王聞偈已。歡喜踊躍。今為法故以身為燈。不求世榮。亦不求二乘之證。持是功德願求無上正真之道。發是願已。即時大千世界六種震動。身灸千燈。一切諸天帝釋梵王輪王等。皆來慰問。身灸千燈得無痛耶。頗有悔耶。王答天帝。不以為痛。亦無悔恨。若無悔恨以何為證。王便誓言。而我千燈用求無上之道。審當成佛者諸瘡即愈。作是語已。身即平復無有瘡瘢。帝釋諸天王臣眷屬無量庶民。異口同音悉讚歡喜。皆行十善。

When the king heard the verse, he leaped with joy: 'Now for the sake of the Dharma I make lamps of my body, seeking neither worldly glory nor the realization of the two vehicles; by means of this merit I vow to seek the unsurpassed, truly genuine Way.' Once he made this vow, the trichiliocosm immediately shook in six ways. With a thousand lamps burning on his body, all the devas, Śakra, the Brahmā kings, cakravartins, and others came to comfort and ask him: 'With a thousand lamps burning on your body, can it be that there is no pain? Do you have any regret?' The king answered the Lord of the Devas, 'I do not consider it painful, nor do I have any regret.' 'If you have no regret, what proof is there?' The king then made a vow: 'As I have used a thousand lamps to seek the unsurpassed Way, if it is certain that I shall become a Buddha, let all wounds immediately heal!' Having spoken these words, his body was immediately restored to wholeness without wound or scar. Śakra, all the devas, kings, ministers, retinues, and countless common people, with one voice all praised him with joy and practiced the ten good deeds."
