次下四行是第四段重頌前事。「今奉世尊此微蓋」者,頌已向前獻蓋事也。「於中現我三千界」者,頌前遍覆三千世界廣長悉現。「諸天龍神所居宮」等,頌前天宮龍神等宮悉現蓋中。「悉現世間諸所有」者,頌前須彌鐵圍山等。「十力哀現是化變」者,頌荷佛恩。佛具十力將德已呼名為十力,由十力尊哀愍我等現此化變。「眾覩希有皆歎佛」者,頌前大眾覩佛神力歎未曾有。「今稽首三千界尊」者,結己歸敬。
Next, the four lines below are the fourth section, restating the previous events in verse. "Now we offer the World-Honoured One this slight canopy": this versifies the previous act of presenting the canopy. "Within which is manifested our trichiliocosm": this versifies how it completely covered the trichiliocosm and revealed its entire expanse. "The palaces inhabited by the devas, nāgas, and spirits" and so forth: this versifies how the heavenly palaces and palaces of the nāgas, spirits, and so forth were all manifested within the canopy. "All that exists in the world is fully manifested": this versifies Mount Sumeru, the Iron Encircling Mountains, and so forth from before. "The Ten Powers in pity manifested these transformations": this versifies gratitude for the Buddha's kindness. The Buddha is endowed with the ten powers; addressing him by his virtue, he is named the Ten Powers; it was because the Honored One of the Ten Powers pitied us that he manifested these transformations. "The assembly, beholding what is rare, all praised the Buddha": this versifies the great assembly beholding the Buddha's supernatural powers and praising them as unprecedented. "Now I bow my head to the Honored One of the trichiliocosm": concluding with his own taking refuge and paying homage.
