“Noble one, this dhāraṇī is recited so that more buddha bhagavats than there are grains of sand in ten Ganges Rivers will protect the bodhisattvas on the tenth bhūmi.

“Those who recite and possess this dhāraṇī mantra will be freed from all terrors—fierce beasts, malevolent pretas, humans and nonhumans and so on, opposing enemies, the torments of various kinds of suffering, the planets, and the five kinds of obscurations—and they will remember the tenth bhūmi.”

Then the bodhisattva mahāsattva by the name of Unobstructed Appearance of the Light of a Lion’s Ornament, having heard the Bhagavat teach those dhāraṇīs, rose from his seat and, with his upper robe over one shoulder, knelt on his right knee, placed his palms together in homage, bowed down to the Bhagavat’s two feet, and praised him with these verses:

“I praise you, who are beyond example,
The unique Bhagavat who liberates
Beings with weak knowledge
In the profound Dharma without characteristics.

“The Tathāgatas’ eyes of wisdom
Do not see a single characteristic of phenomena.
Your eyes of the pure Dharma
Have complete, inconceivable clarity.

“Every phenomenon has no birth,
And neither does it cease.
Through seeing equally in that way,
One will be in the highest state.

“Not being terrified of saṃsāra,
Or remaining in nirvāṇa—
Not dwelling in the two extremes—
In that way nirvāṇa is attained.

“Because you make no distinction
Between that which is pure and impure,
The Bhagavat knows one taste
