On precious beryl thrones,
Looking straight ahead in the middle
Of many hundreds of thousands of followers.

“I saw someone resembling a brahmin
Who beat that big drum.
As he was beating it,
There came these verses:

“ ‘Through the sound of the great drum of sublime golden light,
May all the suffering of the lower existences,
The suffering in Yama’s realm,⁵⁷ and the suffering of poverty
Cease in the three realms within this trichiliocosm.

“ ‘Through the sound and words of the great drum,
May all the ignorance in the world cease;
Just as the lord of sages is without fear and his fear has ceased,
So may all beings be without fear and have their fears cease.

“ ‘Just like the omniscient lord of sages in saṃsāra
Possesses all the qualities of the āryas,
In that way, may beings become oceans of qualities,
Possessing the qualities of the aspects of enlightenment.

“ ‘Through the sound and words of the great drum,
May all beings possess the voice of Brahmā
And reach the supreme enlightenment of
Sublime buddhahood and turn the good Dharma wheel.

“ ‘May they remain for countless eons.
May they teach the Dharma to benefit beings.
May they defeat the kleśas and dispel suffering.
May desire, anger, and ignorance cease.

“ ‘Those beings who are in the lower realms,
Whose skeleton bodies are burning in fire,
May they hear the sound of the great drum
And hear the words, “Homage to the buddhas!”

“ ‘May all beings remember hundreds of lifetimes—
Thousands of millions⁵⁸ of lifetimes.
May they always remember the Munīndra,
And may they hear his vast teaching.

“ ‘Through the sound and words of the great drum,
May they always be together with buddhas
And completely forsake bad actions.
May they accomplish good actions.

“ ‘May the sound of the great drum
Completely bring to fulfillment
Whatever wishes and prayers are made
By humans, devas, and all beings.
