Chapter 19: Praise by All Bodhisattvas

EN
Then those hundreds of thousands of bodhisattvas went to where the Tathāgata Suvarṇa­ratnākaracchatra­kūṭa was. When they arrived, they bowed down their heads to the feet of the Bhagavat Tathāgata Suvarṇa­ratnākaracchatra­kūṭa and arranged themselves to one side. Having arranged themselves to one side, those hundreds of thousands of bodhisattvas placed their palms together and praised the Tathāgata Suvarṇa­ratnākaracchatra­kūṭa with these verses:
EN
“The color of the Jina’s body is like refined gold; Your body is completely the color of gold, A golden color like a golden lord of mountains. You are a muni, a white lotus, the color of gold.
EN
“Your body is adorned by the excellent signs; Your body is beautified by the various excellent features. You are shining with beautiful golden light. You are stainless and peaceful like the lord of mountains.
EN
“You have Brahmā’s voice, the beautiful voice of Brahmā. You have the roar of a lion, a voice of resounding thunder. You have the voice with sixty qualities, a stainless voice. You have a jina’s voice, the peacock and the kalaviṅka’s sound.
EN
“You have completely stainless, immaculate, beautiful, bright light. You are a jina adorned by the signs of a hundred qualities. Your ocean of wisdom is stainless, perfectly free of stain. You are a jina like Sumeru, endowed with all qualities.
EN
“You have the supreme compassion for benefiting beings. You are the supreme bringer of happiness to the worlds. You are a jina who teaches the sublime meaning. You are a guide toward the bliss of nirvāṇa.
EN
“You bestow the bliss of deathlessness; You are a jina who teaches the Dharma of deathlessness; You are a guide for the city of deathlessness. You are the source of all happiness, the basis of happiness.
EN
“You are a jina who frees beings from suffering; You liberate beings from the ocean of suffering. You lead beings on the path to peace. You bestow all happiness upon beings.
EN
“There is no analogy that will serve for you. You are an ocean of wisdom with the qualities of all guides. You have the power, methods, and diligence Of compassion and love for all beings.
EN
“There is no one among beings, including devas, Who even in thousands of millions of eons Would be able to teach even one drop of the qualities From your ocean of wisdom and qualities.
EN
“I have taken a drop of qualities from the ocean of your qualities And in that way have taught a little of it briefly. Through whatever merit I have accumulated, May those beings reach the supreme enlightenment.”
