white lotus of a man,
Who is fragrant with the scent of merit!
Homage to you, O lotus of a man,
Who purifies the mire of the three types of existence!

“Homage to you, O liberated one,
Who delivers from all pain!
Homage to you, the tranquil one

“Homage to you, the accomplished one
Who fulfills the purpose of all mantra practice!
Homage to you, the auspicious one,
The most auspicious among all auspicious!

“Homage to you, the awakened one
Who awakens others to the complete truth of the Dharma!
Homage to you, the tathāgata,
The one who abides in and teaches
The suchness of all phenomena,
Which is devoid of conceptual elaboration!

“Homage to the omniscient one who is established, and is establishing others, in nirvāṇa and in the path of the three vehicles that encompasses all consciousnesses and all knowable objects, both conditioned and unconditioned!”
