“Someone who wishes to make an
Inconceivable offering to all the buddhas,
And wishes to know the profound
Field of activity of all the buddhas,

“Should go to the place, whether
It is a temple or a dwelling,
Where is taught this⁴⁴² sūtra of
The Sublime Golden Light.

“This sūtra is inconceivable;
Its ocean of qualities is endless,
And it liberates all beings
From the oceans of many sufferings.⁴⁴³

“I see the beginning of this sūtra
And also its middle and its conclusion.
This lord of sūtras is extremely profound.
There is no analogy that exists for it.

“All of the particles that exist
In the Ganges and on the earth,
In the oceans and in the sky,
Cannot serve as an analogy for it.

“The entrance to the Dharma realm
Should be entered at that time.
Jina Śākyamuni should be seen
In the center of a stūpa,

“Which is the profound, enduring stūpa
That is the embodiment of the Dharma,
Teaching this sūtra perfectly
With a voice that is beautiful.

“May the happiness of⁴⁴⁴ devas
And of humans be experienced
For as many countless, innumerable
Million of eons as there are.

“Whoever listens to this sūtra
Should think they will accomplish
My inconceivable accumulation of merit;
At that time, they should know this to be so.

“Someone should, in order to listen to this sūtra,
Be able to endure the intense pain
Of crossing over a hundred-yojana-wide
Moat filled with a blazing inferno.

“Then, as soon as they enter into
The temple or the dwelling,
Their bad karma will be eliminated
And all the qualities of nightmares,

Harm from planets and lunar asterisms,
And terrible evil spirits and demons
Will be entirely driven away
The moment that they enter there.

“There the Dharmabhāṇaka should make a seat
That is in the form of a lotus
Exactly as has been revealed
By nāga kings in a dream.⁴⁴⁵

“Having sat upon that seat,
They should teach this sūtra,
Write it out, and read it out loud,
