They get rid of the myriad things they possess, Their purity being like the lotus blossom that does not get dirtied.
They go, come, advance, and stop like a boat among waves. They blessed and peaceful because they endevour to depart from ”yes” and ”no”.
That being done, it is just as emptiness cuts away the two ideas [5]. Just so, their wisdom blazes, lighting the long night [6].

Shakyamuni”s unobstructed skill in discourse Established the provisions leading to the display of a small portion.
Most valuable are the mendicants, comparible to Gods, Gods who themselves are comparable to gold-wheel kings [9].
Thus it is sequentially through the six heavens, Each in turn having characteristics and appearances like the first.
