夫至覺玄湛本絕聲言。妙慮虛通固略筌象。雖事絕百非而有來斯應。理亡四句故無感不燭。皇上道照機前思超繫表。凝神汾水則心謝寰中。屈道軒丘則形勞宇內。斯乃法忍降迹。示現閻浮之境。大權住地俯應娑婆之域。故欲洗拔萬有度脫群生。濯淨水於寶池。蔭高枝於道樹。折伏攝受之仁遇緣而咸極。苦言軟語之德有感而斯唱。日用不知利益莫限。眾等相與增到。奉逮至尊五體歸命。云云。

Now, the Ultimate Awakening is mysterious and still, fundamentally severed from sound and speech; wondrous contemplation is open and unobstructed, firmly setting aside fish-traps and images. Although phenomena are severed from the hundred wrongs, whenever someone approaches, it responds; because principle is free of the four propositions, there is no sentiment it does not illuminate. The Emperor's Dao illuminates prior to triggers, his thought transcends beyond the bond. Concentrating his spirit at the Fen River, his mind disengages from the realm of the world; bending his path at the Mound of Xuan, his body toils within the realm. This is truly the descent of the Dharma-patience's traces, manifesting in the region of Jambudvīpa; the great provisional means abiding in the stages, condescending to respond to the Sahā realm. Thus he wishes to wash and uplift the myriad beings, delivering and freeing the multitudes; washing in the pure water of the jewelled pool, taking shade under the high branches of the Bodhi tree. The benevolence of subduing and embracing reaches the utmost as conditions are met; the virtue of bitter words and gentle speech proclaims forth as sentiments are moved. Though used daily without being known, its benefits are boundless. The assembly, together with increasing sincerity, on behalf of the Most Venerable, bows the five limbs and takes refuge, and so forth.
