a1(Oh what) maliciousness (of the Saṃsāra!) || In the Citraśoka-tune: || The world is miserable ... ... to their own Kleśas (and) deeds.
a1+(By chance thus) the Buddha-god Maitreya has appeared, the liberator from sufferings.
a2Why should I not leave from the house to Maitreya, the Buddha-god, following my father? 1. ||
a2+Thereupon this king Siṃha, son of the Cakravartin king Śaṅkha, anoints [his] eldest son Udrāyaṇa as king.
a3Having taken the diadem from his own head [and] having put it on Udrāyaṇa’s head, he says: || in the Hariṇapluta tune ||
a3+Receive the earth as a gift to watch over, which has come (to you) by inheritance, son!
a4Do not violate the rule laid down by your ancestors and fathers! Observe proper behavior, give gifts [and] carry out sacrifices! Pay homage to the good ones
a4+[and] punish the negligent ones (because of [their negligence of their] duties)!
a51.
a5+Thereupon the king Siṃha, together with 84,000 excellent beings, like the heavenly king, (receiving) ovations [and] blessings from countless creatures, moves out from the city (Ketumatī).
a6Where the Samantapuṣpa-monastery is, there he goes.
a6+Having arrived in the monastery, he sees the venerable Buddha Maitreya, adorned with [his] ornaments and Lakṣaṇas (on his splendid body). Being amazed he says:
a7Oh what a sight! Oh what virtue! Oh what splendour!
a7+As if a thousand suns, as if a thousand moons ... provided, had entirely risen, as if a crowd of a hundred thousand lightnings were placed in one row on the earth, as if there was a house with upper terrace all aglow, entirely consisting of jewels, as if ... [there] was a Pārijāta-tree, as if there was a mountain made of Jambūnada-gold, adorned with wish-gems, (also) glowing with rays, adorned with pleasure and glory: such is this body (endowed with Buddhahood of the Buddha) Maitreya.
b2|| In the Kutsmāt tune: || It [i.e. the Buddha's body] lets it rain loveliness, it produces brightness in thought. It makes joy and delight grow, drives away suffering and sorrow from the mind. It destroys dullness [i.e. absence of brightness], adorns [and] embellishes the own (self),
b2+the body endowed with Buddhahood, (which is to be) seen (without ever being satiated).
b31. || Oh what a wonderful thing!
b3+In the disc of the face of this Buddha-god Maitreya even Buddhas that have arisen earlier, adorned and embellished with the thirty-two L(akṣaṇas) can be seen clearly.
b4+To wit: The venerable Ratnaśikhin, Praṇāda, Śrīsambhava, Kauṇḍiṇya, Sudarśana, Sunetra, Dhṛtirāṣṭra, ..., Dīpaṅkara, Prabhaṅkara, Tamonuda, Siṃha, Mahendra, Aniruddha, Sūjāta, Candra, Sumana, (H)arīcit (?), Paramārthadarśin, Atyuttama, Uttara, Śreṣṭhin, Śamitāri, Aṅgīrasa, Bhāgīratha, Brahman, Brahmāyu, Brahmadatta, Indradana, Ratnaśaila, Sarvārthasādhana, Indradhvaja, Sarv(ābhibhū), Ratnadhuri, Padmottara, Yaśottara, Suvādin, Vimala, Prabodhana, Jitāri, Vāsiṣṭha, Jyotiketu, Ṛṣabha, Bharadvāja, Hitaiṣin, Arthadarśin, Vi(raja), (Tiṣ)ya, Puṣya, Vipaśyin, Śikhin, Viśvabhu, Krakasundi, (Kanakamuni, Kāśyapa, Śākyamuni): [These] Buddhas are clearly seen in the disc of his face. || ...

a3+Die durch [Erb]folge [auf dich] gekommene Erde nimm entgegen, um [sie] zu beherrschen, [mein] Sohn! Die von den Ahnen [und] Vätern aufgestellte Regel, die überschreite nicht! Bewahre die Sittenvorschrift, gib Gabe[n und] vollziehe Opfer! Bezeuge den Guten Verehrung [und] strafe die Pflichtvergessenen! (Schmidt 1974: 201, 404, 509)
a4Don't break the rule established by ancestors and fathers! (Peyrot 2013b: 242)
a7+Just as if thousand suns, as if thousand moons provided (with) … had arisen in one row, as if a mass of millions of lightnings were standing in one row on the earth, as if there were an upper apartment of fully glowing jewels, as if there were a … Pārijāta tree, as if there were a mountain of Jāmbūnada gold, adorned with cintāmaṇi jewels, also adorned with glowing rays, [and] with pleasure and dignity— so [is] the (Buddha rank) body of the (Buddha) Maitreya. (cf 53, 56) (Peyrot 2013b: 652)
b2Er [scil. der buddhaschaftliche Körper] lässt Schönheit regnen, er erzeugt im Geiste Glanz, er lässt Sehnsucht [und] Freude wachsen, er vertreibt Schmerz [und] Kummer aus dem Gemüt, er vernichtet die Glanzlosigkeit, er schmückt [und] ziert (das) eigene (Selbst) [= einen]. (Schmidt 1974: 126, 311-2, 421, 509-10)
b3+Auf der Gesichtsscheibe dieses Buddha Maitreya werden auch die früher aufgestandenen Buddhas, mit den 32 L(akṣaṇas geschmückt [und]) geziert, deutlich gesehen. (Schmidt 1974: 232)

Philological commentary

n1There is a gap of about 25 syllables in the middle of this line (Geng et al. 2004a: 53); the tune Citraśoka has a strophe 4x17 syllables, rhythm 6/6/5 (Geng et al. 2004a: 55, fn. 120).
n2The tune Hariṇapluta has a strophe of 4x12 syllables, rhythm 5/7 (Geng et al. 2004a: 50, fn. 212).
