6.69

大千國土 佛為特尊 次有迦葉
能閉罪門 昔在閻浮 糞窟之前
為其貧母 開說真言 時母歡喜
貢上米潘 施如芥子 獲報如山
自致天女 封受自然 是故來下
歸命福田

'In the chiliocosm,
The Buddha is exceptionally honored;
Next is Kāśyapa,
Who can close the gates of sin.
Formerly in Jambudvīpa,
Before the cave in the dunghill,
For the sake of that poor mother,
He expounded true words.
Then the mother rejoiced,
And presented rice-water;
An offering like a mustard seed,
Yielded retribution like a mountain.
Bringing about my own birth as a heavenly maiden,
Receiving natural endowments;
Therefore I have descended,
To take refuge in the field of merit.'
