Their practice of even one moment they can dedicate without bounds. Enlightening beings accoutrement various abundant in limitless numbers, prize elephants and horses, drawing carts, clothing, rare goods, all especially fine, or their heads, eyes, hands, and feet, or their bodies, flesh, bones, and marrow, they give to all in infinite worlds, filling the ten directions.
