聞鍾臥不起　護塔善神瞋
現在緣果薄　來報受蛇身
所在聞鍾聲　臥者必須起
合掌發善心　賢聖皆歡喜
洪鍾震響覺群生　聲遍十方無量土
含識群生普聞知　拔除眾生長夜苦
六識常昏終夜苦　無明被覆久迷情
晝夜聞鍾開覺寤　怡神淨剎得神通

Hearing the bell yet lying down and not rising,
The good deities guarding the stūpa will become angry.
In the present life one's conditions and fruits will be meager;
As future retribution one will receive a serpent's body.
Wherever the sound of the bell is heard,
Those lying down must arise,
Join their palms, and generate a good mind;
Then the worthy and noble ones will all rejoice.

The great bell resonates, awakening the multitude of beings;
Its sound pervades the immeasurable lands of the ten directions.
All sentient beings hear and know it universally,
Uprooting the suffering of sentient beings' long night.
The six consciousnesses are ever muddled in suffering through the long night;
Covered by ignorance, the sentiments have long been deluded.
Day and night hearing the bell, they awaken to realization,
Soothing the spirit in pure lands to attain spiritual penetrations.
