many devout persons will be of mean intellect and shortlived, so, let them accomplish their object by taking advantage of the work by your grace, like Manaka Muni Besides, let the ascetics be pleased by repeatedly hearing the Daśavaikālika Sūtra, which is like the pollen of the lotus of Sacred Knowledge." It is said,
कृतं विकालवेलायां दशाध्ययनगर्भितम् । दशवकालिकमिति-नाम्ना शास्त्रं बभूव तत् ॥ १॥ अतः परं भविष्यति, प्राणिनो ह्यल्पमेधसः । कृतार्थास्ते मनकवत् भवतु त्वत्प्रसादतः ॥ २ ॥ श्रुतांभोजस्य किंजल्कं दशवकालिकं ह्यदः। आचम्याचम्य मोदन्तो-मनगारमधुवताः ॥३॥ इति संघोपरोधेन श्रीशय्यंभवमूरिभिः ।
दशवकालिको ग्रंथो, न संवत्रे महात्मभिः ॥ ४ ॥ इति 1. Kritam vikāla-vélāyām daśādhyayana-garbhitam;
Daśavaikälikamiti-nämnă śāstram babhūva tat. 2. Atah param bhavisyanti prapino hyalpa-médhasan ;
Kritārthāsté Manakavat bhavatu tvatprasãdatah. 3. Srutambhojasya kimjalkam Dasavaikālikam hyadah;
Acamyācamya modantā-managāra madhuvrıtāb. 4. Iti saighoparodhena Sri Sayyambhava-suribhih;
Daśavaikāliko grantho na samvavré rahātmabhih. 1. Prepared during evening hours and containing ten chapters, it became a canonical work named Daśavaikālika.
2. Hence-forward, people will be of little intellect, so, let them accomplish their object ( Liberation) like Manaka by your grace.
