English version: Because of this reason, even though one may fall into hells and the realm of hungry ghosts for many kalpas (aeons) and suffer, because the Mahayana (Great Vehicle) enters the ears at the time of slandering the Dharma (teachings), one rejoices in the Mahayana personally heard from the Buddha, and thus generates the unsurpassed Bodhi-mind (mind of enlightenment), ultimately attaining Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (unsurpassed perfect enlightenment). At that time, the lady said to the Buddha: 'The Mahayana you speak of, why is it called Mahayana? Why is it said to be Mahayana?' The Buddha said: 'Lady! Excellent, excellent! Lady, you deeply delight in the Mahayana. For this reason, contemplate it well, and I will explain the names of the Mahayana to you. Namely: First, it makes people deeply delight, this is called Mahayana. Second, it is immovable, this is called Mahayana. Third, it is without fault, this is called Mahayana. Fourth, it is immeasurable, this is called Mahayana. Fifth, it is like the four great oceans, this is called Mahayana. Sixth, it is revered by Garuda (golden-winged birds) and various kinds of beings such as Kinnara (celestial musicians), and Mahoraga (great serpents), this is called Mahayana. Seventh, it is praised by Gandharva (celestial musicians), this is called Mahayana. Eighth, it is respected by the devas (gods), this is called Mahayana. Ninth, it is relied upon by Brahma (creator god), this is called Mahayana. Tenth, it is revered by Indra (king of the gods), this is called Mahayana. Eleventh, it is protected by the Four Heavenly Kings, this is called Mahayana. Twelfth, it is offered to by the Dragon Kings, this is called Mahayana. Thirteenth, it is upheld by the Bodhisattvas, this is called Mahayana. Fourteenth, it accomplishes Buddha-nature, this is called Mahayana. Fifteenth, it is relied upon by the wise and noble, this is called Mahayana. Sixteenth, it is universally acceptable to all, this is called Mahayana. Seventeenth, it is like the king of medicinal trees, this is called Mahayana. Eighteenth, it cuts off all afflictions, this is called Mahayana. Nineteenth, it can turn the Dharma wheel, this is called Mahayana. Twentieth, it is beyond words and expression, this is called Mahayana. Twenty-first, it is like the nature of space, this is called Mahayana. Twenty-second, it ensures that the lineage of the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha) is not interrupted, this is called Mahayana. Twenty-third, it is disbelieved by beings of dull faculties, this is called Mahayana. Twenty-fourth, it transcends everything, this is called Mahayana.'

此三千大千世界六种震动，百千乐器不鼓自鸣，则于空中诸天雨花，无量百千天子皆发无上菩提之心；无量百千声闻皆发阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心。复有初戒菩萨未悟法者，皆已悟解。 尔时阿难白佛言：“世尊！此法何名？如何奉持？” 佛言：“是经名为‘大乘巨拏胜斯’，受持；又名‘说妙法决定业障’，受持”。 如来说此经已，阿难及功德庄严开敷花夫人，及诸天龙八部，皆大欢喜，持受奉行。 说妙法决定业障经 现代汉语译本： 这个三千大千世界发生了六种震动，成百上千种乐器无需敲击便自行鸣响，天空中诸天神纷纷降下花雨，无数的天子都发起了无上菩提之心（anuttara-samyak-sambodhi-citta，证悟成佛之心）；无数的声闻（Śrāvaka，听闻佛法而修行的弟子）都发起了阿耨多罗三藐三菩提心（anuttara-samyak-sambodhi-citta，无上正等正觉之心）。还有那些初受戒的菩萨（Bodhisattva，以利益众生为目标的修行者）以及尚未领悟佛法的人，都已开悟理解。 这时，阿难（Ānanda，佛陀的十大弟子之一）问佛说：‘世尊！这部佛法叫什么名字？我们应该如何奉行？’ 佛说：‘这部经名为《大乘巨拏胜斯》（Mahāyāna Juṇa Shengsi），应当受持；又名《说妙法决定业障》（Shuō Miàofǎ Juédìng Yèzhàng），也应当受持。’ 如来（Tathāgata，佛陀的称号之一）说完这部经后，阿难（Ānanda），以及功德庄严开敷花夫人，还有诸天、龙（Nāga，印度神话中的蛇神）等天龙八部（Devas and Nāgas，佛教中的八类护法神），都非常欢喜，信受奉行。 《说妙法决定业障经》

English version: This tri-sahasra-maha-sahasra-lokadhatu (three-thousand great thousand world system) quaked in six ways, hundreds of thousands of musical instruments played without being struck, and various devas (gods) in the sky rained down flowers. Innumerable hundreds of thousands of devaputras (sons of gods) all generated the mind of anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (unsurpassed perfect enlightenment); innumerable hundreds of thousands of shravakas (Śrāvaka, disciples who hear and practice the teachings) all generated the mind of anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (unsurpassed perfect enlightenment). Furthermore, those bodhisattvas (Bodhisattva, beings who strive for enlightenment for the benefit of all) who had newly taken vows and those who had not yet awakened to the Dharma, all awakened and understood. At that time, Ānanda (Ānanda, one of the ten principal disciples of the Buddha) said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! What is the name of this Dharma? How should we uphold it?' The Buddha said: 'This sutra is named 'Mahāyāna Juṇa Shengsi', receive and uphold it; it is also named 'Shuō Miàofǎ Juédìng Yèzhàng', receive and uphold it.' After the Tathāgata (Tathāgata, one of the titles of the Buddha) spoke this sutra, Ānanda (Ānanda), as well as the Lady of Merit and Adornment, Opulent Flower, and the devas (gods), nāgas (Nāga, serpent deities in Indian mythology), and the eight classes of beings (Devas and Nāgas, eight kinds of protective deities in Buddhism), all greatly rejoiced, accepted, and practiced it.
