beings' evil deeds create multiple barriers; The Buddha demonstrates sublime
principles to break through them, While lighting up the world with a bright
lamp: This truth Weapon Bearer can see.
The Buddha cultivated practices over oceans of
eons past, Praising all the Buddhas in the ten directions Therefore he has a
lofty, far-reaching fame: This is what is understood by Wisdom.
