The Buddha said: "The dānapati So-and-so, taking pity on living beings, on parents of seven lifetimes, and on male and female kin within and without who are sunken in the ocean of saṃsāra without rescue, unable to extricate themselves and sunken in the three wretched realms, has therefore curtailed his own share of sustenance for body and mouth to make this Dharma robe and reverently offer it to the venerable monk, thereby seeking boundless, supreme blessings. May the awe-inspiring spiritual power of the Unsurpassed Venerable One protect him; may So-and-so be adorned with the thirty-two marks on his body, attain exceptional merit, gain great fame, and by means of this pure giving ferry sentient beings across extensively. May the devas, nāgas, ghosts, spirits, humans, and non-humans throughout the ten directions all receive shelter and take refuge. May parents of seven lifetimes, the five kinds of kin, and karmic enemies and creditors all be liberated, already freed from worry and suffering. May the dānapati attain unhindered compassion, enter profound Dharma doors, realize supreme correct enlightenment, practice like a bodhisattva, attain the Way like a Buddha, and ferry all across extensively."
