> the four vapors blended in fragrance. > Directions gathered according to kind; > things separated into their classes. > Pervading the worthy and pervading the holy, > illustrious rulers and enlightened sovereigns > set up teachings in response to capacities, > observed transformation and handed down writings. > Once musical odes were created, > rites and proper deportment were first regulated, > fixing who was kin and who was distant, > resolving doubts and blockages. > Unrolling charts, they distinguished things; > composing words, they clarified principles. > Yet these only transformed a single lifetime > and did not discuss the three periods of time. > The jade slips of the Dark Capital, > the silver scriptures of the Purple Court, > corpse-liberation leaving behind bones, > drinking fluids and swallowing essences: > riding dragons for ten thousand eras, > guiding cranes for a thousand years— > in the end these are not the real mark \[of reality\]; > they are still passions of the dust. > There is only the Great Hero, > placidly ever-abiding, > neither arising nor ceasing, > neither coming nor going. > The wondrous tenets of a thousand gateways > he expounded and illustrated with a single sound, > delivering sentient beings > at the twin trees of nirvāṇa. > In dreams he connected with Empress Liu; > in resonance he answered the King of the Ji. > The fixed stars hid their radiance; > the full moon clarified its light. > His form was depicted in the eastern realm; > saints were pointed out in the western quarter. > A vast sea of compassionate vows, > a ferry-bridge of the Sugata. > Faxian returned to the Jin; > Kāśyapa Mātanga entered Luoyang. > Flowers scattered across the scripture terraces; > incense flowed through the icon pavilions. > The teaching of the Śākya flourished aloft; > sangha monks arose in abundance. > Dew glistened on pearl banners; > wind hummed through jewelled bells. > In the Zhenjun and Jiande eras, > destiny met with the destruction of the Way: > sinking and losing the four modes of birth, > destroying and eradicating the Three Jewels. > Our August Emperor initiated the sacred \[rule\]; > his virtue equals the azure sky. > The wondrous Dharma was promulgated anew; > true images were remade. > The Chen clan usurped the title; > the Emperor's wrath launched this campaign. > The mists of Gouwu were rolled up; > Min and Yue were cleared and purified. > Thereupon meeting the Wise One (Zhizhe), > \[the Prince\] invited and received him at the mountain courtyard: > a pearl produced floating on the Han, > jade coming forth from the depths of Jing. > The flower peak towers high and sheer; > the rock cave hangs deep and precipitous. > Fragrant is the chrysanthemum shore; > trickling is the jade spring. > Winding like a valley, > covering ridges resembling a boat, > he arrived and assumed the seat of meditation; > wherever he stepped, all was quiet and serene. > Wondrously discerning the \[four\] siddhāntas, > deeply plumbing prajñā, > clergy and laity gathered like clouds, > drinking from the torrent of his river. > Some donated timber; > some contributed tiles. > Not days after beginning the work, > it turned into a great mansion. > Again he raised a Dragon Palace; > once more opened the Deer Park. > The mountain connects to the Purple Canopy; > the river embraces the Yellow Ox. > To the west it overlooks the Moon Gorge; > to the east it borders the Zhao Mound. > Sandalwood trees encircle it; > jade and beryl ring it round. > Spring casements and summer windows; > water pavilions and mountain towers. > The seats burst forth like lotuses; > from the shrines hang stone mirrors. > With the fine mark of the white curl (ūrṇā), > his indigo hair shines brightly. > Silver swallows hover about; > brocade-scaled fish swim freely. > The leaping monkey's mind grows still; > the frightened pigeon's shadow is calmed. > Splendid indeed is the wise prince, > appointed by fate as an imperial bulwark! > Endowed with virtue from Heaven, > he upholds both filial piety and sincere devotion. > Neither Dan \[of Zhou\] nor Shi \[of Shao\] are his equals; > how could Huo \[Guang\] or Zhang \[Ping\] be compared to him? > Abroad, he coordinates harnessed teams; > at home, he harmonizes the cauldrons of state. > Constructing this saṅghārāma > truly relied on his earnest request. > Demonic palaces loom high; > Mount Sumeru stands densely grouped. > In an instant one sees the end of the kalpa; > in a moment one watches it burned away. > How could it compare to the other shore, > where birth and death are both transcended? > Metal and stone do not decay; > Heaven and Earth may come to an end. > Carving and engraving this rock recess, > we hand down forever this magnificent achievement. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1934.4.17) - [Next: 4.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1934.4.19) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1934.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1934~en-mt.4.18) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1934.4.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1934.4.18) · Pramāṇa
