152

And to the spotless lotus roots of the Jina’s teeth;

“To the sea of the Jina’s qualities
That is the source of many jewels;
To the Jina’s ocean filled with the water of wisdom
That is pervaded by hundreds of thousands of samādhis;

“To the Jina’s feet with the design of wheels,
With hubs, rims, and a thousand spokes;
To the hands and feet beautified by webs,
The webs of the feet like those of the lord of geese;

“And to the mountain of the Jina that is stainless gold
And that is shining like a golden mountain,
Who, like Meru, possesses all qualities—
To the Jina, the lord of mountains, we pay homage.

“To the Tathāgata who is like the sun and moon,²⁶⁹
To the one who is similar to and equal to space,²⁷⁰
Who has no impediment like a mirage or illusion, ²⁷¹
To the stainless Jina we pay homage.”

“You who are guardians of the world
Should protect with unwavering diligence
The Golden Light, The Supreme King and
Lord of Sūtras of those with the ten strengths,

“So that this profound, precious sūtra
That bestows happiness on all beings
Will remain long in this Jambudvīpa
For the sake of the happiness and benefit of beings.

“It will bring an end to all the suffering
Of the beings that are in the hells
And the suffering of the lower existences
In the worlds of this trichiliocosm.

“Within this Jambudvīpa,
May all the kings in Jambudvīpa
With great, perfect joy
Protect their domains through the Dharma.²⁷²

“May those who make Jambudvīpa happy
With excellent harvests and joy
Make all beings become happy
Throughout the whole of Jambudvīpa.

“Those who are lords of humans here,
