昔吾行願從定光　受莂為佛釋迦文
怒畏想盡故斯坐　意定必解壞汝軍
我所奉事諸佛多　財寶衣食常施人
仁戒積德厚於地　是以脫想無患難
菩薩即以智慧力　伸手按地是知我
應時普地轉大動　魔與官屬顛倒墮
魔王敗績悵失利　昏迷却踞前畫地
其子又曉心乃寤　即時自歸前悔過
吾已不復用兵器　等行慈心却魔怨
世有兵器動人心　而我已等汝眾生
若調象馬雖已調　然後故態會復生
若得最調如佛性　以如佛調無不仁
姟天見佛擒魔眾　忍調無想怨自降
諸天歡喜奉華臻　非法王壞法王勝
本從等意智慧力　慧能即時禳不祥
能使怨家為子弟　當禮四等道之證
面如滿月色從容　名聞十方德如山
求佛相貌難得比　當稽首斯度世仙

"In the past, I cultivated vows under Dīpaṃkara, / receiving prediction to become the Buddha Śākyamuni. / Thoughts of wrath and fear were exhausted, hence I sit here; / with mind settled, I will surely be liberated and destroy your army. / The Buddhas I have served are numerous; / wealth, clothing, and food I have constantly given to others. / Benevolence, precepts, and accumulated virtue are thicker than the earth; / therefore, having cast off mental concepts, I am without hardship." / The Bodhisattva then, by the power of wisdom, / stretched forth his hand and pressed the earth: "This knows me." / Instantly the whole earth shook violently, / and Māra and his retinue tumbled and fell. / The Māra king was defeated, crestfallen at his loss; / dazed and stupified, he sat back and drew on the ground. / His sons persuaded him, and his mind awoke; / he immediately took refuge and came forward to repent: / "I no longer use weapons of war, / practicing equanimity and compassion to dispel Māra's enmity. / In the world there are weapons of war that agitate the minds of people, / but I look upon your sentient beings with equanimity. / Though elephants and horses may be tamed, / their former habits will inevitably resurface; / but if one attains supreme taming like the Buddha-nature, / being tamed like a Buddha, none are not benevolent." / A hundred billion devas saw the Buddha capture Māra's hosts; / through forbearance, taming, and non-conception, the enemies surrendered of themselves. / The devas rejoiced and presented flowers; / the unrighteous king was destroyed, and the Dharma King was victorious. / From the original mind of equanimity and power of wisdom, / wisdom can immediately avert misfortune; / it can make enemies into disciples; / one should pay homage to the four immeasurables, the witnesses of the path! / His face is like the full moon, his countenance leisurely; / his fame is heard in the ten directions, his virtue like a mountain. / Seeking the marks of a Buddha, they are difficult to match; / one should bow one's head to this sage who delivers the world.
