English version: Ahead, the path was strewn with seven treasures (gold, silver, lapis lazuli, carnelian, agate, pearl, and amber), pearls, fragrant flowers, necklaces, and exquisite colorful ornaments, as abundant as clouds, filling the ground and the sky. People wept and shed tears, offering to the Tathagata's (another name for Buddha) seven-jeweled coffin, crying out in unison, 'Alas! Alas! We are without merit, unable even to lift the Buddha's sacred coffin. We are forlorn, where is our good karma?' At that time, the World Honored One's (another name for Buddha) great sacred coffin, in the void of the Sala (a type of tree) grove, slowly entered through the west gate of Kushinagar (the place of Buddha's Nirvana). At that time, all the men and women of Kushinagar, countless Bodhisattvas (enlightened beings), Shravakas (Buddha's disciples), and the multitude of Devas (gods), filled the ground and the sky, following the Tathagata's great sacred coffin, holding each other's hands, wailing loudly, beating their chests, sobbing, and shedding tears. Each held countless fragrant flowers, jeweled banners, and canopies, filling the ground and the sky, lamenting with sorrow, offering to the coffin. The city of Kushinagar, on one side, was forty-eight yojanas (an ancient Indian unit of distance) in length and width. At that time, the Tathagata's seven-jeweled coffin slowly flew in the air, exiting from the east gate of Kushinagar, circling to the right in the air, entering the south gate, gradually flying in the air, exiting from the north gate, circling to the left in the air, and entering again from the west gate of Kushinagar, thus circling three times. Then, slowly returning to the west gate in the air, flying in the air, exiting from the east gate, circling to the left in the air, entering the north gate, gradually flying in the air, exiting from the south gate, circling to the right in the air, and returning to the west gate, thus circling four times. In this way, it circled the city of Kushinagar seven times, both left and right. At that time, as the seven-jeweled sacred coffin was about to enter the city, all the people were weeping with grief, each holding countless exquisite fragrant woods, such as sandalwood, aloeswood, and various precious incenses, with clear textures and pure fragrances, pervading the world. They also held countless jeweled banners, canopies, fragrant flowers, and necklaces, arriving at the cremation site, offering with sorrow. At that time, the Four Heavenly Kings (Buddhist guardian deities) and the multitude of Devas wept and shed tears, each holding the finest sandalwood and aloeswood from the heavens, with pure fragrances inside and out, fragrant and pervasive, each holding five hundred pieces, as large as chariot wheels. They also held various precious incenses, jeweled banners, and canopies. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

、妙花、璎珞至茶毗所,悲哀供养;第二天各一千根、第三天各二千、第四天各三千、第五天各四千、第六天各五千及幡花至茶毗所,悲哀供养。尔时,色界、无色诸天惟有香花至茶毗所,悲哀供养。 尔时,一切世间大众各持微妙栴檀、沉水、香花、幡盖至茶毗所,悲哀供养。尔时楼逗涕泣盈目,哀悼无极,从诸天人乞妙香木、栴檀、沉水,足六千根,文理香洁,芬馥周遍,至茶毗所,悲哀供养。 阿耨达池四面纵广二百由旬,出四大河。佛初成道恒河北岸,一树栴檀随佛而生,大如车轮,高七多罗树,香气普熏,供养如来。其香树神与树俱生,常取此香供养于佛。佛入涅槃,此一檀树即随佛灭,皮叶俱落,神亦随死。有诸异神取此香树,送茶毗所,悲哀供养。 其地乃是三世诸佛茶毗之处,大觉世尊乘本愿力亦于是处茶毗。是处有诸往古诸佛无量宝塔,金刚不坏坚固之处。尔时,如来大圣宝棺渐渐空行,至茶毗所,徐徐垂空,下安七宝床上,其床一切众妙璎珞、无价杂彩以为庄严。 于是时顷,复经七日,尔时拘尸城内一切士女、无数菩萨、声闻、三十三天一切大众,悲哀哽咽,持诸幡盖、宝幢、香花,随从佛棺经于七日,以佛神力,一切天人无饥渴想,一无思食,唯见哀泣、恋慕如来 现代汉语译本:妙花(一种花名)、璎珞(一种装饰品)等来到荼毗(火葬)之处,悲伤地进行供养。第二天,他们各自供养一千根香木,第三天各自供养两千根,第四天各自供养三千根,第五天各自供养四千根,第六天各自供养五千根,并带着幡花来到荼毗之处,悲伤地进行供养。那时,色界和无色界的诸天,只带着香花来到荼毗之处,悲伤地进行供养。 那时,一切世间的大众各自拿着精美的栴檀(一种香木)、沉水(一种香料)、香花、幡盖来到荼毗之处,悲伤地进行供养。那时,楼逗(人名)哭得泪流满面,哀悼不已,从诸天人那里乞得六千根精美的香木,包括栴檀和沉水,这些香木纹理清晰,香气纯净,芬芳四溢,他带着这些香木来到荼毗之处,悲伤地进行供养。 阿耨达池(一个湖泊名)四面纵横二百由旬(长度单位),流出四大河流。佛陀初成道时,在恒河北岸,有一棵栴檀树随着佛陀的出现而生长,这棵树大如车轮,高七多罗树(高度单位),香气四处飘散,用来供养如来。这棵香树的神灵与树一同诞生,常常用这香气供养佛陀。佛陀入涅槃时,这棵栴檀树也随着佛陀的灭度而枯萎,树皮和树叶都脱落,神灵也随之死去。有一些其他的神灵取了这棵香树,送到荼毗之处,悲伤地进行供养。 那块地方是过去三世诸佛荼毗的地方,大觉世尊(佛陀的尊称)也凭借本愿力在这里荼毗。这个地方有许多往昔诸佛的无量宝塔,是金刚不坏的坚固之处。那时,如来大圣的宝棺渐渐地在空中移动,到达荼毗之处,缓缓地从空中降落,安放在七宝床上,那床用各种精美的璎珞和无价的杂色宝石装饰得非常庄严。 在这段时间里,又过了七天,那时拘尸城内的一切男女、无数的菩萨、声闻、三十三天的一切大众,都悲伤哽咽,拿着各种幡盖、宝幢、香花,跟随佛棺走了七天。由于佛陀的神力,一切天人都没有饥渴的感觉,也不想吃东西,只是哀伤哭泣,恋慕如来。

English version: Myohua (a type of flower), Yingluo (a type of ornament), and others came to the cremation site, offering with sorrow. On the second day, they each offered one thousand pieces of fragrant wood; on the third day, two thousand each; on the fourth day, three thousand each; on the fifth day, four thousand each; and on the sixth day, five thousand each, along with banners and flowers, to the cremation site, offering with sorrow. At that time, the gods of the Form and Formless realms only brought fragrant flowers to the cremation site, offering with sorrow. At that time, all the people of the world each brought exquisite sandalwood (a type of fragrant wood), agarwood (a type of incense), fragrant flowers, and banners to the cremation site, offering with sorrow. At that time, Lou Dou (a person's name) wept with tears filling his eyes, mourning endlessly. He begged from the gods and humans six thousand pieces of exquisite fragrant wood, including sandalwood and agarwood, which were clear in texture, pure in fragrance, and fragrant all around. He brought these fragrant woods to the cremation site, offering with sorrow. The Anavatapta Lake (a lake's name) is two hundred yojanas (a unit of length) in width and length on all sides, from which four great rivers flow. When the Buddha first attained enlightenment, on the north bank of the Ganges River, a sandalwood tree grew along with the Buddha's appearance. This tree was as large as a chariot wheel, seven tala trees (a unit of height) tall, and its fragrance spread everywhere, used to make offerings to the Tathagata. The spirit of this fragrant tree was born with the tree and often used this fragrance to make offerings to the Buddha. When the Buddha entered Nirvana, this sandalwood tree also withered with the Buddha's passing, its bark and leaves falling off, and the spirit also died. Some other spirits took this fragrant tree and sent it to the cremation site, offering with sorrow. That place is where the Buddhas of the past three ages were cremated. The Great Awakened World Honored One (an honorific for the Buddha) also used his original vows to be cremated in this place. This place has many countless pagodas of the Buddhas of the past, a firm place that is indestructible like diamond. At that time, the Tathagata's great sacred coffin gradually moved in the air, reaching the cremation site, slowly descending from the air, and was placed on a seven-jeweled bed. The bed was adorned with all kinds of exquisite ornaments and priceless colorful gems. During this time, another seven days passed. At that time, all the men and women in the city of Kushinagar, countless Bodhisattvas, Sravakas, and all the people of the Thirty-Three Heavens, were all choked with sorrow, holding various banners, jeweled canopies, and fragrant flowers, following the Buddha's coffin for seven days. Due to the Buddha's divine power, all the gods and humans did not feel hunger or thirst, nor did they want to eat, but only wept with sorrow, longing for the Tathagata. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
