5.3

“ ‘The buddhas who have been are as numerous as particles,
As numerous as the dust on the surface of the earth;
Those who will appear, who are as numerous as the smallest particles,
And those who are present, who are as numerous as the smallest particles,

“ ‘To those jinas I pay homage⁶³¹
In pure faith, with body and speech,
Offering flowers and offering perfumes
With a hundred colors⁶³² and a virtuous mind.⁶³³

“ ‘I could not describe those qualities of the jinas⁶³⁴
In a thousand eons with a hundred tongues.⁶³⁵
The virtues that the jinas have perfected⁶³⁶
Are a numerous variety of supreme essences.⁶³⁷

“ ‘With a thousand⁶³⁸ tongues I could not describe
Even a little of the qualities of a single jina,
Let alone the qualities of all the jinas.
For just a single quality there would be a vast teaching.⁶³⁹

“ ‘If the world and its paradises became an ocean
And up to the summit of existence became filled with water,
It would be possible to measure that with the tip of a hair,
But one could not measure a single quality of the sugatas.

“ ‘Whatever supreme results of merit I have accumulated
Through all my teaching, praises, and offerings⁶⁴⁰
With faith, and with my body, speech, and mind,⁶⁴¹
Through that may beings attain buddhahood.’⁶⁴²

“The king thus praised the Buddha,
And then the king made this prayer:⁶⁴³
‘Wherever I am reborn,⁶⁴⁴
Throughout endless future eons,

“ ‘May I see a dream of such a drum;⁶⁴⁵
There, may I hear this kind of confession;
And may I obtain in those hundreds of lifetimes
A praise of the jinas like this Source of Lotuses.⁶⁴⁶

“ ‘May I hear in a dream of those
Infinite, unequaled qualities of the buddhas,⁶⁴⁷
Which are rare even in a thousand⁶⁴⁸ eons,
And then teach them in the day.⁶⁴⁹

“ ‘May I free beings from the ocean of suffering.
May I complete the six perfections
And afterward attain the highest enlightenment,
And may I attain a realm without equal.⁶⁵⁰

“ ‘Through the ripened result of offering a drum,
And through the cause that is praising the jinas,⁶⁵¹
