2.19

He placed his palms together, gazed with veneration upon the face of the Bhagavat, and said, “Bhagavat, I dreamed that a brahmin beat a sublime golden drum from which came a loud sound, and from that sound were taught sublime Dharma verses of the confession of bad actions. I memorized them and remember them. Bhagavat, I request that through your great compassion you give me permission to recite them.”

Then, in the presence of the Bhagavat, he recited those verses:

“In a dream I had last night,
I saw a great golden drum
With an exceptionally superior shape,
Completely suffused with light rays.

“It was like the disk of the sun,
Its radiance spreading everywhere,
Filling the worlds in the ten directions.
I saw an entire multitude of buddhas

“Seated on thrones of beryl
At the foot of precious trees,
Encircled by respectful assemblies
Of countless hundreds of thousands.

“Then there was a brahmin
Who beat the great golden drum,
And from the sound of that great drum
These sublime verses were spoken:

“ ‘May the sound of the drum of golden light
Spread through all world realms in the trichiliocosm,²¹²
And through the power and might of the golden drum’s sound,
May the terrible suffering in the three lower existences,²¹³

“ ‘All the many sufferings that humans have,
And all the kleśa obscurations permanently cease,
And may fear be dispelled and there be happiness,²¹⁴
Just as it has been for the Lord of Munis, the Bhagavat.²¹⁵

“ ‘The Bhagavat in saṃsāra’s great ocean
Has practiced virtuous conduct and accomplished wisdom.²¹⁶
He causes beings to possess the aspects of enlightenment
And finally causes them to enter an ocean of good qualities.²¹⁷

“ ‘May all who hear the sound of the great drum
Of sublime golden light attain the voice of Brahmā,
