Formerly, there was \[a king of\] the country of Kalmāṣapāda…” onwards, the second \[part\] cites King Samantaprabhā as proof. The text has three \[parts\]: first, it explains the difficult situation; second, from “King Samantaprabhā addressed Kalmāṣapāda…” onwards, it explains cultivating merit relying on the sūtras, explaining the practice of protecting the country; third, from “At that time, the Dharma master…” onwards, \[it explains\] awakening and understanding upon hearing the Dharma. As for the first, the difficult situation, Kalmāṣapāda wished to destroy all kingdoms and take the heads of a thousand kings to sacrifice to the grave spirit; the text's meaning is manifest and readily understood. Within the second, explaining the practice of the Dharma, the text distinctly has three \[parts\]: first, it explains Samantaprabhā begging for a one-day reprieve, which Kalmāṣapāda then granted; second, from “At that time, Samantaprabhā…” onwards, he invites the Dharma masters to expound the Dharma; third, from “Its foremost Dharma master…” onwards, taking that single person, it explains his reciting the four verses on the extraordinary. The first two parts are manifest in textual meaning and can be known. Within the recitation of the verses there are eight verses, forming four \[topics\]: the first two verses speak of impermanence; the next two verses speak of suffering; the next two verses speak of emptiness; the next two verses speak of non-self. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1707.3.18) - [Next: 3.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1707.3.20) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1707.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1707~en-mt.3.19) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1707.3.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1707.3.19) · Pramāṇa
