"Homage to you, best of men; homage to you, Ocean of learning; homage to you, O very wonderful and imponderable one, caretaker of the teaching of the Victorious One. (1)
Ah, the greatness of the teaching of the Buddha has been well manifested by you, today, performing this imponderable and wonderful service to the world. (2)
That teaching which was entrusted to you by the Fortunate One and by the wise and noble Kaśyapa, has now been made fruitful. (3)
Performing this great, very wonderful and imponderable service to beings, the greatness of the virtues of the Omniscient One is, today, mirrored by you. (4)
What is wonderful if the Awakened One, likewise, performed service to beings; for, indeed, he is omniscient, all-seeing and full of great compassion. (5)
This I consider more wonderful that you, being a disciple, did great service to beings, as did the greatly Compassionate One. (6)
Ah! with ease have I obtained profit; so, too, these people of Magadha, upon the welfare of whom that are so careless, you are ever intent. (7)
This teaching was fittingly entrusted by the Tathāgata to you, by whom, as by the Sugata, a very great wonder has been performed today." (8)
Thereupon, amazed at the greatness of the virtues of the Elder Ānanda, he called to mind the Fully-Awakened One and immediately did homage to him. (9)
"Homage be to you, Great Hero, Fully Awakened One, best of men; you, of whom even a disciple is thus ever intent upon the welfare of beings. (10)
His greatness has been highly and well proclaimed by the Tathāgata; as, with you, we think this assemblage of people not deserted." (11)
