天地自在者　今當為汝說
此非沈水香　復非華葉莖
旃檀等諸香　和合能出是
我生希有心　而作如是言
由昔讚迦葉　便獲如是香
彼佛時已合　與新香無異
晝夜常有香　未曾有斷絕

'Sovereign of heaven and earth, / I shall now explain it to you: / This is not agallochum incense, / Nor is it flowers, leaves, or stems. / Nor is it that candana and other various incenses / Combined could produce this. / I gave rise to a mind of rare wonder / And made such a declaration: / Due to praising Kāśyapa in the past, / I then obtained such fragrance. / At the time of that Buddha it was already compounded, / Yet it is no different from fresh incense. / Day and night there is always fragrance, / Without ever ceasing.'
