### [38.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.38.22)

遺身八萬塔　寶飾高百丈  
儀鳳異靈烏　金盤代仙掌  
積栱承雕角　高簷挂樹網  
寶地若池沙　風鈴如積響  
刻削生千變　丹青圖萬像  
煙霞時出沒　神仙乍來往  
晨霧半層生　飛幡接雲上  
游蜺不敢息　翔鵾詎能仰  
聖變無窮瑞　感福豈三兩  
願假舟航末　彼岸誰為廣

> Eighty thousand stūpas of his relic-body,  
> Adorned with jewels, rising a hundred fathoms high.  
> The phoenix figures differ from spiritual crows;  
> The golden discs replace the immortal's dew-basins.  
> Stacked brackets support carved corners;  
> High eaves hang draped with tree-nets.  
> The jewelled ground is like pond sand;  
> The wind-bells chime like clustered resonances.  
> Carving and chiselling bring forth a thousand wonders;  
> Pigments and paints depict ten thousand forms.  
> Mists and rosiness emerge and vanish from time to time;  
> Spirits and immortals come and go in a flash.  
> Morning fog rises at the middle storeys;  
> Flying banners reach up to touch the clouds.  
> The soaring rainbow dare not pause;  
> How could the wheeling kun-bird look up to its heights?  
> Holy transformations display endless auspicious signs;  
> How could the evoked blessings be merely few?  
> May I board this raft of salvation;  
> Who can say that the other shore is distant?
