He knows the minds of all beings, in every respect
And clarifies for them the pure truth:
This Adorned Topknot can comprehend.
Innumerable Buddha”s appear in the world,
Being fields of blessings for all sentient beings—
Their ocean of blessings is vast and immeasurably deep:
Sublime Eyes can see all of this.
All sentient beings suffer grief and fear—
Buddha”s appear everywhere to rescue them,
Extending everywhere through the space of the cosmos:
This is the sphere of Lamp Banner.
The virtues in a single pore of the Buddha
Cannot be assessed by all beings combined—
They are boundless, Infinite, the same as space:
Thus does vast light banner perceive.
The Buddha comprehends all things,
Is aware of the nature of all things,
Unshakable as the Polar Mountain:
Entering this approach to the truth is Lion Gut.
The Buddha in vast eons past
Amassed an ocean of joy, endlessly deep;
Therefore all who see him are glad:
This truth Adorned Sound has entered.
Realizing the real cosmos has no formal characteristics,
The ocean of transcendent ways completely fulfilled
His great light saves all sentient beings:
Mountain Gut knows this technique.
Observe the independent power of the Buddha
Appearing equally in the ten directions
Illuminating and Awakening all sentient beings:
This subtle light can well enter into.
Furthermore, the Kinnara King Heaven of Light of Refined Intellect found the door of Liberation universally producing all joyous actions. The Kinnara King Exquisite Flower Banner found the door of Liberation able to produce the unexcelled joy of truth and cause all beings to experience comfort and happiness. The Kinnara King Various Adornments found the door of Liberation of the vast store of pure faith replete with all virtues. The Kinnara King Pleasing Sound found the door of Liberation always producing all pleasing sounds, causing those who hear to be free from distress and fear. The Kinnara King Jewel Tree Light found the door of Liberation of compassionately establishing all sentient beings in enlightened understanding of mental objects. The Kinnara King Delight to the Beholder found the door of Liberation, manifesting all bodies of exquisite form. The Kinnara King Supreme Light Array found the door of Liberation knowing the works by which are produced all the most excellent adornments. The Kinnara King Subtle Flower Banner found the door of Liberation observing the results produced by the activities of all worlds. The Kinnara King Earth Shaking Power found the door of Liberation Always doing all things to benefit living beings. The Kinnara King Fierce Lord found the door of Liberation thoroughly knowing the minds of all Kinnara”s and skillfully controlling them.
At that time the Kinnara King Heaven of Light of Refined Intellect Imbued with the Power of the Buddha, looked over all the masses of Kinnaras and said in verse,
All the pleasant things in the world
Arise from seeing the Buddha.
The Guide benefits all living beings
Being the savior and refuge of all.
He produces all joys and delights
Which beings receive without end;
He causes all who see not to waste:
This is the enlightenment of Flower Banner.
The ocean of Buddhas virtue is inexhaustible;
No bounds or limits to it can be found.
Its light shines in all ten directions:
This is the liberation of Adornment King.
The Buddha”s great sound is always spoken
Showing the real true way out of distress.
All beings who hear it are happy and glad:
Pleasing sound is capable of believing this way.
I see the Buddhas sovereign powers
All stem from practices cultivated in the past;
