Having worshipped the jewel-triad, which causes the good of all beings, (this) collection of the essence of the law is told in order to destroy delusion.' H 4, unless it is a neuter noun, ought to be 4. This introductory verse is found in both MSS., but the Chinese version reads differently, viz. Salutation to all the Buddhas, whose knowledge is omniscience, and who are the teachers of gods and men, and to the laws preached by the immense and numberless Buddhas.
