Then Kasyapa said in a gatha before the Buddha:
"Oh Great Holy One of the Gautama clan!
Stand up, I pray you, and tell us about the All-Wonderful Dharma!
Do not recline on the bed like some child,
or someone who is sick.
The Trainer, the Teacher of gods and humans,
lies between the sal trees.
The humble and the ignorant
"Oh Great Holy One of the Gautama clan!

Do not recline on the bed like some child,
or someone who is sick.
The Trainer, the Teacher of gods and humans,
lies between the sal trees.
The humble and the ignorant
may certainly say that he will
enter Nirvana.
They know nothing about the Vaipulya,
or what the Buddha does.
Like the blind, they do not see
the hidden storehouse of the Tathagata.
Only all the Bodhisattvas and Manjushri
well know the depths,
like a good archer.
All Buddhas of the Three Times [past, present and future]
rest on the Great Compassion.
What is the worth now of such Great Compassion?
Without compassion, there is no one called Buddha.
If the Buddha definitely enters Nirvana,
this is not the eternal, oh Unsurpassed One!
Take pity on us, answer our prayers,
bestow benefits to all beings,
and subdue all Tirthikas!"
Then the World Honored One, his mind of great compassion kindled, realized all the things that each being wanted to have, in accordance with [their wishes], to answer their prayers and bestow them benefits, raised himself from his seat, and sat cross-legged. His visage was shiny and smooth like a ball of molten gold. His serene face and eyes shone like the full moon. His form was pure, without any imperfection. A great light filled the sky. The light was as bright as that of more than 100 thousand suns. It shone over the east, south, west, north, in the four intermediate directions, the worlds above and below, and over all the Buddha Lands. It gave beings the torch of Wisdom, illuminated the gloom, and enabled 100 thousand billion nayutas of beings to live in the irreversible mind of Bodhi [Enlightenment].
