觀彌勒上生兜率天經贊 2.60

2.60

時諸垣中有八色瑠璃渠，一一渠有五百億寶珠而用合成，一一渠中有八味水八色具足，其水上涌繞梁棟間，於四門外化生四華。水出華中如寶華流，一一華上有二十四天女，身色微妙如諸菩薩莊嚴身相，手中自然化五百億寶器，一一器中天諸甘露自然盈滿。左肩荷佩無量瓔珞，右肩復負無量樂器，如雲住空從水而出，讚歎菩薩大波羅蜜。

At that time, within the walls, there were eight-coloured lapis lazuli channels. Each channel was formed jointly of fifty billion jewel beads. In each channel there was eight-flavored water, complete with all eight colours. The water surged upward, winding around the beams and rafters, and outside the four gates it manifested four flowers by transformation. The water came forth from within the flowers like a flow of jeweled blossoms. Upon each flower were twenty-four heavenly maidens, their physical appearance wondrously sublime like the adorned physical marks of bodhisattvas. In their hands, fifty billion jeweled vessels were spontaneously transformed, each vessel spontaneously brimming with heavenly amṛta. Upon their left shoulders they bore countless necklaces, and upon their right shoulders they moreover carried countless musical instruments; like clouds hovering in the sky, they came forth from the water, praising the Bodhisattva's great pāramitās.
