| a1 | (Below the earth as far (?)) in the deep are (the inhabitants of the Avīci-hell (?).) (They too,) looking at the face of the god of gods, the Buddha, up close, (they obtained) an end of all sufferings. |
|---|---|
| a1+ | Just like (the gods from below upwards) [and] the inhabitants of hell saw the god of gods, the Buddha, very close, just so all the other gods [and] inhabitants of hell, each from the earths accorded to them, (from below upwards) [and] (very close) they saw the god of gods, the Buddha. |
| a3+ | Or also, just like Ānanda, sitting in front [of them] saw the Buddha, the master, just so from (all other) systems (of the world) the animals, hungry ghosts [and] humans, all saw the Buddha, the master, as if sitting in front [of them]. |
| a4 | || In the N.-tune: || |
| a4+ | ... or like in (all) hells (the inhabitants of hell). |
| a5 | He did not go into the four directions [and] they did not even go close to this monastery. |
| a5+ | And yet ... they all saw the Buddha, the master as if (close to them). |
| a6 | Being happy they forgot as it were, each and every one, their sorrow; with hands put together without blinking they saw ... |
| a6+ | ... having laid the right hand onto the (left) hand, he was sweet |
| a7 | as the thunderbolt in [his] lap, like the [surface of the] golden throne [of Indra], flat [and] broad-shouldered, |
| a7+ | like a sunshade of sapphire (was (?)) the blue-(coloured head-hair) |
| a8 | ... the face adorned with ūrṇā [and] brows, the facial expression (?) lovely [and] beautiful [and] yet extinguished. 2. Evenly surrounded by a golden ray a fathom [wide] (he was to be seen) closely (by everyone) |
| a8+ | ... all, however ... this 3.000 worlds all ... like ... without ... |
| b1+ | they [i.e., the rays (or flames?)] pulled out (?) |
| b2 | [and] made everything extinguish nearby [because of their brightness]. 3. |
| b2+ | Thereupon, from the 80,000 pores of the Buddha, the teacher, lovely beyond measure, excellent [and] shining 80,000 rays went out; |
| b3 | at the end of the rays 80,000 pools became visible, on the ponds sumeru-like seats of beryl (became visible;) |
| b4 | (on the seats) lotuses with 500 leaves (became visible), |
| b4+ | [and] on the filaments of the lotuses, decorated with the 32 marks [and] (adorned with) the 80 lovely (decorations), surrounded with (a retinue of arhats) 80 000 Buddha-gods became visible. |
| b5+ | Also (from the 80 000 pores) of all 80 000 arhats 80 000 rays became visible, |
| b6+ | and at the end of these rays in exactly the same way ponds, seats, lotuses ([and], on the filaments of the lotuses, Buddhas became visible). |
| b7 | They, too, in exactly the same way, released rays, and at the end of these rays etc., too, decorated with the marks ([and] adorned with the 80 lovely decorations, (Buddha-gods) became visible. |
| b8 | Accordingly (?), in the endless system of worlds, among [inhabitants of] hell, animals [and] hungry ghosts, among (gods) [and] humans ... |

Remarks

| Transcription and translation are based on Carling et al. 2009. | |
| This text immediately follows A 315 and 316 and is followed by A 320. |
Philological commentary
| The translation is largely based on Sieg, Übers. II: 30-31, and Carling, DThTA. | |
| n1 | This tune has 4x18 syllables, rhythm 7/7/4. |
Linguistic commentary
| n2 | es lyukrā särki 'accordingly(?)': alternatively, Couvreur 1954c: 260 tentatively suggests 'at first, initially, first of all' (lit. 'in a row of shoulders'), cf. TB tot yke-postäṃ. |
