5.11
Although this has no existent nature and in essence is empty,
It is created by mistaken thoughts.
“I have completely eliminated all kleśas,
And I am always active within true wisdom.
I realized that all the five-skandha houses are empty
And searched for the true state of enlightenment.
“I have opened the gate⁷⁰⁰ to the great city⁷⁰¹ of amṛta.
I have revealed the⁷⁰² vessel of excellent amṛta.
I have obtained the flavor of the true amṛta
And am constantly giving the amṛta to beings.
“I have beaten the sublime, great drum⁷⁰³ of the Dharma.
I have blown the supreme,⁷⁰⁴ great conch of the Dharma.

I completed the ten bhūmis and attained true buddhahood.
Therefore, I am called an omniscient one,
But there are no beings who can fathom that.⁷¹⁵
“All that grows from this great earth
Throughout the trichiliocosm world realms—
The forests, the trees, the wild rice, and sesame,⁷¹⁶
Bamboo, and so on, every kind of plant life there is—⁷¹⁷
