“The supreme lords of the devas  
Will all in their minds be thinking,  
And every one of the devas  
Will be saying to one another,  
  
“ ‘Look at them, they who have  
Accumulated merit, glory, and majesty!  
They have come here⁴⁵⁰  
To listen to this profound sūtra.  
  
“ ‘Those humans who have arrived here  
Through having developed good roots⁴⁵¹  
Have reverence for the stūpa of the Dharma,  
With a faith that is inconceivable.  
  
“ ‘They have compassion for the world  
And they bring benefit to beings.  
They are vessels for the flavor of the sublime Dharma  
That comes from the profound Dharmas.  
  
“ ‘They have entered through  
The entrance to the Dharma realm.  
They who listen to this sublime goodness,  
The Sūtra of the Sublime Golden Light,  
  
“ ‘Have in the past made offerings  
To a hundred thousand buddhas;  
It is because of those good roots  
That they are listening to the sūtra.’  
  
“All the lords and kings of devas—  
Sarasvatī, and similarly  
Śrī and Vaiśravaṇa,  
And, similarly, the Four Mahārājas,⁴⁵²  
  
“And the hundred thousand yakṣas  
Who have great might and miraculous powers—  
All of them in the four directions⁴⁵³  
Will give them perfect protection.  
  
“Indra, Soma, and Yama,  
Vāyu and Varuṇa,  
Skanda, Viṣṇu, Sarasvatī,  
Consumer of Burnt Offerings, and Prajāpati,⁴⁵⁴  
  
“Those who with great power subjugate adversaries,  
All those protectors of the world,  
Day and night, never inattentive,  
Will give them their protection.⁴⁵⁵  
  
“The yakṣa lords that have great might⁴⁵⁶—  
Nārāyaṇa and Maheśvara,  
Saṃjñeya, and also the rest of  
The other twenty-eight yakṣas,⁴⁵⁷  
  
“And the hundred thousand yakṣas  
With their great might and miraculous powers—  
Will give them their protection  
From all terror and fears.  
  
“Vajrapāṇi, the lord of yakṣas,  
With five hundred yakṣas  
And all the bodhisattvas,  
Will give them his protection.  
  
“Maṇibhadra, the lord of yakṣas,
