### [40.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.40.18)

金軀遺散骨　寶塔遍天龍  
創開一十塔　終成八萬重  
珠蓋靈光變　剎柱吐芙蓉  
屢開朝霧露　數示曉靈蹤  
紅霓相映發　風搖響和鍾  
仙鸞往往見　神僧數數從  
獨超群聖上　含識普生恭  
砧椎擊不碎　方知聖德顒

> The golden body left dispersed bones; / Precious stūpas pervaded gods and dragons. / Initiated by opening ten stūpas, / They eventually became eighty thousand tiers. / From the pearl canopy, miraculous light transforms; / The mast pillar shoots forth lotuses. / Often parted the morning mists and dews; / Repeatedly displayed divine traces at dawn. / Red rainbows mutually shine and flare; / Wind shakes, chiming with bells in harmony. / Immortal phoenixes are observed from time to time; / Miraculous monks follow repeatedly. / Solitarily surpassing all the multitude of sages; / All sentient beings universally give rise to reverence. / Unbroken though struck by anvil and mallet, / Only then is known the majestic reverence of sage-like virtue.
