时,世尊欲为阿难及诸大众重宣此义,而说偈言: “若能读诵此,  无边方便身;  利益多众生,  灌顶王怜愍。  假使我今说,  虚空可度量;  欲比校斯经,  不可得穷尽。  十方一切佛,  世中无上尊;  若受持此经,  悉皆供养彼。  十方一切佛,  断生死法王;  能持此经人,  名已供养彼。  十方诸世界,  除断十恶根;  闻此经典人,  能供彼诸圣。  我未来诸佛,  及过去如来,  现在十方中,  两足尊无上,  能作师子吼,  彼悉供养之;  能受持此经,  诸佛所宣说。  持资财供养,  此非正智人;  若能持此经,  供养中为最。  一切十方界,  满七宝行檀;  以供诸世尊,  劣持此经福。  若学此经典,  一如灌顶王;  此敬诸如来,  真实如中显。  我所说诸法,  诸佛不可得;  彼闻不惊怖,  即是供世尊。  此供养甚深,  世间无解者;  不取及不舍,  此供养最胜。  诸佛及诸法,  一切不取舍;  此供养最胜,  诸佛世尊叹。  往昔定光佛,  我供养此法;  此供最为胜,  为诸菩萨说。  于时彼佛边,  我持此供养;  彼佛授我记,  汝当得 现代汉语译本: 当时,世尊为了阿难(Ānanda)及其所有大众,再次宣说这个道理,用偈语说道: ‘如果有人能够读诵这部《无边方便身》(Wúbiān fāngbiàn shēn)的经典, 就能利益众多的众生,得到灌顶王(Guàndǐng wáng)的怜悯。 即使我现在要说,虚空(Xūkōng)是可以度量的, 想要比较这部经的功德,也是不可能穷尽的。 十方一切诸佛(Shífāng yīqiè zhū fó),是世间无上的尊者, 如果有人受持这部经,就等于供养了他们。 十方一切诸佛,是断绝生死轮回的法王(Fǎwáng), 能够受持这部经的人,名字就等于已经供养了他们。 十方所有的世界,都能铲除断绝十恶之根, 听闻这部经典的人,能够供养那些圣贤。 我未来将要成佛,以及过去所有的如来(Rúlái), 现在十方世界中,这两足尊(Liǎngzú zūn)是无上的, 能够发出狮子吼(Shīzi hǒu),他们都供养这些如来; 能够受持这部经,就是诸佛所宣说的。 用资财来供养,这不是真正有智慧的人; 如果能够受持这部经,在所有供养中是最殊胜的。 一切十方世界,都充满七宝来行布施; 用这些来供养诸位世尊(Shìzūn),比不上受持这部经的福德。 如果学习这部经典,就像得到灌顶王一样; 这种尊敬诸如来的方式,真实地在经中显现。 我所说的所有法,诸佛是不可得的; 他们听闻后不惊慌恐惧,这就是供养世尊。 这种供养非常深奥,世间没有人能够理解; 不执取也不舍弃,这种供养是最殊胜的。 诸佛以及诸法,一切都不执取也不舍弃; 这种供养是最殊胜的,诸佛世尊都赞叹。 往昔的定光佛(Dìngguāng fó),我就是用这种法来供养的; 这种供养最为殊胜,是为诸位菩萨(Púsà)所说的。 当时在那位佛的身边,我就是用这种方式来供养的; 那位佛给我授记,说你将来会成佛。’

English version: At that time, the World Honored One (世尊, Shìzūn) , wishing to reiterate this meaning to Ānanda (阿难) and all the assembly, spoke in verse: ‘If one can read and recite this scripture of the 'Boundless Expedient Body' (无边方便身, Wúbiān fāngbiàn shēn), They will benefit many sentient beings, and the Anointing King (灌顶王, Guàndǐng wáng) will have compassion. Even if I were to say now that the void (虚空, Xūkōng) can be measured, Trying to compare the merits of this scripture, it is impossible to exhaust them. All Buddhas (诸佛, Zhū fó) in the ten directions are the unsurpassed honored ones in the world, If one upholds this scripture, it is equivalent to making offerings to them. All Buddhas in the ten directions are Dharma Kings (法王, Fǎwáng) who sever the cycle of birth and death, A person who can uphold this scripture, their name is equivalent to having already made offerings to them. All worlds in the ten directions can eradicate the roots of the ten evils, Those who hear this scripture can make offerings to those sages. The future Buddhas that I will become, and all the past Tathāgatas (如来, Rúlái), In the present ten directions, these two-legged honored ones (两足尊, Liǎngzú zūn) are unsurpassed, Able to roar the lion's roar (狮子吼, Shīzi hǒu), they all make offerings to these Tathāgatas; Able to uphold this scripture, is what all the Buddhas proclaim. Making offerings with wealth and resources, this is not a truly wise person; If one can uphold this scripture, it is the most supreme among all offerings. All worlds in the ten directions, filled with the seven treasures to practice giving; Using these to make offerings to all the World Honored Ones (世尊, Shìzūn), is inferior to the merit of upholding this scripture. If one studies this scripture, it is like receiving the Anointing King; This way of respecting all the Tathāgatas, is truly revealed within the scripture. All the Dharmas that I speak of, the Buddhas cannot be obtained; Those who hear them without fear or alarm, this is offering to the World Honored One. This offering is extremely profound, and no one in the world can understand it; Neither grasping nor abandoning, this offering is the most supreme. All the Buddhas and all the Dharmas, neither grasping nor abandoning anything; This offering is the most supreme, praised by all the Buddhas and World Honored Ones. In the past, with Dīpankara Buddha (定光佛, Dìngguāng fó), I made offerings with this Dharma; This offering is the most supreme, spoken for all the Bodhisattvas (菩萨, Púsà). At that time, by that Buddha's side, I made offerings in this way; That Buddha bestowed a prophecy upon me, saying that you will become a Buddha.’

作佛。  若当欲作佛,  复为众生最;  应成就此路,  是名供养佛。  我如是供养,  今得成佛道,  洞达一切法,  堪受天人供。  所有诸佛法,  世间无上尊;  乘此最胜供,  诸供养中最。  证于佛境界,  智慧不思议;  能作师子吼,  如我今无畏。  作师子吼已,  得诸法自在;  解脱众生辈,  入无漏涅槃。”   尔时,世尊说此经已,善思童子及毗耶离,一切大众,天、龙、夜叉、乾闼婆、阿修罗、人、非人等,闻佛所说,皆悉信受,欢喜奉行。   善思童子经卷下 现代汉语译本: 若想要成佛,并且成为众生中最殊胜的,就应当成就这条道路,这便称为供养佛。 我就是这样供养的,如今得以成就佛道,通达一切法,堪受天人和阿修罗的供养。 所有诸佛的教法,是世间无上的尊贵;依循这种最殊胜的供养,是所有供养中最上等的。 证悟佛的境界,智慧不可思议;能够发出狮子吼,就像我现在这样无所畏惧。 发出狮子吼之后,获得诸法自在;解脱众生,进入无漏涅槃(Nirvana,佛教术语,指没有烦恼和业力的寂灭状态)。’ 这时,世尊(释迦牟尼佛的尊称)说完这部经后,善思童子及毗耶离(Vaisali,古印度城市名)的一切大众,包括天(Deva,天神)、龙(Naga,印度神话中的蛇神)、夜叉(Yaksa,一种守护神)、乾闼婆(Gandharva,天上的乐神)、阿修罗(Asura,一种好战的神)、人、非人等,听闻佛所说,都信受奉行。 《善思童子经》卷下

English version: If one desires to become a Buddha, and also be the foremost among all beings, one should accomplish this path; this is called offering to the Buddha. It is in this way that I made offerings, and now I have attained the path of Buddhahood, penetrating all dharmas (laws, teachings), worthy of receiving offerings from gods and humans. All the teachings of the Buddhas are the supreme and unsurpassed in the world; following this most excellent offering is the best among all offerings. Attaining the realm of the Buddha, wisdom is inconceivable; one can roar like a lion, just as I am fearless now. Having roared like a lion, one obtains freedom in all dharmas; liberating sentient beings, entering into the uncontaminated Nirvana (Nirvana, a Buddhist term referring to the state of cessation of suffering and liberation from the cycle of rebirth).' At that time, after the World-Honored One (a title for Shakyamuni Buddha) finished speaking this sutra, the youth Sudatta (善思童子) and all the great assembly of Vaisali (毗耶离), including Devas (天), Nagas (龙), Yakshas (夜叉), Gandharvas (乾闼婆), Asuras (阿修罗), humans, non-humans, and others, having heard what the Buddha said, all accepted it with faith and joyfully put it into practice.
