### [9.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.9.25)

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.”
