*Buddhapashcimavavadopadesha 1.3

1.3

頂禮三世尊，無上功德海，
哀愍度眾生，是故我歸命。
清淨深法藏，增長修行者，
世及出世間，我等皆南無。
我所建立論，解釋佛經義，
為彼諸菩薩，令知方便道。
以知彼道故，佛法得久住，
滅除凡聖過，成就自他利。

Bowing my head to the Bhagavat of the three times, the ocean of unsurpassed merit,
who in compassion delivers sattvas, therefore I pay homage with namas.
To the pure and profound dharmakośa, which fosters those who practice,
both mundane and supramundane, we all offer namo.
In the treatise that I establish, explaining the meaning of the Buddha's sūtra,
I cause those bodhisattvas to know the upāyamārga.
Because they know that path, the Buddha-Dharma will abide long,
extinguishing the faults of ordinary beings and noble ones, and accomplishing the benefit of self and others.
