Translation

(continues from A 315 and 316)

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).
a5He 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).
a6Being 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
a7as 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;
b3at 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).
b7They, too, in exactly the same way, released rays,
b7+and at the end of these rays etc., too, decorated with the marks ([and] adorned with the 80 lovely decorations, (Buddha-gods) became visible.
b8Accordingly (?), in the endless system of worlds, among [inhabitants of] hell, animals [and] hungry ghosts, among (gods) [and] humans ...

Commentary

Remarks

Transcription and references have been transferred from the "Text and Reference Database of the Tocharian A Language" (Gerd Carling Lund University) (funded by the Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation and SCAS).
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.
n1This tune has 4x18 syllables, rhythm 7/7/4.

Linguistic commentary

n2es lyukrā särki 'accordingly(?)': alternatively, Couvreur 1954b: 260 tentatively suggests 'at first, initially, first of all' (lit. 'in a row of shoulders'), cf. TB tot yke-postäṃ.
