皇帝體至道而揚盛烈。亶聰明而作元后。十地斯在俯應人王。八福是生允歸世主。玄覽無際眇塵劫之初。寂照所通該宇合之外。屈此無為示同有學。檀忍兼修禪慧雙舉。超國城而大捨。既等王宮之時。量珍寶於四天。又同轉輪之日輕之。若鴻毛。去之如脫屣。故以道駕皇王。事高方冊。若非蘊生知之上德。蓄機神於懷抱。洞比三明齊功二智。孰能與於此者哉。金字摩訶般若波羅蜜經者。蓋法部之為尊。乃圓聖之極教。開宗以無相明本。發軫與究竟同流。奧義雲霏深文海富。前世學人鮮能堪受。

The Emperor embodies the ultimate Way and glorifies grand achievements. Truly intelligent, he acts as the primal sovereign. Residing in the ten stages, he condescends to respond as a king among men; giving rise to the eight fields of blessings, he fittingly returns as the lord of the world. His profound vision is boundless, peering back into the beginning of dusty kalpas; his quiescent illumination is all-penetrating, encompassing beyond the cosmos. Bending this asaṃskṛta state, he displays conformity with those in training; cultivating both giving and patience, he lifts up both dhyāna and wisdom. Surpassing cities and kingdoms in his great renunciation, he equals the time when [the Buddha left] the royal palace; assessing rare treasures across the four heavens, he is identical to the days of a cakravartin, deeming them light as wild-goose down and casting them off like worn shoes. Thus, in the Way he surpasses emperors and kings, and his deeds stand high in the square registers of history. If one did not possess the superior virtue of innate knowledge and cherish spiritual capacity in one's bosom, thoroughly matching the three vidyās and equalling the functions of the two wisdoms, who could attain to this? As for the Golden-Lettered Mahāprajñāpāramitā Sūtra, it is the most revered of the Dharma divisions and the consummate teaching of the perfect sage. It establishes its tenet upon signlessness to clarify the root; it sets out on its course to merge with the ultimate. Its profound meanings billow like clouds, and its deep expressions are rich as the sea. Scholars of previous generations were seldom able to bear and receive it.
