

“After Kṣemadatta spoke those verses
His hand grew back,
