和訳
衆生困厄を被りて、無量の苦身を逼らんに、観音妙智の力は、能く世間の苦を救いたまう。
神通力を具足し、広く智の方便を修して、十方の諸の国土に、刹として身を現ぜざることなし。
種々の諸の悪趣、地獄、鬼、畜生、生老病死の苦、以て漸く悉く滅せしむ。
真観、清浄観、広大智慧観、悲観及び慈観、常に願い、常に瞻仰すべし。
無垢清浄の光ありて、慧日諸の闇を破し、能く災いの風火を伏して、普く明らかに世間を照らす。
悲体の戒は雷震のごとく、慈意妙なること大雲のごとく、甘露の法雨を澍ぎ、煩悩の燄を滅除す。
諍訟して官処を経、軍陣の中に怖畏せんに、彼の観音の力を念せば、衆の怨悉く退散せん。
妙音、観世音、梵音、海潮音、勝彼世間音あり。
是の故に須く常に念ずべし。
念念に疑いを生じること勿れ。
観世音浄聖は、苦悩死厄において、能く為に依枯となれり。
一切の功徳を具して、慈眼をもって衆生を視、福聚の海無量なり。
是の故にまさに頂礼すべし。
その時に持地菩薩、即ち座より起ちて、前みて仏に白して言さく。
世尊、若し衆生ありて、是の観世音菩薩品の自在の業、普門示現の神通力を聞かん者は、まさに知るべし是の人は功徳少なからじ。
English Translation
If sentient beings are in great adversity,
And immeasurable pain afflicts them,
The wonderful power of the wisdom of Avalokiteśvara
Can relieve the suffering of the world.
Endowed with transcendent powers
And having fully mastered wisdom and skillful means,
In all the worlds of the ten directions,
There is no place where he will not manifest himself.
The suffering of those in the troubled states of being:
Hell-dwellers, hungry ghosts, and animals;
And the suffering of birth, old age, illness, and death
Will gradually be extinguished.
He who perceives the world with truth, purity,
And vast knowledge,
And with benevolence and compassion,
Should be ever longed for and looked up to.
He is a spotless pure ray of light,
A sun of wisdom that destroys the darkness,
A flame that withstands the winds of calamity.
He brilliantly illuminates the entire world.
His will, the essence of which is compassion,
Shakes like thunder;
And the mind of mercy
Is like a beautiful overspreading cloud,
Which pours the Dharma rain of immortality
And extinguishes the flame of desires.
In a dispute before judges,
Or fearful in the midst of battle,
If you contemplate the power of Avalokiteśvara,
All enemies will flee away.
He has a wondrous voice,
The voice of one who perceives the world,
A voice like Brahma's, a voice like the rolling tide,
A voice unsurpassed in this world;
For this reason you should always contemplate him.
You should have no doubt, even for a moment.
The pure seer Avalokiteśvara will be a refuge
When suffering distress or the misery of death.
He is endowed with every quality,
Sees the sentient beings with his benevolent eyes,
And his ocean of merit is immeasurable;
For this reason you should pay him homage.
At that time Bodhisattva Dharanimdhara arose from his seat, went before the Buddha and said to him: "O Bhagavat! If there are any sentient beings who hear of this chapter, 'Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara,' and these effortless deeds, the manifestation of the gateway to all directions, and the transcendent powers, know that their merit will not be little!"
