完全觉悟者所宣说的纯正法，具足正法与僧团，为无法比拟者，
Namassitvā pavakkhāmi dhātuvaṃsappakāsanaṃ;
礼敬毕竟，现以释示世间诸法缘起缘灭之理；
Tikkhattumagamā nātho laṅkādīpaṃ manoramaṃ,
祈愿往兰伽岛弘扬此法，
Sattānaṃ hitamicchanto sāsanassa ciraṭṭhitiṃ.
为众生谋福，愿佛法长远安住。

其中，至高无上者、脱转轮回者，被称为“往兰伽岛弘法之主”。彼者究竟脱离轮回苦海，遣除烦恼，成就俗世与超俗的究竟安乐，是至高护法者。世尊宣示完全觉悟之佛、法、僧三宝真实本质，应当效法前往兰伽岛弘法。初次到彼时，先登觉场，面向东方而坐，驱除魔军，照破世俗黑暗。初禅中忆昔生，次禅中观灭亡临近，三禅末了，洞察因缘而通达知识，证悟具十力、四无畏，遍具众妙资质的无上智慧，坐于觉场之地，认真修习七七日，至第八七日，尊坐于无忧树下，深观法理，身体虽衰老而不萎，得随喜百千万天人所护，伴有大梵天祇及诸天随侍，授以教诲，施以佛陀智慧之眼，阅视天下。凭借五部众比库及许多善知识之助力，起身前往拘尸那城，以别开生面的境界，十八万亿梵天供养之地，示现无上涅槃圣法轮，开转正法，贤劫五比库悉皆被确立为阿拉汉，并赐予贤劫佛子脉轮，彼日夜间，为一贵族子授予初果圣者果位，翌日复授阿拉汉果，及其四十五位随侍得阿拉汉果，因而世界现有六十六阿拉汉诞生。尊者于是教示比库弟子行脚修行，尔时自往乌鲁韦勒，跨过密林，入茶园，教化三十名贤童，批准其出家为比库。又往乌鲁韦勒，居于茶园，现神迹千百，脚下如莲花盛开，身披缠绕茂密荆棘发饰，安住是处。后半段，他侍奉摩揭陀国王者拘尸那城大献祭。然其心怀愿望：“愿大沙门于此会中现神迹，令我获利无碍。”此意产生后，于上座中得知此想念，应声修正，持戒严格，享用简单食物。乃于满月供日礼至兰伽岛而去。

于该岛南侧大河流域，长约三由旬之处，有一大龙族聚集的幽谷，幽谷中央高大土丘之上凝视空中，现地风昏暗，为其引起恐怖。骇怖者们惊恐地相问：“此行为何？”转头望去，遂见世尊端坐于空中。见得世尊，则离恐怖之境安住。世尊便告诫众生：
‘‘Sace tumhe abhayaṃ icchatha mayhaṃ nisajjaṭṭhānassa okāsaṃ dethā’’ti. Sabbepi te tassa nisajjaṭṭhānaṃ adaṃsu. Bhagavā nisajjāya okāsaṃ gahetvā tesaṃ bhayaṃ vinodetvā tehi dinne bhumibhāge cammakhaṇḍaṃ pattharitvā nisīdi. Nisinnova pana bhagavā cammakhaṇḍaṃ pasāresi.

「如果诸汝渴望无畏，且于我所坐之处，令诸汝得安稳。」诸众皆未得彼所坐之处。世尊即于所坐处取适当空间，令彼众畏怖消除，于所赐之地斩断碎革布，安然而坐。然世尊坐时亦展碎革布。诸夜叉恐惧不敢他往，周遍于海岸群居。师者凭其神通，于山岛间示现。于彼既立之处再次置放碎革布且折叠收纳。刹那之间，复有众天集聚。于众集会中演说法义。众多无量众生获无碍之法得安立于戒律。于须跋山，大须跋天已得须陀洹果，恭敬其当敬之世尊。世尊受其恭敬，以手抚其头，取发髻予之。赋诵后，绕行三岛，修持保护咒语，自复游至乌鲁维利山。其发髻由黄金缚结，置世尊坐处，建造镶嵌珍宝之塔，饰以琉璃宝石，焚香花环以供养而住。世尊般涅槃后，为沙利佛所亲近，已断烦恼的萨拉佛长老持神通，将佛舌置于印度蓝玉宝塔，安置起十二肘高的佛塔。天众名为天帝喜乐者次弟小无畏王子，见此极妙舍利塔，欢喜覆护，建三万塔以供养。复次，恶行国王大无畏覆护之，而造三十肘高袈裟塔。除佛舍利塔基座之主管人，应如此详悉其事。
Bodhiṃ patvāna sambuddho bodhimūle narāsabho
觉悟已成，正觉者于觉树根下，威猛如狮般的人，
Nisīditvāna sattāhaṃ pāṭihīraṃ tato akā.
端坐七日，未尝饮食。
Tato pubbuttare ṭhatvā pallaṅkā īsake jino
然后起立向北转身，尊者如铁床王，
Animisena nettena sattāhaṃ taṃ udikkhayi.
以坚定眼神远望七日之久。
Caṅkamitvāna sattāhaṃ cakkhame ratanāmaye
端详七日，眼光如宝石光芒闪耀。
Vicinitvā jino dhammaṃ varaṃ so ratanāghare.
胜者亲近所教导的至胜法，视之如宝库中最珍贵的宝物。
Ajapālamhi sattāhaṃ anubhosi samādhijaṃ
在修习正定中，七天七夜不间断地专注拥有，
Ramme ca mucalindasmiṃ vimuttisukhamuttamaṃ.
并且在迦罗王城的园林中，得享无上的解脱安乐。
Rājāyatanamūlamhi sattarattindivaṃ vasī
犹如国王居于宫殿之中，如同七夜一般宁静安住，
Dantaponodakaṃ sakko adāsi satthuno tadā.
当时天帝萨咖为导师献上甘甜的净水以供饮用。
Catuhi lokapālehi silāpattaṃ samāhaṭaṃ catukkamekakaṃ katvā adhiṭṭhānena nāyako.
四大世界护持者亲手制成石板，雕刻成四方形，作为教法的根基，导师立于其上安立教誓。
Vāṇijehi tadā dinnaṃ manthañca madhupiṇḍikaṃ
当时商人们将搅拌后的蜜团香油献上。
Tahiṃ pana gahetvāna bhattakiccaṃ akā jino.
那时，圣者取过之后，进行了用餐的事务。
Gaṇhiṃsu saraṇaṃ tassa tapussabhallikā ubho
那时，众多鹰鸟——种类为鹅身鹰和牛头鹰——，都来依止他。
Saraṇaṃ agamuṃ te taṃ satthu dinnasiroruhā.
这两类鹰鸟前往圣者所住之处，那是圣者所授予的栖息之地。
Gantvāna te sakaṃ raṭṭhaṃ thūpaṃ katvā manoramaṃ
他们前往圣者所在之国，修筑了佛塔，华美庄严。
Namassiṃsu ca pūjesuṃ dvebhātikopāsakā.
两位异姓居士来到，向佛塔致敬并供养。
Iti so sattasattāhaṃ vītināmesi nāyako?
于是，此七十七年间，我称念导师为引导者吗？
Brahmunā yācito satthā dhammacakkaṃ pavattituṃ.
被梵天恳请，世尊开始转动法轮。
Tato bārāṇasiṃ gantvā dhammacakkaṃ pavattayi
于是，前往巴拉那西，转动法轮，
Koṇḍañño desite dhamme sotāpattiphalaṃ labhi.
由瞿昙尼宣说法，得到了须陀洹果。
Brahmāno’ṭṭhārasakoṭī devatā ca asaṅkhiyā
梵天有十八千万亿众天及无数无量天人，
Sotāpattiphalaṃ pattā dhammacakke pavattite.
在法轮转动时，获得了须陀洹的果位。
Patto pāṭipade vappo bhaddiyo dutiye phalaṃ,
已得行持中正果，于第二果为上乘，

继次于三十童子，列于正乘群中。
Uruvelaṃ tato gantvā uruvelāya saññitaṃ,
然后前往乌鲁维拉，那里乌鲁维拉被驯服，
Uruvelenanuññāto uruvelanāgaṃ dami.
由不识其它处的乌鲁维拉人，驯服了乌鲁维拉那伽。
Taṃ taṃ damī jino nāgaṃ damanena urādigaṃ,
胜利者以驯服之力降伏了那伽及其余众，
Tathāgataṃ nimantiṃsu disvā te pāṭihāriyaṃ.
他们见到如来降伏之威神也得了增长。
Idheva vanasaṇḍasmiṃ vihāretvā mahāmunī,
世尊当时住于此森林边缘圣地，
Upaṭṭhāhāmase sabbe niccabhattena taṃ mayaṃ.

第二次出行时，觉者于第五年间住在祇树给孤独园大伽蓝，依靠着幼小无肚、大肚之母亲的亲族——那群龙族，凭依宝座，观见战斗再现之事。于是，身着袈裟，自主于阴历半月的戒日，前往龙岛，坐于其中战争的中央，俯视天际，制造黑暗。彼时，暗影笼罩，觉者随即显光，示现光明，为依止者们和合之因，像枝繁叶茂的果树般宣说法义。双方闻法欢喜，供养宝座予如来。世尊坐于宝座，饮用神水，心生欢喜，赞叹供养者。三亿众龙在供养处同持戒律。于此集会中，大肚之母的亲族中，名曰宝珠领主的龙王前来，请求觉者再为大家宣讲殊胜法义。觉者默然安住，默然答曰：「我至多祇树。」
Evañhi so nāgadīpaṃ upeto,
于是他奉命前往龙岛，
Mārābhibhu sabbavidu sumedho;
以慈悲庄严，智慧广大，成为魔王之主，

世尊在第三次远行时，于第八个雨季住持揭德林大寺。有言：我涅槃后，这塔庙将在铜叶岛上立住，成为众多比库、比库尼、近事男、近事女等圣众所尊奉的圣地，燃持皈依三宝之火不灭。我的四块舍利中，有一块分别为南眼藏、额藏和耶玛村的居民拥有，另一块则由一座楼阁守护，还有许多舍利与众多僧院道场皆将建成。佛法僧三宝的信众必将众多坚定。由此理由，世尊往锡兰岛，至达彼处后，思忖应当来访。于是召请阿难长老，说：阿难，向四种彻达的五百位已断烦恼比库们传达此意，我们应同往。阿难长老于咖毕拉瓦图之咖梨郡向五百五百位断尽烦恼比库报告。他们披着破坏烦恼的袈裟，顶礼如来，合掌恭敬。世尊时居于名为沙拉拉的香楼亭（不远处为楚色尼蓝鸾、莲花、荷花、水疏、白莲、青草池塘，合计一万朵），配有殊胜楼梯，置有观鸟亭，环境清幽，设多种树木，花、草、水果错落有致，景色极其迷人。在此处，得大德者、名为苏摩诺的大龙王，率领一万六千名龙子龙女围绕，观瞻如来金色光辉和形相庄严，内心生欢喜。他建立了自己的母龙明达纳达，在其所立的龙榻上行要，供养世尊。在池边坐禅。世尊集会后，近现代同行人等围绕苏摩诺龙王聚集。龙王命令抽取鲜花，并备上遮阳的莲叶蒲扇，为护卫世尊。在烈日如金山照耀之时，世尊端庄着袈裟，升空而去。比库众亦相继披袈裟升空，护卫世尊。世尊与五百断烦恼比库们于维萨卡满月的斋戒日，来到显著寺院中心，坐于最上乘的如来宝座上，与众比库共处。

此时，名为宝石眼的龙王，聚集诸天众，向世尊所率的比库僧伽供养诸天神食，安顿于一隅。世尊赞许后，显露于须弥山形之处，立于山脚间多足印迹的地方，日间修习多时长静止，地面震动，山河溪流震颤。即使诸天众放弃守护而退出，地面仍颤动。继而天子维萨罗鲁多受世尊嘱托守护，修成止息禅定，地面依旧震撼。然后，地天护持者诸天踵事增华，又入禅定。地面仍震。此时，地护持神护卫入禅定，至摩里车斋坛处，五百比库比邻同聚入禅。诸地依然震动。又有泥迦天护守，在迦叉耶村入禅定，地面持续震动。复有摩迦萨天护守，在大寺斋场入禅定，地面依然震动。名为宝石带的龙女来敬礼世尊，称其子为龙王苏摩诺。她言：汝子已在铜叶岛南方泽邦附近，通过入定及督持龙众后，达到佛陀面前，法难接近难得，愿听佛教导、集朝诸龙，享受富饶荣华。是以汝当守护此地。世尊闻知，赋予其高贵殊胜的异相，狮吼声震撼如青壮狮子，雷霆怒云如玺印宝珠坠落，八支法轮具足之声消散，随说妙法甘露为慈悲安乐，开导资深长老沙利子、目连等十万大优婆塞广大弟子，悉听此甘露法语而悦纳。吾无法于他处久住，唯愿汝守护此地。世尊言毕，起身升空，前往揭德林。
