祠大最為首　詩頌亦為首
王為人中首　眾流海為首
眾星月為首　光明日為首
上下及四方　諸所生品物
天上及世間　佛最無有上
欲求種德者　當求於三佛

'Sacrifice is the foremost of great things, / Poetry and praise are also foremost, / A king is foremost among human beings, / The sea is foremost among the flowing waters, / The moon is foremost among the stars, / The sun is foremost among radiant lights. / Above, below, and in the four directions, / Among all the categories of things that are produced, / In the heavens and in the world, / The Buddha is supremely without superior. / Those who wish to seek to plant virtues / Should seek them in the Threefold Buddha.'
