9.25

須彌比芥子 過天龍王變
日月禮勞耶 慧德豈禮敬
三千界自歸 芥子比須彌
牛跡比大海 上尊喻日月
若能禮其尊 功福不可計
各各得安隱 德豐無限量

“Sumeru compared to a mustard seed, / Surpassing the transformations of deva and nāga kings.
The sun and moon bow down in weariness; / How could wisdom and virtue pay homage to them?
The trichiliocosm takes refuge of itself. / A mustard seed compared to Sumeru,
A cow's footprint compared to the great sea; / The Supreme Honored One is likened to the sun and moon.
If one can pay homage to this Honored One, / The merit and blessing are beyond reckoning.
Each obtains peace and serenity, / Their virtue abundant without measure.”
