3.59

Turbid are the three realms, surging are the four modes of birth;
All alike called a burning house, together styled the blind masses.
Darkened in this eternal night, in long slumber not yet awakened;
I casually compose this brief dedication to illuminate this obscurity.
Dharmākara's great vows were committed to widespread guidance;
Standing uniquely prominent is the pure realm, named Amitāyus.
Contemplation opens the sixteen [contemplations], rebirth returns to the nine [grades];
Their influence will long flourish, undying for a thousand ages.
