With their minds filled with joy,
Will here give their protection
To those who delight in this sūtra.
“They will bestow on those beings
Life and color and strength,
And will constantly adorn them with perfect
Glory and merit and magnificence.
“They will end all harm from
The planets and the lunar asterisms.
They will bring to an end all troubles,
Bad actions, and nightmares.
“The goddess of the earth herself,
Who has depth and great strength,
Will be satiated by the flavor of
The Lord King of Sūtras, the Sublime Golden Light.
“For sixty-eight thousand
Times a hundred yojanas,
As far down as the vajra foundation,
The fertility of the earth will increase.
“The fertility of the earth that has sunk
A whole hundred yojanas below
Will rise back upward
And enrich the surfaces.
“Every one of all those devas, through
The power of listening to the sūtra,
Will be satiated by the flavor of The Lord King of Sūtras, the Sublime Golden Light.
“They will become perfectly brilliant,³⁴⁴
And similarly they will have strength.
They will be happy and satisfied.
Throughout the entirety of Jambudvīpa,³⁴⁵
“The devas of fruits, harvests, and forests
Will be satisfied by various flavors,
And they will be completely delighted,
Satisfied by the flavor of the sūtra.
“Then the fruits and the harvests,
And the various kinds of flowers
And the various kinds of fruit trees,
Will all develop perfectly.
“All the fruit trees,
The parks, and the forests
Will blossom with flowers
Emitting their various aromas.
“All the plants and trees
That have various kinds of flowers
And various kinds of fruits
Will grow upon the earth.
“Throughout the entirety of this Jambudvīpa,
There will be innumerable nāga maidens
Whose minds will become filled with joy,
And they will come to where the ponds are.
“And there will grow in all the ponds
A variety of night lotuses,
Red lotuses, and similarly
Blue lotuses and white lotuses.
