偈有十一。初中,諸龍有四熱惱,名熾然苦,今並有治。一金翅所食苦,初句為治,以觀佛法同三歸故;二行欲時復本身苦、三鱗甲細蟲苦,並第二句為治,學佛等利故;四熱砂著身苦,後二句為治。以不堪蟲癢熱砂中𩥇,今大悲哀愍故能治之。有說四苦無鱗甲細蟲,而有風吹寶衣露身之苦,亦以第二句治之。就龍且說龍趣,末句約佛通拔畏塗。二中,此就佛論示現,前約龍云能轉。又前一念時促,今一毛處小,二文影略。餘九可知。但第五偈即前所脫。

There are eleven verses.
In the first, dragons have four afflictions of fever, called the suffering of blazing burning, all of which are now cured. 1. The suffering of being eaten by garuḍas: the first line is the cure, by contemplating the Buddha-dharma as identical to the three refuges; 2. the suffering of reverting to their original body during sexual union, and 3. the suffering of minute parasites in their scales: both are cured by the second line, through learning the Buddha's equal benefit; 4. the suffering of hot sand adhering to the body: the last two lines are the cure. Unable to bear the itching of the parasites, they roll in hot sand; now, great compassion and pity are able to cure this. Some say that among the four sufferings there is no suffering of minute parasites in the scales, but rather the suffering of wind blowing away their jewel robes to expose their bodies; this is also cured by the second line. In terms of dragons, it speaks for now of the dragon destiny; the final line, regarding the Buddha, universally pulls them out of terrifying paths.
In the second, this discusses manifestation in terms of the Buddha; earlier it said that the dragon can turn it. Moreover, previously a single thought was brief in time, whereas here a single pore is small in space; the two texts mutually reflect and abbreviate. The remaining nine are self-evident. But the fifth verse is what was omitted earlier.
