20.88

“Hearing the bell and lying down without rising, / The good deities who protect the stūpa will be angered; / In the present, one’s conditions and fruits will be meager, / And in future retribution one will receive the body of a serpent. / Wherever one hears the sound of the bell, / Whoever is lying down must arise; / Joining the palms and generating a good mind, / The worthy and noble ones will all rejoice. / The great bell's reverberations awaken all living beings; / Its sound pervades the immeasurable lands of the ten directions. / Sentient creatures all hear and know it; / It uproots the long-night suffering of living beings. / The six consciousnesses are ever muddled in end-of-night suffering; / Shrouded in avidyā, the passions have long been bewildered. / Hearing the bell day and night, awaken and understand; / Joyous in spirit in the pure land, one attains spiritual superknowledges.”
