### [47.56](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.47.56)

自在本國時　遙聞大王德  
今來至於此　見尊踰所聞  
巍巍積功德　譬若如金山  
其力堅如是　無能動搖者  
今見王所行　於世甚無雙  
願以國相還　并奉所居界  
願歸得本土　修敬為臣禮  
不敢復憍慢　事王如天尊

> “While I was in my own state,  
> I heard from afar of the Great King’s virtues;  
> Now having come here,  
> I see that Your Honor exceeds all that was heard.  
> Lofty is your accumulated merit,  
> Resembling a golden mountain;  
> Its strength is firm like this,  
> Such that none can shake it.  
> Now seeing what the king has practiced,  
> It is truly peerless in the world.  
> I wish to return your kingdom to you,  
> And furthermore offer my own domain;  
> I wish to return to my original land,  
> To cultivate reverence and observe the etiquette of a vassal,  
> Never daring to be arrogant again,  
> Serving the king as a heavenly deity.”
