“ ‘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,
May that truth cause this earth
To shake in six ways!’ {17}
“He spoke those words
And the earth shook.
Millions of devas were overjoyed,
Amazed, and astonished. {18}
“The joyous devas and humans
Developed the aspiration for enlightenment.
Immeasurable, incalculable numbers
Were established in the supreme yāna. {19}
“The benefit accomplished
By the bhikṣu Kṣemadatta
Is the unending and inconceivable engagement
With the wisdom of the buddhas. {20}
“ ‘If it is true that this phenomenon
That is called “hand” does not exist,
Then may that truth cause my hand
To be instantly restored as it was before! {21}
“ ‘If it is true that this phenomenon
Called “Kṣemadatta” does not exist,
Though one seeks for it in the ten directions,
It will be not be found, because it is empty. {22}
“ ‘Whatever sound arises,
Know it to be empty.
Sound is like an echo:
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,
