स्वयम्भू पुराण

Then that Blessed One again, looking upon Maitreya of great intellect
and upon the assembly, addressed them and instructed thus:

त्यसपछि फेरि ती भगवान्ले महामति मैत्रेय र
सभालाई हेर्दै, सम्बोधन गरी यस्तो उपदेश दिनुभयो:

Listen, Maitreya; I shall tell of the greatness of the Dharma and virtue
of Mañjuśrī, teacher of the world, which gives the knowledge of awakening.

सुन, हे मैत्रेय; म जगद्गुरु मञ्जुश्रीको
सद्धर्मगुणको माहात्म्य भन्नेछु, जसले संबोधिज्ञान दिन्छ।

This nun Cūḍā, of good conduct and a celibate practitioner,
has taken refuge with faith in this caitya of Mañjuśrī.

यी भिक्षुणी चूडा, सुशीला ब्रह्मचारिणी,
यो मञ्जुश्रीको चैत्यमा श्रद्धापूर्वक शरण लिएकी छन्।

Worshipping it always with garlands of pure blue lotuses according to the rule,
remembering, meditating and propitiating it with devotion and faith always,

शुद्ध उत्पलका माला चढाएर सधैँ विधिअनुसार पूजा गरी,
भक्ति र श्रद्धाले सधैँ स्मरण, ध्यान र आराधना गर्दै,

reciting always in her worship the nine-syllabled dhāraṇī,
the supreme spell beginning cale cule vande svāhā,

भजनमा सधैँ नौ अक्षरको धारणी,
'चले चुले वन्दे स्वाहा' भन्ने परम विद्या जप्दै,

by the power of this merit this true nun Cūḍā
shall surely gain the five higher knowledges in twelve years.

यस पुण्यको प्रभावले यी सती भिक्षुणी चूडाले,
निश्चय नै बाह्र वर्षमा पञ्चाभिज्ञा प्राप्त गर्नेछिन्।

Then she, of great higher knowledge, a vessel of glory, prosperity and virtue,
doing good to all beings, shall practise the vow of awakening.

त्यसपछि उनी महाभिज्ञ, श्री, समृद्धि र गुणकी आश्रय भई,
सबै प्राणीको हित गर्दै बोधिसंवर आचरण गर्नेछिन्।

Then, an Arhatī of great wisdom, her three spheres wholly pure,
attaining the threefold awakening, she shall reach the state of a Perfect Buddha.

त्यसपछि महाप्राज्ञ अर्हती भई, त्रिमण्डल पूर्ण शुद्ध भई,
त्रिविध बोधि प्राप्त गरेर सम्बुद्धपद पाउनेछिन्।

So too other people, at this caitya of Mañjuśrī,
reciting this dhāraṇī, worship it with faith always.

त्यसरी नै अन्य मानिसहरू पनि यो मञ्जुश्रीको चैत्यमा,
यो धारणी जप्दै सधैँ श्रद्धापूर्वक भजन गर्छन्।

They too, all of them free of stain, their three spheres wholly pure,
vessels of glory and virtue, become Bodhisattvas with their senses mastered,

तिनीहरू पनि सबै निष्कलंक, त्रिमण्डल पूर्ण शुद्ध भई,
भद्रश्री र सद्गुणका आधार, जितेन्द्रिय बोधिसत्त्व हुन्छन्,

attaining the station of the five higher knowledges, dwelling in the four Brahmavihāras,
bearers of the welfare of all beings, they practise the vow of awakening.

पञ्चाभिज्ञा पद प्राप्त गरी, चार ब्रह्मविहारमा विहार गर्दै,
सबै प्राणीको हितका आधार भई बोधिसंवर आचरण गर्छन्।

Then, fulfilling the accumulations for awakening in due order,
conquering all the hosts of Māra, free of defilement, their senses made clear,

त्यसपछि क्रमैसँग बोधिसम्भार पूरा गरी,
सबै मारगणलाई जितेर, निःक्लेश, विमल इन्द्रियका भई,

as Arhats of great higher knowledge, devoted to the accomplishing of awakening,
attaining the threefold awakening, they reach the state of a Perfect Buddha.

महाभिज्ञ अर्हत भई, संबोधिसाधनामा रत भई,
त्रिविध बोधि प्राप्त गरेर सम्बुद्धपद पाउँछन्।

Knowing that you too may do this, at the caitya of Mañjuśrī likewise
recite this dhāraṇī and worship, with your minds set on awakening.

तिमीहरूले पनि यो गर्न सक्छौ भनी जानेर, मञ्जुश्रीको चैत्यमा त्यसरी नै
यो धारणी जप्दै, बोधिमा चित्त राखी भजन गर।

Smeared with this merit, your three spheres wholly pure,
you too, all of you, shall become sons of the Sugata,

यस पुण्यले लिप्त भई, त्रिमण्डल पूर्ण शुद्ध भई,
तिमीहरू सबै पनि सुगतपुत्र हुनेछौ,

Bodhisattvas, vessels of glory and true virtue,
of great higher knowledge, protectors of the world; you shall walk the noble path.

बोधिसत्त्व, भद्रश्री र सद्गुणका आश्रय,
महाभिज्ञ, जगन्नाथ भई तिमीहरू भद्रचारी हुनेछौ।

Then, fulfilling the accumulations for awakening in due order,
conquering all the hosts of Māra, dwelling in the four Brahmavihāras,

त्यसपछि क्रमैसँग संबोधिसम्भार पूरा गरी,
सबै मारगणलाई जितेर, चार ब्रह्मविहारमा विहार गर्दै,

as Arhats, attaining the threefold awakening, you shall become Buddhas.
Knowing this truth, if you desire perfect awakening,

अर्हत भई, त्रिविध बोधि प्राप्त गरेर तिमीहरू बुद्ध हुनेछौ।
यो सत्य जानेर, यदि तिमीहरू सम्बोधि चाहन्छौ भने,

worship this caitya of Mañjuśrī always in joy.
Thus instructed by the Lord of Sages, hearing him, those with their companions,

यो मञ्जुश्रीको चैत्यको सधैँ हर्षपूर्वक भजन गर।
मुनीन्द्रले यसरी उपदेश दिनुभएपछि, त्यो सुनेर, सांघिकहरूसहित,

all the people, saying so be it, rejoiced and were awakened.
Then all those people, Brahmā, Śakra and the other immortals,

सबै मानिसले 'त्यस्तै होस्' भन्दै आनन्दित भई प्रबुद्ध भए।
त्यसपछि ती सबै मानिस, ब्रह्मा, शक्रलगायत अमरहरू,

and all the guardians of the worlds too, with their retinues, in joy,
made serene, bowed to that Blessed Lord of Sages with his community,

र सबै लोकाधिपहरू पनि परिजनसहित हर्षपूर्वक,
प्रसन्न भई, संघसहित ती भगवान् मुनीन्द्रलाई प्रणाम गरी,

circumambulated him and went joyfully each to his own dwelling.
All the mortals too, the kings and the rest, with ministers, people and citizens,

प्रदक्षिणा गरी हर्षपूर्वक आ-आफ्ना आलयमा गए।
सबै मर्त्यहरू पनि, राजा आदि, मन्त्री, जन र पौरिकसहित,

bowed to that Lord of Sages with his companions and went each to his own home.
And Hāritī the Yakṣiṇī too, with her children, protectress of Buddhists,

सांघिकसहित ती मुनीन्द्रलाई प्रणाम गरी आ-आफ्ना घर गए।
र बौद्धरक्षिका हारीती यक्षिणी पनि आफ्ना सन्तानसहित,

worshipped the Three Jewels and took refuge in the Dharmadhātu.
Then that Blessed One too, rising with his companions,

त्रिरत्नको भजन गरी धर्मधातुको आश्रय लिइन्।
त्यसपछि ती भगवान् पनि सांघिकहरूसहित उठेर,

lighting the world with his radiance, went to the hermitage of Jaṭodyāna.
There that Lord of the three worlds, in a monastery with his companions,

आफ्नो प्रभाले जगत्लाई प्रकाशित पार्दै जटोद्यान आश्रममा जानुभयो।
त्यहाँ ती त्रिजगन्नाथ विहारमा सांघिकहरूसहित,

teaching the true Dharma, dwelt for the welfare of the world.
Thus was it taught to you by my teacher, and as I heard it, so it is told.

सद्धर्मको उपदेश दिँदै जगत्को हितका लागि बस्नुभयो।
यसरी मेरा गुरुले उपदेश दिनुभयो, र मैले जसरी सुनेँ, त्यसरी नै भनिएको छ।

Hearing this too, great king, rejoice in it with faith.
Hearing this taught by that Arhat teacher, that lord of men,

यो पनि सुनेर, हे महाराज, श्रद्धापूर्वक अनुमोदन गर।
ती शास्ता अर्हतले दिनुभएको यो उपदेश सुनेर, ती नराधिप,

made serene, bowed to that Arhat and spoke thus with reverence:
Venerable one, I wish to behold that Self-Arisen One.

प्रसन्न भई ती अर्हतलाई प्रणाम गरी आदरपूर्वक यसो भने:
भदन्त, म त्यो स्वयम्भूको दर्शन गर्न चाहन्छु।

So I shall go to Nepāla; grant me your leave for that.
Thus entreated by the king, that Arhat ascetic, hearing him joyfully,

त्यसैले म नेपाल जान्छु; त्यसको अनुमति मलाई दिनुहोस्।
राजाले यसरी प्रार्थना गरेपछि, ती अर्हत यतिले हर्षपूर्वक सुनेर,

looking upon that king, that great being, instructed thus:
Very well, O king; if this is your wish, then to behold that Self-Arisen One

ती नृपति महासत्त्वलाई हेर्दै यस्तो उपदेश दिए:
साधु राजन्; यदि तिम्रो यस्तो इच्छा छ भने, त्यो स्वयम्भूको

go, and propitiating him, worship him with faith.
Bathing at all the fords and giving gifts as you wish,

दर्शन गर्न जाऊ, र आराधना गरी श्रद्धापूर्वक भजन गर।
सबै तीर्थमा स्नान गरी इच्छाअनुसार दान दिई,

propitiate the Vītarāgas and worship them with reverence;
and Dharmodayā, the great goddess Khagānanā, sovereign of the Jinas,

वीतरागहरूको आराधना गरी आदरपूर्वक भजन गर;
र धर्मोदया, महादेवी खगानना, जिनेश्वरीको,

take refuge in her with faith, worship her and honour her with reverence;
and the five deities established in the five cities, according to the rule,

श्रद्धापूर्वक शरण लिई, पूजा गरी आदरपूर्वक भजन गर;
र पाँच पुरमा स्थापित पाँच देवताको विधिअनुसार,

propitiate and worship them, and honour them with devotion and reverence;
and beholding the caitya of Mañjudeva according to the rule,

आराधना र पूजा गरी, भक्ति र आदरपूर्वक भजन गर;
र मञ्जुदेवको चैत्यको विधिअनुसार दर्शन गरी,

propitiate and worship it, and honour it reciting this dhāraṇī;
and the teacher seated in the cave, settled in concentration and meditation,

आराधना र पूजा गरी, यो धारणी जप्दै भजन गर;
र गुफामा बसेका, समाधि र ध्यानमा स्थित आचार्यको,

meditate upon him, propitiate and worship him, bow and honour him with reverence;
and so too the other great beings, the devotees of the Dharmadhātu,

ध्यान गरी, आराधना र पूजा गरी, प्रणाम गरी आदरपूर्वक भजन गर;
र त्यसरी नै धर्मधातुका अन्य महासत्त्व उपासकहरू,

propitiate and worship them all and make salutation to them.
Purified in self by this merit, a vessel of glory and true virtue,

ती सबैको आराधना र पूजा गरी प्रणाम गर।
यस पुण्यले विशुद्ध आत्मा, भद्रश्री र सद्गुणका आश्रय भई,

you shall become a Bodhisattva, a great being, a protector of the world.
Then, fulfilling the accumulations for awakening in due order,

तिमी बोधिसत्त्व, महासत्त्व, जगद्भर्ता हुनेछौ।
त्यसपछि क्रमैसँग संबोधिसम्भार पूरा गरी,

as an Arhat, attaining awakening, you shall reach the state of a Perfect Buddha.
Knowing this truth, if you desire perfect awakening,

अर्हत भई, बोधि प्राप्त गरेर सम्बुद्धपद पाउनेछौ।
यो सत्य जानेर, यदि तिमी सम्बोधि चाहन्छौ भने,

go there with great festivity, behold that Dharmadhātu,
and propitiating him according to the rule, worship him, taking refuge.

महोत्साहका साथ त्यहाँ गएर त्यो धर्मधातुको दर्शन गरी,
विधिअनुसार आराधना गरी, शरणमा गई भजन गर।

Go; may it be well with you, and may what you seek be accomplished.
Look upon it as you wish, and come back rejoicing.

जाऊ; तिम्रो मङ्गल होस्, र तिम्रो अभीष्ट सिद्ध होस्।
इच्छाअनुसार दर्शन गरी, प्रमुदित भई फर्की आऊ।

Hearing this taught by the teacher, that king joyfully
bowed to his guru with folded hands, received his leave, and rejoiced.

गुरुले दिनुभएको यो उपदेश सुनेर, ती नृपति हर्षपूर्वक
हात जोडेर गुरुलाई प्रणाम गरी, अनुज्ञा पाएर आनन्दित भए।

Then that king, with his ministers, his people and his citizens,
with royal splendour, blessing and festivity, set out and went in joy.

त्यसपछि ती नृपतिराजा मन्त्री, जन र पौरिकहरूसहित,
राजऋद्धि, मङ्गल र उत्साहका साथ प्रस्थान गरी हर्षपूर्वक हिँडे।

There on the road that lord of kings, gladdening all the people,
travelling swiftly with great festivity, came to Nepāla.

त्यहाँ बाटोमा ती राजेन्द्रले सबै मानिसलाई प्रसन्न पार्दै,
महोत्साहका साथ छिटो यात्रा गरी नेपाल आइपुगे।

Arriving there and seeing the glorious Swayambhu from afar,
he made salutation with folded hands and went on at once with a glad heart.

त्यहाँ पुगेर टाढैबाट श्री स्वयम्भूलाई देखेर,
हात जोडेर प्रणाम गरी, प्रसन्न मनले तुरुन्तै अगाडि बढे।

Looking about him everywhere at the good cheer that prevailed,
that king, filled with wonder and delight, drew near.

चारैतिर चलिरहेको शुभोत्साह हेर्दै,
ती नृपति विस्मय र आनन्दले भरिएर नजिक गए।

There at all the fords in order that lord of men
bathed, gave gifts to those who asked as they wished, and kept the vow.

त्यहाँ सबै तीर्थमा क्रमैसँग ती नराधिपले,
स्नान गरी, माग्नेहरूलाई इच्छाअनुसार दान दिई, व्रत आचरण गरे।

Then, seeing the eight Vītarāgas, that king rejoiced,
and propitiating them according to the rule, worshipped and honoured them.

त्यसपछि आठ वीतराग देखेर ती नृपति हर्षित भए,
र विधिअनुसार आराधना गरी पूजा र भजन गरे।

Then, going on in joy, beholding the Dharmadhātu, the abode of the Jina,
he propitiated it according to the rule and worshipped it in turn.

त्यसपछि हर्षपूर्वक अगाडि बढ्दै, धर्मधातु जिनालयको दर्शन गरी,
विधिअनुसार आराधना गरी क्रमैसँग पूजा र भजन गरे।

Then in Vāyupura the deity of wind with her host, in joy,
he propitiated according to the rule, worshipped and bowed and honoured.

Then the teacher Shantikar, settled in concentration and meditation,
he meditated upon, propitiated, worshipped and honoured, filled with delight.

त्यसपछि समाधि र ध्यानमा स्थित आचार्य शान्तिकरको,
ध्यान गरी, आराधना गरी, पूजा गरी, अत्यन्त प्रमुदित भई भजन गरे।

Then Dharmodayā, the goddess Khagānanā, the great sovereign,
he propitiated according to the rule, worshipped and honoured in joy.

त्यसपछि धर्मोदया देवी खगानना महेश्वरीको,
विधिअनुसार आराधना गरी, पूजा गरी हर्षपूर्वक भजन गरे।

The Perfect Buddha, lotus-eyed, the Omniscient, seat of compassion,
the wholly good Teacher, the Lion of the Śākyas: to him I bow.

सम्बुद्ध, पुण्डरीकाक्ष, सर्वज्ञ, करुणाका आश्रय,
समन्तभद्र शास्ता, शाक्यसिंहलाई म नमन गर्छु।

The Dense Mass of Glory, the glorious, the best, a heap of virtue, maker of blessing,

Then, taking refuge in the caitya of Mañjuśrī and in the Dharmadhātu,
he propitiated them according to the rule, worshipped them and bowed and honoured them.

त्यसपछि मञ्जुश्रीको चैत्य र धर्मधातुको आश्रय लिई,
विधिअनुसार आराधना गरी, पूजा गरी, प्रणाम गरी भजन गरे।

Then, going on in joy, beholding the Dharmadhātu, the abode of the Jina,

त्यसपछि हर्षपूर्वक अगाडि बढ्दै, धर्मधातु जिनालयको दर्शन गरी,
विधिअनुसार आराधना गरी, पूजा गरी हर्षपूर्वक भजन गरे।

With the highest devotion he praised Swayambhu, the abode of the Jina:
To you whose form is light and whose nature is consciousness, salutation.

पृथ्वीआदि भूतका निर्माता, जगत्वन्द्य तपाईंलाई नमस्कार;
जगत्स्रष्टा, जगत्पाता, जगद्धर्ता, बारम्बार नमस्कार।

Reached through meditation, the object of meditation, giver of the fourfold aim.
Having praised him thus, that Aśoka then asked his pardon.

ध्यानगम्य, ध्येय, चतुर्वर्गप्रदायी।
यसरी स्तुति गरेर ती अशोकले क्षमायाचना गरे।

Thus that king, worshipping all the devotees of the Dharmadhātu,
those great beings, honoured them and satisfied them.

यसरी ती नृपतिले धर्मधातुका सबै उपासक
महासत्त्वहरूको पूजा गरी, सत्कार गरी सन्तुष्ट पारे।

Thus that king, glorious, taking refuge in the Dharmadhātu,
worshipped the Three Jewels and practised the vow of awakening.

यसरी ती श्रीमान् नृपराजाले धर्मधातुको आश्रय लिई,
त्रिरत्नको भजन गरी बोधिसंवर आचरण गरे।

Then that king, gladdened, with his ministers, people and citizens,
bowed to the Dharmadhātu, circumambulated it, and went on in joy.

त्यसपछि ती आनन्दित राजाले मन्त्री, जन र पौरिकसहित,
धर्मधातुलाई प्रणाम गरी, प्रदक्षिणा गरी हर्षपूर्वक हिँडे।

Then that lord of the earth, travelling with great festivity and delight,
reached his city at once and came to the monastery.

त्यसपछि ती भूमीन्द्र महोत्साह र प्रमोदका साथ यात्रा गर्दै,
तुरुन्तै नगर पुगेर विहारमा आए।

Coming there to that Arhat Upagupta with his companions,
he beheld him, bowed with folded hands, and sat to one side of the assembly.

त्यहाँ सांघिकहरूसहित ती अर्हत उपगुप्तकहाँ पुगेर,
उहाँलाई देखेर हात जोडेर प्रणाम गरी सभाको एकातिर बसे।

Seeing him come, that Arhat teacher, his gaze serene,
asked the king whether he was welcome and whether all was well.

उनी आएको देखेर, ती अर्हत शास्ता प्रसन्न दृष्टिले,
नृपतिलाई स्वागत र कुशल सोधे।

Hearing that, that lord of the earth, with folded hands,
bowed to that teacher and, his face bright with joy, looked at him and said:

त्यो सुनेर, ती महीपालले हात जोडेर,
ती शास्तालाई प्रणाम गरी, प्रसन्न मुखले हेर्दै भने:

I have come back, teacher, by the power of your kindness.
How should it not be well with me, everywhere and always?

हे शास्ता, तपाईंको कृपाको प्रभावले म फर्केर आएँ।
मेरो सर्वत्र र सदा कुशल कसरी नहोस्?

By the power of your kindness I went about Nepāla in joy,
and seeing all the fords, bathed and gave gifts as I wished;

तपाईंको कृपाको प्रभावले म नेपालमा हर्षपूर्वक विचरण गरेँ,
र सबै तीर्थ देखेर स्नान गरी इच्छाअनुसार दान दिएँ;

and beholding the eight Vītarāgas, delighted,
I propitiated them according to the rule and worshipped them in turn.

र आठ वीतरागको दर्शन गरी प्रमोदित भई,
विधिअनुसार आराधना गरी क्रमैसँग पूजा गरेँ।

Then, beholding that glorious Dharmadhātu, Swayambhu,
I propitiated him according to the rule and worshipped him in joy.

त्यसपछि त्यो श्रीमान् धर्मधातु स्वयम्भूको दर्शन गरी,
विधिअनुसार आराधना गरी हर्षपूर्वक भजन गरेँ।

Then in Vāyupura the deity of wind was worshipped by me,
and in Agnipura too the deity of fire was worshipped by me;

त्यसपछि वायुपुरमा वायुदेवताको मैले पूजा गरेँ,
र अग्निपुरमा वह्निदेवताको पनि मैले पूजा गरेँ;

and in Nāgapura the Nāga kings too were worshipped by me,
and so too in Vasupura the goddess Vasundharā was worshipped.

र नागपुरमा नागराजहरूको पनि मैले पूजा गरेँ,
र त्यसरी नै वसुपुरमा देवी वसुन्धराको पूजा गरेँ।

Then in Śāntipura the glorious Saṁvara too was worshipped,
and then the teacher Shantikar was beheld and worshipped by me.

त्यसपछि शान्तिपुरमा श्रीमान् सम्बरको पनि पूजा गरेँ,
र त्यसपछि आचार्य शान्तिकरको दर्शन गरी मैले पूजा गरेँ।

And the goddess Khagānanā too was propitiated and worshipped,
and the caitya of Mañjudeva was worshipped according to the rule.

र देवी खगाननाको पनि आराधना गरी पूजा गरेँ,
र मञ्जुदेवको चैत्यको विधिअनुसार पूजा गरेँ।

Thus, venerable one, there on that holy ground of Upachandoha,
all the deities were propitiated and worshipped by me according to the rule.

यसरी, भदन्त, त्यहाँ उपछन्दोहको पुण्यभूमिमा,
सबै देवताको विधिअनुसार मैले आराधना र पूजा गरेँ।

This merit has been gained by me through the power of your kindness;
and so now my birth, and my life too, have borne fruit.

यो पुण्य मैले तपाईंको कृपाको प्रभावले प्राप्त गरेँ;
र त्यसैले अब मेरो जन्म र जीवन पनि सफल भयो।

And so, teacher, may I always worship that Dharmadhātu, the abode of the Jina,
remembering him, uttering his name, and meditating upon him, all my life.

र त्यसैले, हे शास्ता, म सधैँ त्यो धर्मधातु जिनालयको
स्मरण गरी, नाम उच्चारण गरी, ध्यान गरी जीवनभर भजन गरूँ।

Hearing this told by the king, that Arhat, made serene,
looking upon that king, instructed him again thus:

राजाले यसो भनेको सुनेर, ती अर्हत प्रसन्न भई,
ती नृपतिलाई हेर्दै पुनः यस्तो उपदेश दिए:

Blessed are you, great king, in that you wish to worship
the Dharmadhātu, the abode of the Jina, remembering and meditating. Worship him always here.

तिमी धन्य छौ, हे महाराज, कि तिमी धर्मधातु जिनालयको
स्मरण र ध्यान गरी भजन गर्न चाहन्छौ। यहीँ सधैँ भजन गर।

Purified in self by this merit, a vessel of glory and true virtue,
you shall become a Bodhisattva, a great being, lord of all Dharma.

यस पुण्यले विशुद्ध आत्मा, भद्रश्री र सद्गुणका आश्रय भई,
तिमी बोधिसत्त्व, महासत्त्व, सर्वधर्माधिप हुनेछौ।

Then, fulfilling the accumulations for awakening in due order,
as an Arhat, attaining the threefold awakening, you shall surely gain the state of a Buddha.

त्यसपछि क्रमैसँग संबोधिसम्भार पूरा गरी,
अर्हत भई, त्रिविध बोधि प्राप्त गरेर निश्चय नै बुद्धपद पाउनेछौ।

Even by hearing the story of the origin of that Dharmadhātu Swayambhu
a man gains great merit, the means to the accomplishing of awakening.

त्यो धर्मधातु स्वयम्भूको उत्पत्तिकथा सुनेर मात्र पनि
मानिसले संबोधिसाधनरूपी महान् पुण्य प्राप्त गर्छ।

Knowing this, mortals should by all means hear the story of the origin
of that Swayambhu with honour and with faith.

यो जानेर, मर्त्यहरूले त्यो स्वयम्भूको उत्पत्तिकथा
सत्कार र श्रद्धापूर्वक हरहालतमा सुन्नुपर्छ।

Those who hear the story of the origin of that Dharmadhātu Swayambhu
with devotion, honour, faith and joy,

जसले त्यो धर्मधातु स्वयम्भूको उत्पत्तिकथा
भक्ति, सत्कार, श्रद्धा र हर्षका साथ सुन्छन्,

they never go to an evil destiny anywhere at any time,
but are always born in fortunate states, vessels of glory and true virtue,

तिनीहरू कहिल्यै, कतै दुर्गतिमा जाँदैनन्,
सधैँ सद्गतिमा जन्मिएर भद्रश्री र सद्गुणका आश्रय हुन्छन्,

devoted to the vow of Bodhi-conduct that holds the welfare of all beings,
of great higher knowledge, protectors of the world, they become sons of the Sugata.

सबै प्राणीको हित धारण गर्ने बोधिचर्याव्रतमा रत,
महाभिज्ञ, जगन्नाथ भई सुगतपुत्र हुन्छन्।

Fulfilling the accumulations for awakening in due order for the welfare of the world,
as Arhats, attaining the threefold awakening, they reach the state of the Sugata.

जगत्को हितका लागि क्रमैसँग बोधिसम्भार पूरा गरी,
अर्हत भई, त्रिविध बोधि प्राप्त गरेर सौगत पद पाउँछन्।

Knowing this, great king, it should be heard with faith and reverence:
the greatness of Swayambhu's virtue, hard to come by, by those who long for awakening.

यो जानेर, हे महाराज, श्रद्धा र आदरपूर्वक सुन्नुपर्छ:
बोधिका अभिलाषीहरूले दुर्लभ स्वयम्भूगुणमाहात्म्य।

Those who hear with devotion, honour, faith and joy
the greatness of Swayambhu's virtue, giver of the glory and good of the true Dharma,

जसले भक्ति, सत्कार, श्रद्धा र हर्षका साथ सुन्छन्,
सद्धर्मको श्री र गुणको अर्थ दिने स्वयम्भूगुणमाहात्म्य,

they too shall not go to an evil destiny, but always attain fortunate states,
and vessels of glory and true virtue, they shall be gainers of awakening.

तिनीहरू पनि दुर्गतिमा जाँदैनन्, सधैँ सद्गति पाउँछन्,
र भद्रश्री तथा सद्गुणका आधार भई बोधिलाभी हुन्छन्।

Therefore, having heard and meditated on this great merit always with reverence,
remembering and uttering his name, Swayambhu should be worshipped.

त्यसैले यो महान् पुण्य सधैँ आदरपूर्वक सुनेर र ध्यान गरी,
स्मरण गरी, नाम उच्चारण गरी स्वयम्भूको भजन गर्नुपर्छ।

I too formerly, O king, hearing the account of the virtue
of the Dharmadhātu Swayambhu, was filled with delight.

म पनि पहिले, हे राजन्, धर्मधातु स्वयम्भूको
सद्गुणको कथा सुनेर अत्यन्त प्रमोदित भएँ।

Then at once I went there to Nepāla,
and bathing at all the fords, gave gifts as I wished.

त्यसपछि म तुरुन्तै त्यहाँ नेपालमा गएँ,
र सबै तीर्थमा स्नान गरी इच्छाअनुसार दान दिएँ।

And propitiating those eight Vītarāgas, I worshipped them,
and the goddess Khagānanā too was propitiated and worshipped.

र ती आठ वीतरागको आराधना गरी मैले पूजा गरेँ,
र देवी खगाननाको पनि आराधना गरी पूजा गरेँ।

And the caitya of Mañjudeva was propitiated and worshipped,
and the five deities established in the five cities were worshipped.

र मञ्जुदेवको चैत्यको आराधना गरी पूजा गरेँ,
र पाँच पुरमा स्थापित पाँच देवताको पूजा गरेँ।

And the teacher Shantikar too was beheld and worshipped;
then, taking refuge in the Dharmadhātu Swayambhu,

र आचार्य शान्तिकरको पनि दर्शन गरी पूजा गरेँ;
त्यसपछि धर्मधातु स्वयम्भूको शरण लिई,

honouring him with faith and propitiating him daily, I worshipped him in joy.
Thus, taking refuge there always, a devotee of the Dharmadhātu,

श्रद्धाले सत्कार गरी नित्य आराधना गरी हर्षपूर्वक भजन गरेँ।
यसरी त्यहाँ सधैँ आश्रय लिई, धर्मधातुको उपासक भई,

worshipping the Three Jewels, I practised the vow of awakening.
Purified in self by this merit, my three spheres wholly pure,

त्रिरत्नको भजन गरी मैले बोधिसंवर आचरण गरेँ।
यस पुण्यले विशुद्ध आत्मा, त्रिमण्डल पूर्ण शुद्ध भई,

I attained awakening and am now a son of the Jina.
Knowing this, those human beings who long for perfect peace,

मैले बोधि प्राप्त गरेँ र अहिले जिनपुत्र भएको छु।
यो जानेर, जुन मनुष्यहरू सुनिर्वृति चाहन्छन्,

let them propitiate the Dharmadhātu and worship him always in joy,
remembering, meditating, and even uttering his name with reverence,

तिनीहरूले धर्मधातुको आराधना गरी सधैँ हर्षपूर्वक भजन गरून्,
स्मरण, ध्यान गरी, नाम मात्र आदरपूर्वक उच्चारण गरी,

and beholding him and bowing, let them worship that abode of the Jina.
Those who worship him always, remembering, meditating and bowing to that abode of the Jina,

र दर्शन गरी, प्रणाम गरी त्यो जिनालयको भजन गरून्।
जसले सधैँ स्मरण, ध्यान र प्रणाम गरी त्यो जिनालयको भजन गर्छन्,

swiftly attaining awakening, they reach the state of a Perfect Buddha.
So the truth has been declared by all the Lords of Sages.

छिट्टै संबोधि प्राप्त गरेर सम्बुद्धपद पाउँछन्।
यसरी सबै मुनीश्वरहरूद्वारा सत्य घोषित छ।

Having heard and rejoiced, let them remember and worship that Dharmadhātu fully.
Those too who, hearing these good words, are gladdened in intention,

सुनेर र अनुमोदन गरेर, त्यो धर्मधातुको स्मरण गरी पूर्ण भजन गरून्।
जसले यी सुभाषित सुनेर प्रसन्न आशयका हुन्छन्,

and remembering and meditating upon the Dharmadhātu, worship him always,
they too, by this great merit, their three spheres wholly pure,

र धर्मधातुको स्मरण र ध्यान गरी सधैँ भजन गर्छन्,
तिनीहरू पनि यस महान् पुण्यले, त्रिमण्डल पूर्ण शुद्ध भई,

vessels of glory and true virtue, dwelling in the four Brahmavihāras,
Bodhisattvas, great beings, of great higher knowledge and sound faculties,

भद्रश्री र सद्गुणका आधार, चार ब्रह्मविहारमा विहार गर्दै,
बोधिसत्त्व, महासत्त्व, महाभिज्ञ, शुभ इन्द्रियका भई,

swiftly attaining awakening, shall reach the state of a Perfect Buddha.
Thus it was taught to me by my teacher, and as I heard it, so it is told.

छिट्टै संबोधि प्राप्त गरेर सम्बुद्धपद पाउनेछन्।
यसरी मेरा गुरुले मलाई उपदेश दिनुभयो, र मैले जसरी सुनेँ, त्यसरी नै भनिएको छ।

You too, having this heard by the people always, gladden them;
for by the power of this merit, everywhere and always for them

तिमी पनि यो सधैँ मानिसहरूलाई सुनाएर आनन्दित पार;
किनकि यस पुण्यको प्रभावले, तिनीहरूका लागि सर्वत्र र सदा

there will surely be freedom from calamity and good cheer, O lord of men.
Hearing this taught by that Arhat, King Aśoka joyfully

निश्चय नै निरुत्पात र शुभोत्साह हुनेछ, हे नराधिप।
ती अर्हतले दिनुभएको यो उपदेश सुनेर, राजा अशोकले हर्षपूर्वक

assented, saying so be it, and rejoiced with his retinue.
Then all those people too, hearing these good words,

'त्यस्तै होस्' भनी स्वीकार गरी परिजनसहित आनन्दित भए।
त्यसपछि ती सबै मानिसले पनि यी सुभाषित सुनेर,

rejoicing in them, walked always in what is good with great festivity.
Then by the power of that merit, there and everywhere always

तीमा अनुमोदन गरी महोत्साहका साथ सधैँ शुभमा प्रवृत्त भए।
त्यसपछि त्यो पुण्यको प्रभावले, त्यहाँ र सर्वत्र सधैँ

freedom from calamity and good cheer prevailed without ceasing.
Having so instructed, that Jayaśrī of great higher knowledge and great intellect,

निरुत्पात र शुभोत्साह निरन्तर चल्यो।
यसरी उपदेश दिएर, ती महाभिज्ञ महामति जयश्रीले,

looking upon all those companions, instructed them again thus:
Wherever this discourse on the Dharma shall be set going, even in the Kali age,

ती सबै सांघिकहरूलाई हेर्दै पुनः यस्तो उपदेश दिए:
जहाँ यो धर्मकथा प्रवर्तित हुनेछ, कलियुगमा समेत,

whoever shall speak it, whoever hear it, whoever have it heard or spread it,
for all of these, there, all the Perfect Buddhas always,

जसले यो भन्नेछ, जसले सुन्नेछ, जसले सुनाउनेछ वा फैलाउनेछ,
ती सबैका लागि त्यहाँ सबै सम्बुद्धहरूले सधैँ,

looking upon them with a kindly eye, shall bring about good through all their lives.
And all the goddesses of the Perfections shall bring them blessing there always;

कृपादृष्टिले हेर्दै जीवनभर भद्र गर्नेछन्।
र सबै पारमिता देवीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई त्यहाँ सधैँ शिव गर्नेछिन्;

and they shall fulfil the accumulations for awakening in due order.
And all the Bodhisattvas too, and the solitary Buddhas,

र तिनीहरूले क्रमैसँग बोधिसम्भार पूरा गर्नेछन्।
र सबै बोधिसत्त्वहरू, र प्रत्येकबुद्धहरू पनि,

the Arhats and the yogins, shall bring them blessing always.
And all the guardians of the worlds, and all the great seers,

अर्हत र योगीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई सधैँ मङ्गल गर्नेछन्।
र सबै लोकाधिपहरू, र सबै महर्षिहरू,

seeing them, shall bring blessing to all of them there.
And all the lords of gods too, and all the lords of Daityas as well,

तिनीहरूलाई देखेर, ती सबैलाई मङ्गल गर्नेछन्।
र सबै देवाधिपहरू, र सबै दैत्याधिपहरू पनि,

so too all the Gandharvas, and all the lords of Yakṣas,
the Garuḍas and the Nāga kings, and the lords of Kumbhāṇḍas too,

त्यसरी नै सबै गन्धर्वहरू, र सबै यक्षाधिपहरू,
गरुड र नागराजहरू, र कुम्भाण्डाधीश्वरहरू पनि,

seeing them, shall guard them always on every side.
And all the Mother goddesses too, with the hosts of Bhairavas,

तिनीहरूलाई देखेर सधैँ चारैतिर रक्षा गर्नेछन्।
र सबै मातृका देवीहरू, भैरवगणसहित पनि,

making protection for them, shall bring them good on every side.
And all the planets and stars, the Siddhas and Vidyādharas,

तिनीहरूको रक्षा गरी चारैतिर भद्र गर्नेछन्।
र सबै ग्रह र ताराहरू, सिद्ध र विद्याधरहरू,

and the Sādhyas too, always looking on, shall bring them good blessing.
And the spirits, hungry ghosts and Piśācas, and the wicked hosts of Māra too,

र साध्यहरूले पनि सधैँ हेर्दै सुमङ्गल गर्नेछन्।
र भूत, प्रेत र पिशाचहरू, र दुष्ट मारगणहरू पनि,

seeing them, made gracious, shall guard them always in joy.
Whoever joyfully writes out the account of the greatness of Swayambhu's virtue,

तिनीहरूलाई देखेर प्रसन्न भई सधैँ हर्षपूर्वक रक्षा गर्नेछन्।
जसले हर्षपूर्वक स्वयम्भूगुणमाहात्म्यको कथा लेख्छ,

by him the whole of the good word of the Great Vehicle has been written.
And whoever has this good word of the Dharmadhātu copied out,

उसले महायानको सम्पूर्ण सुभाषित लेखेको हुन्छ।
र जसले यो धर्मधातुको सुभाषित लेखाउँछ,

by him too the whole sūtra has surely been caused to be written.
And those who, having written it, consecrate it according to the rule,

उसले पनि निश्चय नै सम्पूर्ण सूत्र लेखाएको हुन्छ।
र जसले लेखेर विधिअनुसार प्रतिष्ठा गरी,

and setting it in a clean place in the house, worship it always with the requisites of worship,
by them all the Arhats and Jinas, and the solitary Buddhas too,

र घरको शुद्ध स्थानमा राखेर सधैँ पूजाका सामग्रीले पूजा गर्छन्,
तिनीहरूद्वारा सबै अर्हत र जिनहरू, र प्रत्येकबुद्धहरू पनि,

and the Bodhisattvas with their communities, are truly worshipped.
And whoever, himself holding this, teaches it to others as well,

र संघसहित बोधिसत्त्वहरू साँच्चै पूजित हुन्छन्।
र जसले आफैँ यो धारण गरी अरूलाई पनि सिकाउँछ,

and cultivates it always, remembering, meditating and bowing in joy,
for him all the Lords of Sages, and the solitary Buddhas too,

र सधैँ स्मरण, ध्यान गरी हर्षपूर्वक प्रणाम गर्दै भावना गर्छ,
उसका लागि सबै मुनीन्द्रहरू, र प्रत्येकबुद्धहरू पनि,

the Arhats and the Bodhisattvas, well pleased, shall give what he desires.
And whoever honours the one who teaches this, and all the disciples too,

अर्हत र बोधिसत्त्वहरूले सन्तुष्ट भई उसको अभीष्ट दिनेछन्।
र जसले यसको उपदेशक र सबै श्रावकहरूको सत्कार गर्छ,

worshipping them according to the rule and satisfying them with food,
by him all the Perfect Buddhas, and the solitary Buddhas too,

विधिअनुसार पूजा गरी भोजनले सन्तुष्ट पार्छ,
उसद्वारा सबै सम्बुद्धहरू, र प्रत्येकबुद्धहरू पनि,

all the Arhats and monks, the yogins and celibate practitioners,
and all the Bodhisattvas too, the keepers of vows and the renunciates,

सबै अर्हत र भिक्षुहरू, योगी र ब्रह्मचारीहरू,
र सबै बोधिसत्त्वहरू, व्रती र यतिहरू पनि,

are worshipped and fed and satisfied, and are made glad.
But why speak at such length? All the Buddhas and Lords of Sages,

पूजित, भोजित र सन्तुष्ट भई अनुमोदित हुन्छन्।
तर किन यति धेरै भन्ने? सबै बुद्ध र मुनीश्वरहरू,

all the Tārās and the goddesses, and all the communities, sons of the Jina,
always looking upon them with a kindly eye and made glad,

सबै तारा र देवीहरू, र सबै संघ, जिनपुत्रहरू,
सधैँ तिनीहरूलाई कृपादृष्टिले हेर्दै अनुमोदित भई,

making protection everywhere, shall give them what they desire;
and all the gods and goddesses shall surely be pleased with their worship.

सबैतिर रक्षा गरी तिनीहरूलाई अभीष्ट दिनेछन्;
र सबै देव र देवीहरू निश्चय नै तिनीहरूको पूजाले सन्तुष्ट हुनेछन्।

And all the guardians of the worlds, and all the gods and lords of gods,
making protection, shall grant them boons in the practice of the true Dharma.

र सबै लोकाधिपहरू, र सबै देव तथा सुराधिपहरूले,
रक्षा गरी तिनीहरूलाई सद्धर्मसाधनामा वर दिनेछन्।

Kings too, made glad, shall always give them protection,
and giving them what they wish, shall look after them with reverence.

राजाहरूले पनि अनुमोदित भई सधैँ तिनीहरूको रक्षा गर्नेछन्,
र अभिवाञ्छित दिएर आदरपूर्वक पालन गर्नेछन्।

Ministers too, with their counsellors, officials and attendants,
with their servants, soldiers and retainers, shall always work for their good.

मन्त्रीहरू पनि अमात्य, सचिव र अनुचरसहित,
भृत्य, सैन्य र भट्टसहित सधैँ तिनीहरूको हित गर्नेछन्।

And all the Vaiśyas, upholders of every enterprise, shall be dear friends to them,
and all the guild masters and men of substance shall work for their good.

र सबै वैश्य, सर्वार्थका धारक, तिनीहरूका प्रिय सुहृद् हुनेछन्,
र सबै श्रेष्ठी र महाजनहरूले तिनीहरूको हित गर्नेछन्।

Even enemies shall come to serve them, and being pleased, wish them well;
and so too all other people shall be of friendly mind towards them.

शत्रुहरू पनि दास भई आउनेछन्, र प्रसन्न भई हितैषी हुनेछन्;
र त्यसरी नै अन्य सबै मानिस तिनीहरूप्रति मैत्रीचित्त हुनेछन्।

Beasts and birds too, and all insects and living creatures,
shall never be hostile to them, but shall wish them well.

पशु र पक्षीहरू पनि, र सबै कीट र जन्तुहरू,
तिनीहरूप्रति कहिल्यै विरुद्ध हुनेछैनन्, हितैषी हुनेछन्।

Thus for them everywhere among all peoples, for those who practise the true Dharma,
there shall always be freedom from calamity, good cheer and blessing.

यसरी सबै लोकमा सर्वत्र, सद्धर्मसाधकहरूका लागि,
सधैँ निरुत्पात, शुभोत्साह र सौमङ्गल्य हुनेछ।

This merit, so excellent, arising from the dwelling of Swayambhu:
knowing it, bow to that Lord of the three worlds and worship him always in joy.

स्वयम्भूको भवनबाट उत्पन्न यो अत्युत्तम पुण्य:
यो जानेर त्यो त्रिजगन्नाथलाई प्रणाम गरी सधैँ हर्षपूर्वक भजन गर।

Those who, standing in his refuge, remember and meditate with settled minds,
and even uttering his name, worship him with faith always,

जो उहाँको शरणमा बसेर समाहित चित्तले स्मरण र ध्यान गर्छन्,
र नाम मात्र उच्चारण गरी पनि सधैँ श्रद्धाले भजन गर्छन्,

for them all three of the Jewels are always wholly gracious,
and looking on them with a kindly eye, shall give them what is good always.

तिनीहरूका लागि तीनै रत्न सधैँ सुप्रसन्न हुन्छन्,
र कृपादृष्टिले हेर्दै सधैँ शुभ दिनेछन्।

Thus taught by the teacher, hearing Jayaśrī, they
with Jineśvara at their head, all the communities, rejoiced and were awakened.

शास्ताले यसरी दिनुभएको उपदेश जयश्रीबाट सुनेर,
जिनेश्वरलगायत सबै संघहरू आनन्दित भई प्रबुद्ध भए।

And that whole assembly too, hearing this, was made serene,
and saying so be it, they rejoiced and were awakened.

र त्यो सम्पूर्ण सभा पनि यो सुनेर प्रसन्न भई,
'त्यस्तै होस्' भन्दै आनन्दित भई प्रबुद्ध भए।

Then all those people rose, made serene,
bowed to Jayaśrī with his community, and went each to his own hermitage.

त्यसपछि ती सबै मानिस उठेर, प्रसन्न भई,
संघसहित जयश्रीलाई प्रणाम गरी आ-आफ्ना आश्रममा गए।

Coming there daily with prosperity, with his community and the sons of the Jina,
bathing at all the fords and keeping the vow according to the rule,

त्यहाँ नित्य ऋद्धिसहित आएर, संघ र जिनपुत्रहरूसहित,
सबै तीर्थमा स्नान गरी विधिअनुसार व्रत धारण गरी,

then the eight Vītarāgas, and the goddess Khagānanā,
and the five deities too, they worshipped according to the rule.

त्यसपछि आठ वीतराग, र देवी खगानना,
र ती पाँच देवताको पनि विधिअनुसार पूजा गरे।

And so too the teacher Shantikar, and the caitya of Mañjuśrī,
and propitiating the Dharmadhātu, they meditated, worshipped and honoured him always.

र त्यसरी नै आचार्य शान्तिकर, र मञ्जुश्रीको चैत्य,
र धर्मधातुको आराधना गरी, ध्यान गरी, पूजा गरी सधैँ भजन गरे।

Then by the power of that merit, in that country always
freedom from calamity and good cheer prevailed on every side.

त्यसपछि त्यो पुण्यको प्रभावले, त्यो देशमा सधैँ
निरुत्पात र शुभोत्साह चारैतिर चल्यो।

Then that Jayaśrī of great higher knowledge, son of the Sugata,
looking upon all those companions, instructed them again thus:

त्यसपछि ती महाभिज्ञ सुगतपुत्र जयश्रीले,
ती सबै सांघिकहरूलाई हेर्दै पुनः यस्तो उपदेश दिए:

Wherever this discourse on the Dharma of Swayambhu has been spread,
there, by the power of this merit, may there be good always.

जहाँ स्वयम्भूको यो धर्मकथा प्रचारित भएको छ,
त्यहाँ, यस पुण्यको प्रभावले, सधैँ शुभ होस्।

May all the Perfect Buddhas there, and the solitary Buddhas too,
the Arhats and the Bodhisattvas, bring blessing always.

त्यहाँ सबै सम्बुद्धहरू, र प्रत्येकबुद्धहरू पनि,
अर्हत र बोधिसत्त्वहरूले सधैँ मङ्गल गरून्।

May all the guardians of the worlds too, and all the great seers,
looking there always, bring about good blessing.

सबै लोकाधिपहरूले पनि, र सबै महर्षिहरूले,
त्यहाँ सधैँ हेर्दै सुमङ्गल गरून्।

May the clouds rain in season, may the earth bear its crops,
may there be freedom from calamity and plenty there always.

मेघहरू समयमा वर्षून्, पृथ्वी शस्यवती होस्,
त्यहाँ सधैँ निरुत्पात र सुभिक्ष होस्।

May the king be most righteous, and the ministers walk in sound policy;
may all the people be of good livelihood and practise the Dharma.

राजा परम धार्मिक होऊन्, मन्त्रीहरू नीतिचारी होऊन्;
सबै मानिस सुवृत्तिस्थ भई धर्मसाधक होऊन्।

May all beings be of good conduct, their intentions set on awakening;
worshipping the Three Jewels, may they walk always in what is good.

सबै प्राणी समाचारी होऊन्, संबोधिमा आशय राखून्;
त्रिरत्नको भजन गरी सधैँ शुभमा प्रवृत्त होऊन्।

Hearing this taught by Jayaśrī, all his companions,
saying may it be so, rejoiced and were made serene.

जयश्रीले दिनुभएको यो उपदेश सुनेर, सबै सांघिकहरूले,
'यस्तै होस्' भन्दै आनन्दित भई प्रसन्न भए।
