4.14
“ ‘They have come here
To listen to this profound sūtra.
They have reverence for the stūpa of the Dharma,
With their 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,³³²
“And the hundred thousand yakṣas
Who have great might and miraculous powers—
All of them in the four directions³³³
Will give them perfect protection.
“Indra, Soma, and Yama,
Vāyu and Varuṇa,
Skanda, Viṣṇu, Sarasvatī,
Consumer of Burnt Offerings, and Prajāpati,³³⁴
“Those who with great power subjugate adversaries,
All those protectors of the world,
Day and night, never inattentive,
Will give them their protection. ³³⁵
“The yakṣa lords that have great might³³⁶—
Nārāyaṇa and Maheśvara,
Saṃjñeya, and also the rest of
The other twenty-eight yakṣas,³³⁷
“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,
And similarly, Pūrṇabhadra,
Kumbhīra and Aṭāvika,
Piṅgala and Kapila—
“Each of those lords of yakṣas,
Accompanied by five hundred yakṣas—
Will give their protection to
Those who listen to this sūtra.
“Gandharva and Citrasena,
Jinarāja and Jinarṣabha,
