དེ་ལྟར་གྲངས་མ་མཆིས་སོ། ། སངས་རྒྱས་བཅོམ་ལྡན་འདས་རྣམས་ཀྱི་མཁྱེན་པ་ཡང་དེ་ལྟར་ཆགས་པ་མ་མཆིས་སོ། ། དེ་ནས་ཚོང་དཔོན་གྱི་བུ་མིས་བྱིན་གྱིས། དེའི་ཚེ་ཚིགས་སུ་བཅད་པ་འདི་དག་སྨྲས་སོ། །
He then said, “Lord, even if unsurpassed perfect awakening is difficult to attain and difficult to accomplish, there is a certain type of vigorous approach by means of which I can attain unsurpassed perfect awakening. I must not miss the opportunity to attain unsurpassed perfect awakening. Lord, if it is possible to realize unsurpassed perfect awakening by developing a motivation that is as vast as the number of grains of sand in the river Ganges, then may every single such mind of awakening come about, even if it takes as many eons as there are grains of sand in the river Ganges. Even if my head needs to be cut off as many times as there are grains of sand in the river Ganges in order for every such mind of awakening to arise, I will not abandon unsurpassed perfect awakening but continue to work enthusiastically to attain unsurpassed perfect awakening by means of this cycle of instructions. It goes without saying, Lord, that I will employ all means to fully realize awakening. Why will I do this? Lord, I will do this because unsurpassed perfect awakening is so exalted, the unsurpassed qualities of the buddhas are so exalted, and the knowledge of the lords, the buddhas, is so inconceivable, so unequaled, so unfathomable, so immeasurable, and so unimpeded that it cannot be easily comprehended even if one were to speak a hundred thousand million billion words to try to describe it.”
