Translation

a1... may ... the bodies ... spread (?) for me at the feet of all Buddhas;
a1+may the lotuses of the heart bit by bit become manifest to me in the whole saṃsāra;
a2+may therefore the help and stays appear,
a3so that the horror of my heart disappears;
a3+may this vow of the good not be cut off for me and all saṃsāra beings!

Other

a1Die ... Körper aller Buddhas möchten sich zu meinen Füßen hinbreiten. (Schmidt 1974: 276)
a1+The five skandhas … (Peyrot 2013b: 358)
a3+Diese Heilszucht möge mir samt allen Saṃsāra-Wesen nicht abgeschnitten werden. (Schmidt 1974: 208)
b1+Alle Trug[bilder], die ich früher aus Freude daran im Herzen trug, ... (Schmidt 1974: 364, fn. 7)
