SANGHAVARMAN'S CHINESE VERSION OF THE FOUR GÅTHÅS
IN THE SUKHÅVATIVYOHA (CHAPTERS 4, 9, 31, 44), WITH A LITERAL TRANSLATION.
1. SANSKRIT Text, Chapter 4, pages 7-9.
戒如:日光 聞來月 精容
1. O thou of eminent and bright countenance, whose power is endless, such a brightness as this is incomparable (in the world)! The brightness of the sun, moon, jewels, and pearls is all to be covered (as it were) just as a heap of black powder a. | 2. The form of the Tathagata is without an equal in the world, and the great voice of the fully-enlightened one reverberates in the ten quarters. His virtue, knowledge, strength, meditation, wisdom, power, and good qualities are matchless, most excellent and rare.
進三昧智慧威德無侶 容顏 超世無倫正覺大音響流十方 月摩尼珠光耀 皆悉隱蔽猶若聚 光颜巍巍威神無極 如是敬明無
