......

 “复次,佛子!譬如娑竭罗龙王 Sāgara-nāgarāja,欲现龙王大自在力,饶益众生咸令欢喜,从四天下乃至他化自在天 Parinirmita-vaśavartin处,兴大云网周匝弥覆。
Moreover, Buddha's disciples! Like Sāgara-nāgarāja, to exhibit Dragon King's great natural strength, to benefit all beings and making them happy, from beneath the 4 Heavens to Parinirmita-vaśavartin, erects great cloud nets all around.

其云色相无量差别,或阎浮檀金光明色,或毗琉璃光明色,或白银光明色,或玻璃光明色,或牟萨罗光明色,或码瑙光明色,或胜藏光明色,或赤真珠光明色,或无量香光明色,或无垢衣光明色,或清净水光明色,或种种庄严具光明色,如是云网周匝弥布。
These Clouds have immeasurable or infinite differences in bright lighted colours, spread out like cloud netting.

既弥布已,出种种色电光。
Upon these spreading out, various coloured lightnings emerged.

所谓:
阎浮檀金色云出琉璃色电光,琉璃色云出金色电光,银色云出玻璃色电光,玻璃色云出银色电光,牟萨罗色云出码瑙色电光,码瑙色云出牟萨罗色电光,胜藏宝色云出赤真珠色电光,赤真珠色云出胜藏宝色电光,无量香色云出无垢衣色电光,无垢衣色云出无量香色电光,清净水色云出种种庄严具色电光,种种庄严具色云出清净水色电光;
乃至种种色云出一色电光,一色云出种种色电光。
Each coloured cloud emits one coloured lightning.

复于彼云中出种种雷声,随众生心皆令欢喜。
Further more, sounds of thunder emerged from these clouds, corresponding to all beings' hearts making them happy.

所谓:或如天女歌咏音,或如诸天妓乐音,或如龙女歌咏音,
或如乾闼婆女歌咏音,或如紧那罗女歌咏音,或如大地震动声,
或如海水波潮声,或如兽王哮吼声,或如好鸟鸣啭声,
及余无量种种音声。

既震雷已,复起凉风,令诸众生心生悦乐,然后乃降种种诸雨,利益安乐无量众生。
Following the thunders, cooling breezes making all beings' hearts develop joyful happiness, then showering down all kinds of rain to benefit and give peace to immeasurable beings.

从他化天至于地上,于一切处所雨不同。
From Parinirmita-vaśavartin to the ground, these rains are all different.

所谓:

于此郁单越雨种种华,名曰:开敷;
余三天下悉亦如是,然各随其处,所雨不同。

虽彼龙王其心平等无有彼此,但以众生善根异故,雨有差别。

佛子!如来、应、正等觉无上法王亦复如是,欲以正法教化众生,先布身云弥覆法界,随其乐欲为现不同。

所谓:
或为众生现生身云,或为众生现化身云,或为众生现力持身云,或为众生现色身云,或为众生现相好身云,或为众生现福德身云,或为众生现智慧身云,或为众生现诸力不可坏身云,或为众生现无畏身云,或为众生现法界身云。

佛子!如来以如是等无量身云,普覆十方一切世界,随诸众生所乐,
各别示现种种光明电光。

出生无量三昧雷声。

佛子!如来身云中出如是等无量差别三昧雷声已,将降法雨,先现瑞相开悟众生。

所谓:
从无障碍大慈悲心,现于如来大智风轮,名:能令一切众生生不思议欢喜适悦。
此相现已,一切菩萨及诸众生,身之与心皆得清凉。
然后从如来大法身云、大慈悲云、大不思议云,雨不思议广大法雨,令一切众生身心清净。

所谓:
为坐菩提场菩萨雨大法雨,名:法界无差别;

佛子!诸佛如来随众生心,雨如是等广大法雨,充满一切无边世界。

佛子!如来、应、正等觉其心平等,于法无吝,
但以众生根欲不同,所雨法雨示有差别。

是为如来音声第十相,诸菩萨摩诃萨应如是知。
