Gives rise to a mind that is gross. {14}

“Those who have a subtle perception
Within their names-and-form
Will have a mind that is radiant
And without attachment to names-and-form. {15}

“I remember that in my previous lives
During seven countless eons,
The three bad perceptions⁸⁰⁹
Never arose in me at any time. {16}

“My mind has been undefiled
For countless millions of eons.
I bring benefit to beings
And my body is not visible. {17}

“The one whose mind
Is liberated from existents
Will never again be
Connected with existents. {18}

“My consciousness is liberated
Completely from all things.
I know the nature of the mind,
So that henceforth wisdom will arise. {19}

“My emanations proceed
To thousands of millions of realms.
There they benefit beings
Though there is no body to be found. {20}

“Without characteristics, without attributes,
It is the same as space.
My body is indescribable.
It is taught to be difficult to understand. {21}

“The dharmakāya, the great hero,
Is a body born from the Dharma.
The Jina cannot be made known
By means of the rūpakāya. {22}

“Māra will find no opportunity
To cause harm to the one
Who has felt joy on hearing
These words that have been taught. {23}

“Those who have heard the profound Dharma
And have not been frightened by it,
Will not even for the sake of their lives
Forsake the enlightenment of buddhahood. {24}

“They will know the truth that is taught
In thousands of millions of sūtras.
They will be a light for the world
Wherever it is that they will go.⁸¹⁰ {25}
