Actually, I have not seen or heard other explanations, nor is it based on other (explanations). The slightly easier to understand parts, because of worrying about being cumbersome, have been summarized and told. This praise is, when the Supreme Master wanted to go to India's Sandalwood Mountain, at the request of Manjushri, he wrote this prayer including praise, supplication, and wishes for Maitreya. This is a statement from the 'Extensive Biography'. However, in the 'Secret Extensive Biography' it says: 'The true meaning praise of Mipham Gon, the essence and order of the meaning are clearly explained by Manjushri, and the words are carefully refined.' The praise of Maitreya mentioned therein refers to 'Praise of Maitreya, Jewel Lamp of Light,' which comes from the non-common 'Extensive Biography'. This praise is also similar to that, therefore, the previous offering and praise to Manjushri was not only because he is the Supreme and Excellent God, but also because he is the one who urged. It is said: By the holder of the earth of the words of the stable wheel, again urging the vast second ocean, the words of praise of Mipham Gon, possessing pure white light, when it rises, the wise twice-born greet it with a smile. Praise, supplication, and wishes, like the space in the hair of the great god, the water of excellent meaning with eight branches, gathered in one place, by the fortunate chariot, the connection of words is happily landed on the face of the earth holder. The virtues of the Dharma King's successor are like the sky, the good words of the Guru Father are like the sun and moon, my discriminating mind is like a firefly, although I want to enter, it is like the effort of a small bird. However, like abandoning the path of the gods and acting in the daytime, not only me, but others also proceed in this way. Although this is worthy of amazement and praise, I think it does not belong to the unreasonable. Therefore, if the intention is not wrong, then I confess before the impartial saints. May the good words be offered as a cause for generating joy, and may this virtue protect the true Dharma. This was done at the request of Kachen Tsultrim, who has vast wisdom in many scriptures such as sutras and mantras, and is full of perfect faith, by the one named Shedrup, who is located in the position of abbot of Chone Monastery. A biography possessing the qualities of a scholar, a virtuous person, and a good person.

May it be! The fame of his good name is clear throughout the world. He propagates the teachings properly through both explanation and practice. I prostrate with respect to that spiritual guide of mine. This garland of Brahma, a praise to Maitreya, is a hundred-petaled flower, Whose meaning is opened by the rays of scriptural commentary and reasoning. It emanates the fragrance of a billion wonderful and excellent meanings. That the intelligent bees are satisfied is thanks to your kindness. The great-grandson of that holy being, the learned one, Sonam Gyaltsen, motivated by faith, For the sake of spreading vast Dharma giving, this book is A portion of the pure virtue of being newly created. Whenever I enter the fifth path, May the holy Regent lead the way, In that Tushita, joyful, Dharma-holding pure land, May it become the cause for the collection of the auspicious connection of taking birth. Mangalam. The word commentary on the Praise to the Lord Maitreya called "The Crown of Brahma," the Source of the Conduct of the Sons of the Conquerors.
