「作是諫時,菩薩復以白毫光擬,令魔眷屬身心安樂,譬如比丘入第三禪。餓鬼見白毛,毛端皆有百千萬億諸大菩薩,是諸菩薩亦入勝意慈心三昧,各以右手將左指頭,爪端生乳灑滅猛火,猛火滅已即得清涼,自然飽滿身心踊悅,發菩提心,因是心故捨餓鬼苦。是諸鬼等自見其身,如似白玉,似瑠璃山、似頗梨山、似黃金山、似馬瑙山、身諸毛孔似真珠貫,眼目明淨似明月珠,身諸烟焰如雜寶雲,所執刀杖似七寶臺,七寶臺內重鋪綩綖安置丹枕,左右自然有化梵王。見化菩薩坐於花臺,各各異說諸罪人報:『汝等前世坐作惡業故,獲如此可惡之形。』說是語時,是諸鬼神有發無上菩提心者;有種聲聞辟支佛因緣者;有於來世當生人天勝樂處者。

"While he was giving this admonition, the Bodhisattva once again pointed the light of his white curl toward them, causing the demon's retinue to experience peace and bliss of body and mind, like a monk entering the third dhyāna. Hungry ghosts saw the white curl, and at the tip of each hair were hundreds of thousands of myriads of koṭis of great bodhisattvas. These bodhisattvas had also entered the samādhi of supreme loving-kindness; each took the tip of a left finger with his right hand, and from the tips of the nails milk was produced, which sprinkled and extinguished the raging fires. Once the raging fires were extinguished, they immediately gained cool refreshment, were spontaneously sated, and rejoiced with leap and bound in body and mind. They generated bodhicitta, and on account of this mind, they shed the suffering of hungry ghosts. These ghosts saw their own bodies to be like white jade, like mountains of lapis lazuli, like mountains of crystal, like mountains of gold, like mountains of agate; the pores of their bodies were like strings of real pearls, their eyes were clear and bright like moon-pearls, the smoke and flames of their bodies were like clouds of various jewels, and the swords and staves they held were like seven-jeweled terraces. Inside the seven-jeweled terraces were laid out multiple layers of fine rugs and red cushions, and to their left and right were transformation Brahma kings spontaneously present. They saw transformation bodhisattvas seated on flower terraces, each differently explaining the retributions of sinful people: 'Because in your previous lives you committed evil karma, you obtained such repulsive forms.' As these words were spoken, among these ghosts and spirits there were those who generated the unsurpassed bodhicitta; there were those who planted the conditions for becoming śrāvakas or pratyekabuddhas; and there were those who were to be reborn in the superior, blissful realms of humans and gods in future lives.
