Translation
(continues from A 24)
| a1 | ... in just such lineage as Buddha (by the name of Śākyamuni). May my father be the king by the name of Śuddhodana, my mother |
|---|---|
| a1+ | Mahāmāyā by name, (my spouse) Yaśodharā (?) by name, my son Rāhula by name, Ānanda my servant, Śāriputra [and] Maudgalyāyana shall be the nobles pair of my pupils. |
| a3 | With a love)ly voice the Buddha, the master, says: stand up, stand up, [my] son, |
| a3+ | you (certainly,) afterwards in the life of men [lasting] (120) years, will be the Tathāgata Śākyamuni, the Arhat, the Buddha truly knowing all dharmas together. As you have wished, so indeed it shall be. |
| a6 | ... You will appear as refuge and protection of the world. |
| a6+ | Immediately after these words the earth quaked, ... |
| b1 | || In the D.-tune: || Flowers were raining from the airspace ... |
| b2 | ... divine music could be heard, divine radiance flamed, |
| b2+ | and a divine (voice) could be heard: |
| b3 | (provided with) protection this world is now, and also in the lineage coming alive, by Śākyamuni-Buddhas. |
| b4 | On the earth (and in the airspace all) beings made a vow to Bṛhaddyuti: your wish may be fulfilled, |
| b5 | you shall not despond through suffering. (You will be the protection) and shelter of the world, as the Buddha named Śākyamuni. |
| b6 | Thereupon, Bṛhaddyuti’s father, mother, wife and children... |
Other
| a6 | You will appear as help and stay of the world. (cf 29) (Peyrot 2013c: 227) |
|---|---|
| b2 | Himmlische Musik war zu hören, es flammten himmlische Strahlen auf. (Schmidt 1974: 119) |
| b4 | Auf der Erde [und] (im Luftraum) wünschten alle Wesen dem Bṛhaddyuti: "Möge dein Wunsch in Erfüllung gehen, ..." (Schmidt 1974: 480) |
