經律異相 2.37

2.37

‘If a man or woman
Bestows supreme, wonderful garments as gifts,
Due to the condition of giving garments,
What they are born into will be extraordinary.
Giving the most wonderful things one has,
One is born in heaven according to one's desires.
See me dwelling in palaces,
Travelling through the empty sky;
My heavenly body is like a heap of gold,
Excelling among a hundred devīs.
Contemplate such merit and virtue,
Foremost among all dedications!’
