स्वयम्भू पुराण

Then that great being Maitreya, son of the Sugata,
bowing to the Blessed One, spoke thus with folded hands:

त्यसपछि ती महासत्त्व सुगतपुत्र मैत्रेयले,
भगवान्लाई प्रणाम गरी हात जोडेर यसो भने:

Blessed One, when were the villages, the cities, the markets and the rest
and the great realms established here? May you teach us that.

भगवन्, यहाँ गाउँ, नगर, पङ्क्ति र अन्य बस्तीहरू,
र महाराष्ट्रहरू कहिले स्थापित भए? कृपया त्यो बताइदिनुहोस्।

Thus entreated by Maitreya, hearing him,
the Blessed One, looking upon that one of great knowledge, instructed thus:

मैत्रेयले यसरी प्रार्थना गरेपछि, त्यो सुनेर,
भगवान्ले ती महाज्ञानीलाई हेर्दै यस्तो उपदेश दिनुभयो:

Listen well, great being Maitreya, with a settled mind;
I shall tell of the time when settlement first arose here.

राम्ररी सुन, हे महासत्त्व मैत्रेय, समाहित चित्तले;
यहाँ कहिले बसोबास सुरु भयो, त्यो समय म भन्नेछु।

When the lifespan of human beings was forty thousand years,
there was Krakucchanda, Dharma-king, Lord of the world, Lord of Sages,

जब मानिसहरूको आयु चालीस हजार वर्ष थियो,
क्रकुच्छन्द नामका धर्मराज, जगन्नाथ, मुनीश्वर हुनुहुन्थ्यो,

master of all knowledge, Teacher, Guide of the threefold realm,
the Omniscient One of great wisdom, the Tathāgata, the Jina.

सर्वविद्याका अधिपति, शास्ता, त्रैधातुकका विनायक,
महाज्ञानी सर्वज्ञ, तथागत, जिन।

That Perfect Buddha, with his companions, for the welfare of the world,
in a lovely garden near the great city of Kṣemāvatī,

ती सम्बुद्धले आफ्ना सांघिकहरूसहित, जगत्को हितका लागि,
क्षेमावती महानगरको छेउको रमणीय आराममा,

in a monastery, a dwelling of the Sugata, taught the true Dharma,
excellent in beginning, middle and end, and dwelt there shining.

विहार, सुगतावासमा सद्धर्मको उपदेश दिनुभयो,
आदि, मध्य र अन्त्यमा कल्याणकारी, र प्रकाशित हुँदै त्यहाँ बस्नुभयो।

At that time I was a Bodhisattva of good understanding, named Jyotipāla,
and I honoured and worshipped that Teacher Krakucchanda always.

त्यस बेला म ज्योतिपाल नामका सुबुद्धि बोधिसत्त्व थिएँ,
र ती शास्ता क्रकुच्छन्दको सधैँ आराधना र भजन गर्थें।

Then that Blessed Teacher Krakucchanda, for the welfare of the world,
wished to teach the true Dharma throughout the countries.

त्यसपछि ती भगवान् शास्ता क्रकुच्छन्दले, जगत्को हितका लागि,
जनपदहरूमा सद्धर्मको उपदेश दिन चाहनुभयो।

Then that Blessed Teacher, accompanied by his whole community,
doing good everywhere and teaching, journeyed on.

त्यसपछि ती भगवान् शास्ताले आफ्नो सम्पूर्ण संघसहित,
सबैतिर भलाइ गर्दै र उपदेश दिँदै यात्रा गर्नुभयो।

Thus that Teacher, wandering and teaching the Dharma everywhere,
came in due course to this place and looked all around.

यसरी ती शास्ता विचरण गर्दै सबैतिर धर्मोपदेश दिँदै,
क्रमैसँग यहाँ आइपुग्नुभयो र चारैतिर हेर्नुभयो।

Seeing this Dharmadhātu, the blazing abode of the Jina,
he drew near with his community and worshipped joyfully according to the rule.

यो धर्मधातु, प्रज्वलित जिनालयलाई देखेर,
उहाँ आफ्नो संघसहित नजिक गई विधिअनुसार हर्षपूर्वक भजन गर्नुभयो।

Then he set out from here to the hill called Śaṅkha,
and dwelt with his companions upon its great pure rock.

त्यसपछि उहाँ यहाँबाट शंख नामको पर्वततर्फ जानुभयो,
र त्यसको महान् शुद्ध शिलामा सांघिकहरूसहित बस्नुभयो।

There, seeing that Lord of the world, the Sage Krakucchanda,
seated upon the seat in the midst of the assembly, honoured by the communities of monks,

त्यहाँ ती जगन्नाथ मुनीश्वर क्रकुच्छन्दलाई,
सभाको बीचमा आसनमा विराजमान, भिक्षुसंघहरूद्वारा सम्मानित देखेर,

the great beings, sons of the Jina, beholding him,
came with delight to drink the nectar of that true Dharma.

महासत्त्व जिनपुत्रहरूले उहाँलाई देखेर,
त्यो सद्धर्मरूपी अमृत पिउन हर्षित भई आए।

Nuns too, Suśīlā and the rest, and cailakas and laymen,
and keepers of vows, and all the laywomen too,

भिक्षुणीहरू पनि, सुशीलालगायत, र चैलक तथा उपासकहरू,
र व्रतीहरू, र सबै उपासिकाहरू पनि,

Bodhisattvas and great beings, longing for the virtues of the true Dharma,
all of them came to drink the nectar of that true Dharma.

बोधिसत्त्व र महासत्त्वहरू, सद्धर्मका गुणका अभिलाषी,
ती सबै त्यो सद्धर्मरूपी अमृत पिउन आए।

Worshipping that Blessed One and making circumambulations,
they bowed with folded hands and drew near, gazing upon him.

ती भगवान्को पूजा गरी प्रदक्षिणा पनि गरेर,
हात जोडेर प्रणाम गरी, उहाँलाई हेर्दै नजिक गए।

So too Brahmā and the rest, and the great seers and ascetics,
renunciates and yogins, sages and celibate practitioners,

त्यसरी नै ब्रह्मालगायत, र महर्षि तथा तपस्वीहरू,
यति र योगीहरू, मुनि र ब्रह्मचारीहरू,

So too Indra and the gods, and all the guardians of the worlds,
the planets and the hosts of stars, the Siddhas, Sādhyas and Vidyādharas,

त्यसरी नै इन्द्रलगायत देवताहरू, र सबै लोकाधिपतिहरू,
ग्रह र तारागणहरू, सिद्ध, साध्य र विद्याधरहरू,

Gandharvas, Kinnaras, Yakṣas, Guhyakas and Rākṣasas too,
Dānavas, Garuḍas and Nāgas, and others, came here.

गन्धर्व, किन्नर, यक्ष, गुह्यक र राक्षसहरू पनि,
दानव, गरुड र नागहरू, र अन्यहरू यहाँ आए।

Worshipping that Blessed One with his community, filled with delight,
they bowed and waited with settled minds to drink the nectar of the Dharma.

संघसहित ती भगवान्को पूजा गरी प्रमुदित भई,
प्रणाम गरेर धर्मरूपी अमृत पिउन समाहित चित्तले पर्खे।

So too the learned brahmins, kings and Kṣatriyas,
Vaiśyas, ministers and counsellors, soldiers, servants and other people,

त्यसरी नै विद्वान् ब्राह्मणहरू, राजा र क्षत्रियहरू,
वैश्य, मन्त्री र अमात्यहरू, सैनिक, भृत्य र अन्य जनहरू,

householders, the wealthy, the eminent, the good, and men of substance,
craftsmen and merchants, caravan leaders and townspeople,

गृहस्थ, धनी, श्रेष्ठ, साधु र महाजनहरू,
शिल्पी र व्यापारीहरू, सार्थवाह र पुरवासीहरू,

subjects, country people and villagers, wandering mendicants and hill dwellers,
and others too came from every direction.

प्रजा, जनपदवासी र गाउँलेहरू, कार्पटिक र शैलिकहरू,
र अन्यहरू पनि सबै दिशाबाट आए।

Beholding that Blessed One, they came and bowed,
worshipping in due order and making circumambulations,

ती भगवान्लाई देखेर तिनीहरू आएर प्रणाम गरे,
क्रमैसँग पूजा गरी प्रदक्षिणा पनि गरे,

and making the eight-limbed prostration with palms joined in joy,
to drink the nectar of that true Dharma, in that assembly on every side

र हर्षपूर्वक हात जोडेर अष्टांग प्रणाम गरी,
त्यो सद्धर्मरूपी अमृत पिउन त्यो सभामा चारैतिर

they spread out, keeping him before them, drawing near with settled minds,
and honouring that Lord of Sages as their teacher, sat gazing upon him.

घेरेर, उहाँलाई अगाडि राखी, समाहित चित्तले नजिक गई,
ती मुनीन्द्रलाई गुरुका रूपमा सम्मान गरी उहाँलाई हेर्दै बसे।

Then that Blessed One, seeing all of them gathered before him,
taught the true Dharma, setting forth the noble truths.

त्यसपछि ती भगवान्ले उपस्थित ती सबैलाई देखेर,
आर्यसत्यलाई देखाउँदै सद्धर्मको उपदेश दिनुभयो।

Drinking that nectar of the true Dharma, all of them were awakened,
and made gracious, desired to take up the vow of Bodhi-conduct.

त्यो सद्धर्मरूपी अमृत पिएर ती सबै प्रबुद्ध भए,
र प्रसन्न भई बोधिचर्याव्रत धारण गर्ने इच्छा गरे।

Knowing their wish, that Blessed Lord of Sages,
looking upon the path of the Bodhisattva, instructed thus:

तिनीहरूको आशय बुझेर, ती भगवान् मुनीश्वरले,
बोधिसत्त्वको मार्गलाई हेर्दै यस्तो उपदेश दिनुभयो:

Sons of good family, those who with faith and joy in the way of the Sugata
wish to go forth, let them go forth right here.

हे कुलपुत्रहरू, जो श्रद्धा र हर्षका साथ सौगत मार्गमा
प्रव्रज्या लिन चाहन्छन्, तिनीहरूले यहीँ प्रव्रज्या लिऊन्।

Those who here in Upachandoha, giver of every aim of Dharma,
go forth in the Buddha's teaching and keep the vow of awakening,

जो यहाँ उपछन्दोहमा, सबै धर्मार्थसिद्धि दिने ठाउँमा,
बौद्ध शासनमा प्रव्रज्या लिएर बोधिसंवर पालन गर्छन्,

all of them, freed from sin, their three spheres wholly pure,
free of defilement, stainless in self, Bodhisattvas with senses mastered,

ती सबै पापमुक्त भई, त्रिमण्डल पूर्ण शुद्ध भई,
निःक्लेश, निर्मल आत्मा, जितेन्द्रिय बोधिसत्त्व भई,

conquering the wicked hosts of Māra, celibate and steadfast,
attaining the threefold awakening, reach the state of a Perfect Buddha.

दुष्ट मारगणलाई जितेर, ब्रह्मचारी र दृढ भई,
त्रिविध बोधि प्राप्त गरेर सम्बुद्धपद पाउँछन्।

Knowing this, those in this world who desire perfect peace,
let them go forth into the Buddha's way and keep the vow with faith.

यो जानेर, यस संसारमा जसले सुनिर्वृति चाहन्छन्,
तिनीहरूले बौद्ध मार्गमा प्रव्रज्या लिएर श्रद्धापूर्वक व्रत पालन गरून्।

Hearing this instruction of the Lord of Sages, awakened,
the great beings seated in the assembly wished to go forth.

मुनीन्द्रको यो उपदेश सुनेर, प्रबुद्ध भई,
सभामा बसेका महासत्त्वहरूले प्रव्रज्या लिन चाहे।

Then four hundred brahmins led by Guṇadhvaja,
and three hundred Kṣatriyas, the givers of protection,

त्यसपछि गुणध्वजलगायत चार सय ब्राह्मणहरू,
र तीन सय क्षत्रियहरू, अभयदाताहरू,

and many other great beings, Vaiśyas and Śūdras and good people,
all of them, made serene, wished to go forth.

र अन्य धेरै महासत्त्व, वैश्य र शूद्र तथा सज्जनहरू,
ती सबै प्रसन्न भई प्रव्रज्या लिन चाहे।

Then all of them rose and came forward with folded hands,
and bowing to that Blessed One, made this request with reverence:

त्यसपछि ती सबै उठेर हात जोडेर अगाडि आए,
र ती भगवान्लाई प्रणाम गरी आदरपूर्वक यस्तो प्रार्थना गरे:

Blessed Lord, Omniscient One, holding your command,
we wish to go forth in the Buddha's teaching and keep the vow.

भगवन्, नाथ, सर्वज्ञ, तपाईंको आज्ञा शिरोपर गरी,
हामी बौद्ध शासनमा प्रव्रज्या लिएर व्रत पालन गर्न चाहन्छौँ।

Blessed One, may you look upon us all with compassionate eyes,
and coming to us, set us to the practice of the true Dharma.

भगवन्, कृपादृष्टिले हामी सबैलाई हेर्नुहोस्,
र हामीकहाँ आएर सद्धर्ममा नियुक्त गर्नुहोस्।

Thus entreated by them all, that Blessed Lord of Sages,
looking upon all those of right mind, addressed them and instructed thus:

ती सबैले यसरी प्रार्थना गरेपछि, ती भगवान् मुनीश्वरले,
ती सबै सन्मतिलाई हेर्दै सम्बोधन गरी यस्तो उपदेश दिनुभयो:

If you wish to go forth here in the Sugata's Dharma,
then having gone forth, practise the Sugata's vow everywhere.

यदि तिमीहरू यहाँ सौगत धर्ममा प्रव्रज्या लिन चाहन्छौ भने,
प्रव्रज्या लिएर सबैतिर सौगत व्रत आचरण गर।

Having so instructed, that Perfect Buddha, touching their heads with his hand,
received them all with reverence into the Sugata's Dharma.

यसरी उपदेश दिएर, ती सम्बुद्धले हातले तिनका शिर छोएर,
ती सबैलाई आदरपूर्वक सौगत धर्ममा ग्रहण गर्नुभयो।

Then, their hair shaved off and clothed in ochre robes,
taking the khakkhara staff and the bowl, all of them became monks.

त्यसपछि केश खौरेर, रातो चीवर धारण गरी,
खिखिरी र पात्र लिएर, ती सबै भिक्षु भए।

Then that Blessed One, teaching those renunciates the true Dharmas
that lead to perfect awakening, bestowed on them the vow of the Bodhisattva.

त्यसपछि ती भगवान्ले ती यतिहरूलाई सम्यक् सम्बोधितर्फ लैजाने
सद्धर्महरूको उपदेश दिई बोधिसंवर प्रदान गर्नुभयो।

Then, stainless in self, free of defilement, pure in their faculties,
desiring neither honour nor gain, unattached and without stain,

त्यसपछि निर्मल आत्मा भई, निःक्लेश, विमल इन्द्रियका भई,
सत्कार र लाभको इच्छा नगर्ने, असंग र निरञ्जन भई,

treating themselves and others alike, without craving for worldly wandering,
unattached to the ways of Māra, holding a clod of earth and gold as equal,

आफू र अरूलाई समान व्यवहार गर्ने, भवगतिमा निस्पृह,
मारचर्यामा अनासक्त, ढिक्का र सुनलाई समान ठान्ने,

free of the defilements, stainless in self, their three spheres wholly pure,
they became Arhats of noble conduct, celibate practitioners.

क्लेशरहित, निर्मल आत्मा, त्रिमण्डल पूर्ण शुद्ध भई,
तिनीहरू भद्राचारी अर्हत, ब्रह्मचारी भए।

Then all those Buddhist renunciates, walkers of the path of awakening,
doing good to all beings, moved always in what is good.

त्यसपछि ती सबै बौद्ध यति, बोधिचारीहरूले,
सबै प्राणीको हित गर्दै सधैँ शुभमा प्रवृत्त भए।

Then, pure in self, possessed of the five higher knowledges and great power,
they became worthy of homage and worship, teachers of the worlds and of the gods.

त्यसपछि विशुद्ध आत्मा भई, पञ्चाभिज्ञा र महर्द्धिले युक्त भई,
तिनीहरू वन्द्य र पूज्य, लोक तथा देवताहरूका गुरु भए।

And at that time there, upon the summit of the hill of Śaṅkha,
stainless water flowed forth from the thumb of Vajrasattva.

र त्यस बेला त्यहाँ, शंख पर्वतको शिखरमा,
वज्रसत्त्वको हातको अँठाबाट निर्मल जल बग्न थाल्यो।

That marvellous flowing became a great and holy river,
which for all the worlds became the giver of the fourfold fruit.

त्यो अद्भुत प्रवाह एक महान् पुण्यतीर्थ नदी बन्यो,
जुन सबै लोकका लागि चतुर्वर्गफल दिने भयो।

And further, by the words of the Dharma taught by that protector Krakucchanda,
that river was made exceedingly holy.

र थप, ती रक्षक क्रकुच्छन्दले दिनुभएको धर्मदेशनाका वचनहरूले,
त्यो नदी अत्यन्त पवित्र भयो।

For that reason she became renowned as Vāgmatī, foremost of all holy rivers,
upholder of glory and virtue, purifier of every sin.

त्यसै कारणले उनी सबै तीर्थमा अग्रणी वाग्मती भनी प्रसिद्ध भइन्,
भद्रश्री र गुणकी धारक, सबै पापकी विशोधिनी।

Those who bathe there according to the rule, and make offering to the ancestors and gods,
and give gifts and the rest, and keep the vow,

जसले त्यहाँ विधिअनुसार स्नान गरी, पितृ र देवताको तर्पण गरी,
दान आदि दिई, र व्रत पनि गर्छन्,

they, stainless in self and endowed with glory and true virtue,
having enjoyed happiness at will, go to the abode of the Jina.

तिनीहरू निर्मल आत्मा भई, भद्रश्री र सद्गुणले युक्त भई,
इच्छाअनुसार सुख भोगेर जिनालय पुग्छन्।

Knowing this, bathe there always, make offering to the ancestors,
give gifts and keep the vow, and move for the welfare of the world.

यो जानेर, त्यहाँ सधैँ स्नान गर, पितृतर्पण गर,
दान र व्रत गर, र जगत्को हितमा लाग।

By the mere sight of her, by drinking even a little of her water,
and even by touching her, all sins are destroyed.

उनको दर्शनमात्रले, उनको जल थोरै पिउँदा पनि,
र स्पर्शमात्रले पनि सबै पापहरू नष्ट हुन्छन्।

And by washing the face there one gains the fruit of bathing in the Ganges;
and by mere contact the six senses are made pure.

र त्यहाँ मुख धोए गंगास्नानको फल पाइन्छ;
र स्पर्शमात्रले छवटै इन्द्रिय शुद्ध हुन्छन्।

Thus exceedingly great is the merit that springs from worshipping the Vāgmatī;
she is declared by the Jinas to be the foremost of all holy rivers.

यसरी वाग्मतीको भजनबाट उत्पन्न हुने पुण्य अत्यन्त महान् छ;
जिनहरूद्वारा उनी सबै तीर्थमा उत्तम भनी घोषित छिन्।

Knowing this, those in this world who desire what is always good,
let them worship the Vāgmatī, the vessel of glory and happiness, always.

यो जानेर, यस संसारमा जसले सधैँ शुभ चाहन्छन्,
तिनीहरूले श्री र सुखकी आधार वाग्मतीको सदा भजन गरून्।

And yet another river arose, springing likewise from his hand,
and she too was made holy by the words of Krakucchanda.

र अर्को एउटा नदी पनि उत्पन्न भयो, त्यही हातबाट,
र उनी पनि क्रकुच्छन्दका वचनले पवित्र भइन्।

The hair, beards and nails of those who had gone forth
were divided into two portions, and one portion was cast into her.

प्रव्रज्या लिएकाहरूका केश, दाह्री र नङहरू
दुई भागमा बाँडेर, एक भाग त्यसमा हालियो।

From that time that great river became renowned as Keśāvatī;
and the other portion was placed there upon the rock.

त्यस बेलादेखि त्यो महानदी केशावती भनी प्रसिद्ध भइन्;
र अर्को भाग त्यहीँ शिलामा राखियो।

As many as were the hairs and beards, so many upon that rock
caityas appeared, and they stand there to this day.

जति केश र दाह्री थिए, त्यति नै त्यो शिलामा
चैत्यहरू प्रकट भए, र ती आजसम्म त्यहीँ छन्।

That river too became renowned as a great holy ford like the Vāgmatī,
through the power of the great merit of those who had gone forth.

त्यो नदी पनि वाग्मतीजस्तै महातीर्थ भनी प्रसिद्ध भइन्,
प्रव्रज्या लिएकाहरूको महान् पुण्यको प्रभावले।

And of those who had gone forth, the monks and celibate practitioners,
the fame of their merit spread abroad on every side.

र प्रव्रज्या लिएका ती भिक्षु र ब्रह्मचारीहरूको
पुण्यको महाकीर्तिको ध्वनि सबैतिर फैलियो।

Thereafter eight Vītarāgas, without support, free of passion,
forms of light and without shape, appeared for the welfare of the world.

त्यसपछि आठ वीतराग, निराश्रय, रागरहित,
ज्योतिस्वरूप र निराकार, जगत्को हितका लागि प्रकट भए।

One on the flank of Śaṅkhagiri, near the hermitage of Maṇicūḍa,
renowned as Maṇiliṅga, and it stands established there to this day.

एउटा शंखगिरिको छेउमा, मणिचूडाश्रमको नजिक,
मणिलिङ्ग भनी प्रसिद्ध, जुन आजसम्म त्यहीँ प्रतिष्ठित छ।

The second arose at Gokarṇa, in the form of light;
the third at Cārugiri, and the fourth at Kumbhatīrtha;

दोस्रो गोकर्णमा ज्योतिको रूपमा उत्पन्न भयो;
तेस्रो चारुगिरिमा, र चौथो कुम्भतीर्थमा;

the fifth at Phaṇiśaila, the sixth at Gartaka,
the seventh at Gandhavatī, and the eighth at Vikramasthala.

पाँचौँ फणिशैलमा, छैटौँ गर्तकमा,
सातौँ गन्धवतीमा, र आठौँ विक्रमस्थलमा।

These eight great lords, free of passion and without stain,
forms of light and without shape, appeared for the welfare of the world.

यी आठ महादेव, वीतराग र निरञ्जन,
ज्योतिस्वरूप र निराकार, जगत्को हितका लागि प्रकट भए।

Here, by the power of these dispassionate ones, on every side
the ground became lovely, foremost among all the seats of power on earth.

यहाँ यी वीतरागहरूको प्रभावले चारैतिर
भूमि रमणीय बनी, पृथ्वीका सबै पीठमध्ये उत्तम भयो।

At that time there was one of great wealth, born in the line of Mahāsammata,
compassionate and kind, noble in heart, a Bodhisattva, who became king.

त्यस बेला महासम्मत वंशमा जन्मेका एक महाधनी,
कृपालु र करुणामय, भद्रात्मा, बोधिसत्त्व, राजा भए।

That lord of kings came here together with the protector Krakucchanda,
to behold Swayambhu and Khagānanā.

ती नृपराजेन्द्र रक्षक क्रकुच्छन्दसँगै यहाँ आए,
स्वयम्भू र खगाननाको दर्शन गर्न।

Seeing from afar that Swayambhu, the abode of the Jina,
he bowed, drew near, and made three circumambulations,

टाढैबाट त्यो स्वयम्भू जिनालयलाई देखेर,
उनले प्रणाम गरी नजिक गई तीन प्रदक्षिणा गरे,

Then, worshipping with great festivity this one whose nature is the five Jinas,
the king became serene, and the mind of awakening arose in him.

त्यसपछि पञ्चजिनस्वरूप यसको महोत्साहका साथ पूजा गरी,
ती भूपति प्रसन्न भए, र तिनमा बोधिचित्त उत्पन्न भयो।

Bowing with the eight limbs, he worshipped and took refuge.
Then that lord of kings likewise came to Mañjudeva, the true guru,

अष्टांग प्रणाम गरी उनले भजन गरी शरण लिए।
त्यसपछि ती राजेन्द्र त्यसरी नै सद्गुरु मञ्जुदेवकहाँ आए,

and worshipping him according to the rule, honoured him with great delight.
Then that lord of kings likewise came to Khagānanā, Lady of the Jinas,

र विधिअनुसार पूजा गरी अत्यन्त प्रमुदित भई भजन गरे।
त्यसपछि ती राजेन्द्र त्यसरी नै जिनेश्वरी खगाननाकहाँ आए,

and worshipping her according to the rule, honoured her joyfully with great festivity.
Then, beholding the eight Vītarāgas, all bowed to Swayambhu,

र विधिअनुसार पूजा गरी महोत्साहका साथ हर्षपूर्वक भजन गरे।
त्यसपछि स्वयम्भूलाई नमन गर्ने आठ वीतरागलाई देखेर,

the king rejoiced and worshipped them too with great festivity.
By the power of that merit, that accomplished one, rich in merit and intention,

ती राजा आनन्दित भई तिनको पनि महोत्साहका साथ भजन गरे।
त्यो पुण्यको प्रभावले, ती कृती, महान् पुण्याशयले युक्त भई,

shone as a sovereign lord of all Dharma and master of all the worlds,
a king who was master of all knowledge, a vessel of glory and true virtue.

सर्वधर्माधिराजेन्द्र र सर्वलोकाधिपति भई चम्किए,
सर्वविद्याधिपति राजा, भद्रश्री र सद्गुणका आश्रय।

By that he became renowned and resplendent under the name Dharmākara.
Then that great king, wishing in his heart to settle here,

त्यसैले उनी धर्माकर नामले प्रसिद्ध र विराजमान भए।
त्यसपछि ती महाराजाले मनमा यहाँ बस्ने इच्छा गरी,

bowed to that Lord of Sages Krakucchanda and made this known:
Blessed One, may the Teacher know what I desire,

ती मुनीन्द्र क्रकुच्छन्दलाई प्रणाम गरी यसो निवेदन गरे:
भगवन्, मेरो इच्छा शास्ताले जान्नुहुन्छ,

and granting me leave, be pleased to show me favour.
Thus entreated by him, that Blessed Lord of Sages,

र मलाई अनुमति दिएर अनुग्रह गर्नुहोस्।
उनले यसरी प्रार्थना गरेपछि, ती भगवान् मुनीश्वरले,

looking upon that king Dharmākara, instructed thus:
Very well, O king, great being, since this is what you wish.

ती नरेन्द्र धर्माकरलाई हेर्दै यस्तो उपदेश दिनुभयो:
साधु, हे राजन्, महासत्त्व, जुन तिमी यस्तो चाहन्छौ।

So remain here, protecting and awakening your subjects;
and settling all the people here, awaken them fully,

त्यसैले यहाँ बस, प्रजाको पालन र प्रबोधन गर्दै;
र यहाँ सबै मानिसलाई बसाएर तिनलाई प्रबोधित गर्दै,

establish them on the path of awakening and set them always in what is good.
Protecting all the people with Dharma, and yourself so living,

तिनलाई बोधिमार्गमा स्थापित गरी सधैँ शुभमा लगाऊ।
धर्मले सबै जनताको पालन गर्दै, र स्वयं पनि त्यसै आचरण गर्दै,

enjoy happiness at will and move for the welfare of the world.
Governing by the policy of Dharma and always doing good to the people,

इच्छाअनुसार सुख भोग र जगत्को हितमा लाग।
धर्मनीतिले शासन गर्दै र सधैँ लोकहित गर्दै,

accomplish the accumulations for awakening while living in the body.
Standing always in the refuge of this Dharmadhātu, the Self-Arisen,

शरीरमा बसेरै बोधिसम्भार सिद्ध गर।
सधैँ यो धर्मधातु स्वयम्भूको शरणमा बसेर,

worship him with faith and move for the welfare of the world.
Taking refuge in this goddess Khagānanā,

श्रद्धापूर्वक भजन गर र जगत्को हितमा लाग।
यी देवी खगाननाको शरणमा गएर,

worship her always and practise the vow of awakening.
Taking refuge in this Mañjudeva, the true guru,

सधैँ भजन गर र बोधिसंवर आचरण गर।
यी सद्गुरु मञ्जुदेवको शरणमा गएर,

hold the Buddha's instruction and live in the true Dharma.
And of these eight Vītarāgas as well, always

बुद्धको अनुशासन धारण गरी सद्धर्ममा आचरण गर।
र यी आठ वीतरागको पनि सधैँ

perform worship with faith, and accomplish the supreme Dharma.
And resorting to the holy fords, the Vāgmatī foremost among them,

श्रद्धापूर्वक भजन गर, र उत्तम धर्म साधना गर।
र वाग्मतीलगायत तीर्थहरूको आश्रय लिएर,

bathe and give gifts and the rest, pleasing the ancestors and the gods;
and having gained the purity of the three bodies, holding the mind of awakening,

स्नान र दान आदि गरी, पितृ र देवतालाई सन्तुष्ट पार्दै;
र त्रिकायको शुद्धि प्राप्त गरी, बोधिचित्त धारण गरी,

do good to all beings and dwell here at your ease.
Thus, O lord of kings, awakening all the people as well,

सबै प्राणीको हित गर्दै यहाँ सुखपूर्वक बस।
यसरी, हे राजेन्द्र, सबै मानिसलाई पनि प्रबोधित गर्दै,

establishing all of them always in refuge,
and setting them with reverence to worship, devotion and festivity,

तिनीहरू सबैलाई सधैँ शरणमा स्थापित गरी,
र आदरपूर्वक पूजा, भक्ति र महोत्सवमा लगाएर,

establish them on the path of awakening and set them always in what is good.
Doing this, O great king, with your heart set on awakening,

तिनलाई बोधिमार्गमा स्थापित गरी सधैँ शुभमा लगाऊ।
यसो गरेर, हे महाराज, संबोधिमा चित्त राखी,

hold the vow of Bodhi-conduct and move for the welfare of the world.
Smeared with that merit, you will become a son of the Jina,

बोधिचर्याव्रत धारण गरी जगत्को हितमा लाग।
त्यो पुण्यले लिप्त भई तिमी जिनपुत्र बन्नेछौ,

a Bodhisattva of great knowledge, a vessel of glory and true virtue.
Never at any time will you fall into an evil destiny anywhere,

महाज्ञानी बोधिसत्त्व, भद्रश्री र सद्गुणका आश्रय।
तिमी कहिल्यै, कतै पनि दुर्गतिमा पर्नेछैनौ,

but always born in fortunate states, prosperous, accomplished and wise,
glorious, master of every virtue, lord of all the worlds, and successful.

तर सधैँ सद्गतिमा जन्मिएर, समृद्ध, सिद्धिमान् र सुधी,
श्रीमान्, सर्वगुणाधीश, सर्वलोकाधिप र कृती हुनेछौ।

Fulfilling the accumulations for awakening in due order, with a settled mind,
always enjoying the great joy and ease of worshipping the Three Jewels,

क्रमैसँग समाहित चित्तले बोधिसम्भार पूरा गर्दै,
सधैँ त्रिरत्नको भजनको महानन्द र सुख भोग्दै,

pure in conduct, dwelling in the four Brahmavihāras,
free of defilement, conquering all the Māras, you will attain Arhatship,

निर्मल आचरणयुक्त, चार ब्रह्मविहारमा विहार गर्दै,
निःक्लेश भई, सबै मारलाई जितेर, तिमी अर्हत्व प्राप्त गर्नेछौ,

and attaining the threefold awakening, reach the state of a Perfect Buddha.
And all the people likewise, their three spheres wholly pure,

र त्रिविध बोधि प्राप्त गरेर सम्बुद्धपद पाउनेछौ।
र सबै मानिसहरू पनि त्यसरी नै, त्रिमण्डल पूर्ण शुद्ध भई,

become Bodhisattvas and great beings, always born in fortunate states,
holding the vow of Bodhi-conduct and moving for the welfare of the world.

बोधिसत्त्व र महासत्त्व भई, सधैँ सद्गतिमा जन्मिएर,
बोधिचर्याव्रत धारण गरी जगत्को हितमा लाग्छन्।

Conquering all the hosts of Māra, dwelling in the four Brahmavihāras,
free of defilement, stainless in self, without craving for worldly wandering,

सबै मारगणलाई जितेर, चार ब्रह्मविहारमा विहार गर्दै,
निःक्लेश, निर्मल आत्मा, भवगतिमा निस्पृह भई,

as Arhats, attaining the threefold awakening, they reach Buddhahood.
And now, of these eight Vītarāgas,

अर्हत भई, त्रिविध बोधि प्राप्त गरेर बुद्धत्व पाउँछन्।
र अब, यी आठ वीतरागको,

I shall tell the particular fruits of worship; hear it, O king.
Whoever bathes in the water of the Vāgmatī, always with a settled mind,

म पूजाका विशेष फल भन्नेछु; सुन, हे राजन्।
जसले वाग्मतीको जलमा सधैँ समाहित चित्तले स्नान गरी,

and worships these eight great lords, the dispassionate ones, always,
is purified in self by that merit, and endowed with glory, abundance and happiness;

र यी आठ महेश वीतरागको सधैँ भजन गर्छ,
त्यो पुण्यले विशुद्ध आत्मा भई श्री, समृद्धि र सुखले युक्त हुन्छ;

having enjoyed happiness always in this world, he goes to the abode of Śiva.
And whoever bathes the Vītarāgas of Swayambhu with clarified butter

संसारमा सधैँ सुख भोगेर उनी शिवालय पुग्छन्।
र जसले स्वयम्भूका वीतरागहरूलाई घिउले स्नान गराउँछ,

Whoever bathes those gods, the Vītarāgas of Swayambhu, with curd

उनी शिवालय पुग्छन्; र मह चढाउनेले ब्रह्ममन्दिर।
जसले स्वयम्भूका वीतराग देवहरूलाई दहीले स्नान गराउँछ,

goes to the world of Viṣṇu, the seat of glory, abundance and happiness;
and by bathing with sugarcane juice one goes to the station of the Vidyādharas;

उनी वैष्णव लोक पुग्छन्, श्री, समृद्धि र सुखको आश्रय;
र इक्षुरसले स्नान गराएर विद्याधर पद पाइन्छ;

with scented water, to that of the Gandharvas; with milk, to the station of the moon;
and with cool water one becomes pure in self, free of sin, clear in the senses.

गन्धोदकले गान्धर्व पद; दूधले चन्द्रपद;
र शीतल जलले शुद्ध आत्मा, निष्पाप, निर्मल इन्द्रियका हुन्छन्।

And whoever worships them with fragrant flowers of many kinds
enjoys every pleasure and rejoices as a ruler of men.

र जसले नानाविध सुगन्धित फूलले तिनको पूजा गर्छ,
उनी सबै कामसुख भोगेर मनुजाधिप भई आनन्दित हुन्छन्।

Worshipping untiringly with the finest bilva leaves,
one attains good everywhere, and the fruit of a thousand sacrifices.

उत्तम बेलपत्रले अथक रूपमा पूजा गर्दा,
सबैतिर शिव प्राप्त हुन्छ, र हजार यज्ञको फल पनि।

Whoever presents food offerings becomes long-lived, strong and a king;
and whoever gives a row of lamps becomes radiant and clear of sight.

र जसले तिलपात्र दिन्छ उनी दुर्गतिमा जाँदैनन्।

Whoever gives gold goes always to a fortunate state;
and whoever gives a cow of sesame goes to the abode of Śiva.

जसले सुन दिन्छ उनी सधैँ सद्गतिमा जान्छन्;
र जसले तिलधेनु दिन्छ उनी शिवालय पुग्छन्।

Whoever gives a tawny cow with her calf, her hooves silvered and horns gilded,
hung about with ringing bells, gains the fruit of a sacrifice.

जसले चाँदीका खुर र सुनका सिङ भएकी, घण्टीले सजिएकी,
बाछोसहितकी कपिला गाई दिन्छ, उनले यज्ञफल पाउँछन्।

Whoever gives a jewelled robe becomes rich in many jewels;
by the gift of cloth one gains cloth, by the gift of land one gains land.

जसले रत्नकञ्चुक दिन्छ उनी बहुरत्नवान् हुन्छन्;
वस्त्रदानले वस्त्रवान्, भूमिदानले भूमिवान् हुन्छन्।

Whoever sets going the great festival of drums, song and dance
attains divine hearing and becomes an attendant at Śiva's side.

जसले तूर्य, सङ्गीत र नृत्यको महोत्सव चलाउँछ,
उनले दिव्य श्रुति पाई शिवका पार्श्वचर हुन्छन्।

Whoever offers blue lotuses and sun-lotuses gains glory;
and whoever worships with bilva leaves becomes strong and accomplished.

जसले नीलोत्पल र अर्कपद्म चढाउँछ उनी श्री पाउँछन्;
र जसले बेलपत्रले पूजा गर्छ उनी बलिष्ठ र कृती हुन्छन्।

and with dhattūra flowers, warding off all harm, and with heroic resolve,
whoever worships all eight of them with every fragrant blossom

र धतुराका फूलले, सबै अनिष्ट निवारण गर्दै, वीरभावले,
जसले सबै आठको सुगन्धित फूलले पूजा गर्छ,

becomes glorious, fortunate and wise, a vessel of sweet fragrance,
of divine and surpassing beauty, beloved, rich in glory and true virtue.

उनी श्रीमान्, सुभग र धीमान् हुन्छन्, सुगन्धका आश्रय,
दिव्य अतिसुन्दर, कान्त, भद्रश्री र सद्गुणले समृद्ध।

Whoever worships those lords with flowers, leaves, fruits, roots or hymns
reaches the abode of the gods and moves there enjoying divine happiness.

जसले ती शिवहरूलाई फूल, पात, फल, मूल वा स्तोत्रले पूजा गर्छ,
उनी देवालय पुगेर दिव्य सुख भोग्दै विचरण गर्छन्।

And whoever makes circumambulation and worships daily with reverence
becomes beautiful, and at the end goes to the abode of Śiva.

र जसले प्रदक्षिणा गरी नित्य आदरपूर्वक भजन गर्छ,
उनी रूपवान् हुन्छन्, र अन्त्यमा शिवालय पुग्छन्।

And whoever with serene heart worships these great lords with hymns
goes to the world of the ancestors and gains the happiness of great joy.

र जसले प्रसन्न हृदयले स्तोत्रले यी महेश्वरहरूको भजन गर्छ,
उनी पितृलोक पुगेर महानन्दको सुख पाउँछन्।

And whoever utters their names and recites them with a settled mind
becomes glorious and of great knowledge, and at the end goes to the abode of Śiva.

र जसले तिनका नाम उच्चारण गरी समाहित चित्तले जप गर्छ,
उनी श्रीमान् र महाज्ञानी भई अन्त्यमा शिवालय पुग्छन्।

Whoever makes the eight-limbed prostration and worships those great lords
goes only to fortunate states, and never to an evil destiny.

जसले अष्टांग प्रणाम गरी ती महेश्वरहरूको भजन गर्छ,
उनी सद्गतिमा मात्र जान्छन्, कहिल्यै दुर्गतिमा जाँदैनन्।

Whoever remembers, meditates upon and utters even their names, worshipping always,
enjoys the divine nectar and delights in heaven at his ease.

जसले स्मरण, ध्यान गरी नाम उच्चारण गरी सधैँ भजन गर्छ,
उनी दिव्य अमृत भोगेर स्वर्गमा सुखपूर्वक रमाउँछन्।

And whoever, seeing them with serene heart, bows with folded hands in joy,
he too, enjoying the divine nectar, delights in heaven among the gods.

र जसले प्रसन्न हृदयले तिनको दर्शन गरी हर्षपूर्वक हात जोडेर प्रणाम गर्छ,
उनी पनि दिव्य अमृत भोगेर स्वर्गमा देवताहरूसँग रमाउँछन्।

Thus, knowing surely the particular fruit that comes from worshipping
these eight Vītarāgas, worship them as you wish.

यसरी यी आठ वीतरागको भजनबाट आउने विशेष फल
निश्चय जानेर, इच्छाअनुसार तिनको भजन गर।

So here upon this pure ground, found a city and settle in it;
establish all the people, protect them, and dwell here always.

त्यसैले यहाँ यो शुद्ध भूमिमा नगर बसालेर बस;
सबै मानिसलाई स्थापित गर, पालन गर, र सधैँ यहीँ बस।

Then people from every direction, filled with delight,
will come here, settle, and dwell always in joy.

त्यसपछि सबै दिशाबाट मानिसहरू प्रमुदित भई,
यहाँ आएर बसोबास गरी सधैँ हर्षपूर्वक बस्नेछन्।

Then districts, villages and cities as well,
and markets and trading towns, will arise on every side.

त्यसपछि जनपद, गाउँ र नगरहरू,
र बजार तथा व्यापारिक बस्तीहरू चारैतिर बन्नेछन्।

So too the gods and the lords of the gods, and all the guardians of the worlds,
coming here and beholding the Dharmadhātu, the Self-Arisen,

त्यसरी नै देवता र सुरेन्द्रहरू, र सबै लोकाधिपतिहरू,
यहाँ आएर धर्मधातु स्वयम्भूको दर्शन गरी,

Gandharvas, Guhyakas, Yakṣas, Kinnaras and Rākṣasas too,
Kumbhāṇḍas, Garuḍas, Nāgas, Siddhas and Vidyādharas,

गन्धर्व, गुह्यक, यक्ष, किन्नर र राक्षसहरू पनि,
कुम्भाण्ड, गरुड, नाग, सिद्ध र विद्याधरहरू,

Sādhyas and the Mother goddesses, and the hosts of Bhairavas too,
seers and yogins, renunciates and tīrthikas,

साध्य र मातृकाहरू, र भैरवगणहरू पनि,
ऋषि र योगीहरू, यति र तीर्थिकहरू,

disciples, monks and Arhats, cailakas and lay devotees,
Bodhisattvas and great beings, Śaivas and Kaulas and Vaiṣṇavas,

श्रावक, भिक्षु र अर्हतहरू, चैलक र उपासकहरू,
बोधिसत्त्व र महासत्त्वहरू, शैव, कौल र वैष्णवहरू,

coming here and beholding the Dharmadhātu, the Self-Arisen,
and the goddess Khagānanā, and Mañjudeva, the true guru,

यहाँ आएर धर्मधातु स्वयम्भू,
र देवी खगानना, र सद्गुरु मञ्जुदेवको दर्शन गरी,

and these Vītarāgas and the holy fords, through their power
are made gracious, and drawing near, worship them always with joy.

र यी वीतराग तथा तीर्थहरूको प्रभावले,
प्रसन्न भई, नजिक गएर सधैँ हर्षपूर्वक भजन गर्छन्।

Then here always, by the power of the merit of all of them,
there will surely be abundance of food, festivity and freedom from calamity.

त्यसपछि यहाँ सधैँ, ती सबैको पुण्यको प्रभावले,
निश्चय नै सुभिक्ष, मङ्गलोत्सव र निरुत्पात हुनेछ।

When the Lord of Sages Krakucchanda had thus instructed,
Dharmākara, hearing it, understood and said, so be it.

मुनीन्द्र क्रकुच्छन्दले यसरी उपदेश दिनुभएपछि,
धर्माकरले त्यो सुनेर बुझी 'त्यस्तै होस्' भने।

Then that king rose, and with folded hands, bowing to that Lord of Sages
Krakucchanda and to his community, made this known:

त्यसपछि ती नृप उठेर, हात जोडेर, ती मुनीश्वर
क्रकुच्छन्द र उहाँको संघलाई प्रणाम गरी यसो निवेदन गरे:

Blessed One, holding your command, I shall dwell here always,
founding a city for the welfare of the people.

भगवन्, तपाईंको आज्ञा शिरोपर गरी म यहाँ सधैँ बस्नेछु,
जनताको हितका लागि नगर बसालेर।

So may you look upon us with compassion, and here in the Himālaya
dwell always with your community, teaching the Dharma for the world's welfare.

त्यसैले कृपादृष्टिले हेर्नुहोस्, र यहाँ हिमालयमा
आफ्नो संघसहित सधैँ बसेर जगत्को हितका लागि धर्मोपदेश दिनुहोस्।

Thus entreated by him, that Blessed Lord of Sages,
looking upon the great being Dharmākara, said this:

उनले यसरी प्रार्थना गरेपछि, ती भगवान् मुनीश्वरले,
महासत्त्व धर्माकरलाई हेर्दै यसो भन्नुभयो:

I do not remain always in one place; I walk over all the earth.
For the welfare of all beings I am a giver of the Dharma.

म सधैँ एकै ठाउँमा बस्दिनँ; म सम्पूर्ण भूमिमा विचरण गर्छु।
सबै प्राणीको हितका लागि म धर्मदाता हुँ।

Having so instructed, that Lord of Sages Krakucchanda with his companions
then set out for other countries, teaching as he went.

यसरी उपदेश दिएर, ती मुनीन्द्र क्रकुच्छन्द आफ्ना सांघिकहरूसहित,
अन्य देशहरूतिर उपदेश दिँदै प्रस्थान गर्नुभयो।

Then Dharmākara, having built a city here,
established the parts of a kingdom and ruled, taking up the government.

त्यसपछि धर्माकरले यहाँ नगर निर्माण गरी,
राज्यका अंगहरू स्थापित गरी राज्य सम्हाले।

Then all came here and, in dwellings on every side,
took up their places, settled, and lived there in joy.

त्यसपछि सबै यहाँ आएर, चारैतिरका भवनहरूमा,
आ-आफ्नो ठाउँ लिई, बसोबास गरी, हर्षपूर्वक बसे।

Then others too came here from every direction and from all around,
and dwelt with joy in the districts, in the city and in many villages.

त्यसपछि अरूहरू पनि सबै दिशाबाट यहाँ आए,
र जनपद, नगर र धेरै गाउँहरूमा हर्षपूर्वक बसे।

So too the gods and their lords, and all the guardians of the worlds,
came here with their own retinues and dwelt here in joy.

त्यसरी नै देवता र सुरेन्द्रहरू, र सबै लोकाधिपतिहरू,
आ-आफ्ना परिजनसहित यहाँ आएर हर्षपूर्वक बसे।

So too the great seers, renunciates and celibate practitioners,
yogins, monks and Arhats, keepers of vows and lay devotees,

त्यसरी नै महर्षि, यति र ब्रह्मचारीहरू,
योगी, भिक्षु र अर्हतहरू, व्रती र उपासकहरू,

Bodhisattvas and great beings, cailakas and disciples,
made their hermitages in whatever place they chose, and settled there.

बोधिसत्त्व र महासत्त्वहरू, चैलक र श्रावकहरूले,
आफूले चाहेको ठाउँमा आश्रम बनाएर बसे।

So too other tīrthikas, Śaivas, Vaiṣṇavas and Kaulas,
made their hermitages in whatever place they chose, and settled there.

त्यसरी नै अन्य तीर्थिक, शैव, वैष्णव र कौलहरूले पनि,
आफूले चाहेको ठाउँमा आश्रम बनाएर बसे।

The solitary Buddhas too came from every side,
and dwelling in lovely secluded hermitages, lived there in joy.

प्रत्येकबुद्धहरू पनि चारैतिरबाट आएर,
एकान्तका रमणीय आश्रमहरूमा बसेर हर्षपूर्वक बसे।

And the Lords of Sages too came and dwelt here with their companions,
and coming swiftly, taught the true Dharma of perfect awakening.

र मुनीन्द्रहरू पनि आएर आफ्ना सांघिकहरूसहित यहाँ बसे,
र छिटो आएर सम्बोधिको सद्धर्मको उपदेश दिए।

Thus this land called the Himālaya became most holy,
lovely as Sukhāvatī, a refuge of Bodhisattvas.

यसरी हिमालय नामक यो भूमि परम पुण्यभूमि बन्यो,
सुखावतीजस्तै रमणीय, बोधिसत्त्वहरूको आश्रय।

And many holy fords arose here, removers of every sin,
givers of every aim, of abundance and of accomplishment.

र यहाँ धेरै तीर्थहरू उत्पन्न भए, सबै पापका हर्ता,
सबै अर्थ, समृद्धि र सिद्धि दिने।

So bathe in these holy fords and practise the true vow,
you people here who wish to destroy sin and gain what is good.

त्यसैले यी तीर्थहरूमा स्नान गर र सद्व्रत आचरण गर,
हे यहाँका मानिसहरू, जो पाप नष्ट गरी शुभ प्राप्त गर्न चाहन्छौ।

Those who bathe daily in all these holy fords with settled minds,
and performing recitation, sacrifice and the rest, keep the vow,

जसले यी सबै तीर्थमा नित्य समाहित चित्तले स्नान गरी,
जप, यज्ञ आदि कर्म गरेर संवर पालन गर्छन्,

and worshipping the ancestors and the gods with faith and reverence,
giving gifts with a settled mind, meditate upon the Lord and worship him,

र श्रद्धा र आदरपूर्वक पितृ र देवताको पूजा गरी,
समाहित चित्तले दान दिई, ईशको ध्यान गरी भजन गर्छन्,

they too, all of them, free of stain, their three spheres wholly pure,
become glorious and accomplished, vessels of true virtue.

तिनीहरू पनि सबै निष्कलंक, त्रिमण्डल पूर्ण शुद्ध भई,
श्रीमान् र सिद्धिमान्, सद्गुणका आश्रय हुन्छन्।

Then, practitioners of the Dharma for the welfare of all beings,
they become Bodhisattvas and great beings, sons of the Sugata.

त्यसपछि सबै प्राणीको हितका लागि धर्मसाधक भई,
तिनीहरू बोधिसत्त्व, महासत्त्व, सुगतपुत्र हुन्छन्।

Then, fulfilling the accumulations for awakening in due order,
and worshipping the Three Jewels, they move for the welfare of the world.

त्यसपछि क्रमैसँग बोधिसम्भार पूरा गरी,
र त्रिरत्नको भजन गरी, जगत्को हितमा लाग्छन्।

Then, stainless in self, free of defilement, their senses mastered,
as Arhats, attaining the threefold awakening, they reach the state of the Sugata.

त्यसपछि निर्मल आत्मा, निःक्लेश, जितेन्द्रिय भई,
अर्हत भई, त्रिविध बोधि प्राप्त गरेर सौगत पद पाउँछन्।

Knowing this, those who desire awakening should bathe
in all these holy fords, and give gifts and do such deeds always.

यो जानेर, बोधि चाहनेहरूले यी सबै तीर्थमा
स्नान गरी, दान आदि कर्म सधैँ गर्नुपर्छ।

When the Lord of Sages had thus instructed, hearing what was taught,
all the people gathered in the assembly rejoiced and were awakened.

मुनीन्द्रले यसरी उपदेश दिनुभएपछि, त्यो सुनेर,
सभामा उपस्थित सबै मानिसहरू आनन्दित भई प्रबुद्ध भए।
