Sutra:
Boundless trees of various shapes and forms
All appear beneath the Bodhi King of Trees.
Vajra-colored Cloud awakened to this door
And delights in constant contemplation of the Tree of the Way.
The boundaries of the ten directions cannot be grasped.
The wisdom of the Buddha as he sits in the Way-place is the same.
Lotus Flower Step Brilliance brought forth a mind of pure faith
And rejoiced profoundly upon entering this liberation.
Everything in the Way-place puts forth marvelous sounds
Praising the Buddhas' inconceivable pure strength
And bringing all causal practices to accomplishment.
This the Spirit Wondrous Light was able to hear and receive.

The boundaries of the ten directions cannot be grasped. / The wisdom of the Buddha as he sits in the Way-place is the same. Just as the worlds of the ten directions have no boundaries, the Buddha's wisdom is the same. The Way-place Spirit Lotus Flower Step Brilliance understood this door to liberation and brought forth a mind of pure faith /And rejoiced profoundly upon entering this liberation. Entering this door to liberation gave him deep joy.
Everything in the Way-place puts forth marvelous sounds. All Way-places broadcast wondrous sounds, praising the Buddhas' inconceivable pure strength / And bringing all causal practices of living beings as well as his own causal practices to accomplishment. / This the Way-place Spirit Wondrous Light was able to hear and receive and understand this principle.
Sutra:
Moreover, the Spirit of Foot Travel named Jeweled Seal Hand obtained the liberation door of raining down myriads of treasures everywhere and producing vast happiness. The Spirit of Foot Travel named Lotus Flower Light obtained the liberation door of manifesting a Buddha's body seated upon the throne of lotuses of all colors and lights, delighting all beholders. The Spirit of Foot Travel named Supreme Floral Cowl obtained the liberation door of establishing Way-places for the assembled multitudes of all Thus Come Ones in each and every thought. The Spirit of Foot Travel named Well-Seen Gathering In obtained the liberation door of completely subduing boundless living beings each time he lifts his foot to take a step.
Commentary:
Moreover, to continue the discussion, the Spirit of Foot Travel named Jeweled Seal Hand has a precious seal which can subdue all adherents of externalist sects. Spirits of foot travel have many legs, like centipedes and millipedes. People also walk on their legs, but these spirits also include such beings as those in the eightfold division. Mahoragas, for example, are spirits of foot travel. Beings who possess any number of feet—not necessarily two, four, six, eight, ten, or a hundred—are considered spirits of foot travel. These are spirits that walk on their feet. This particular spirit obtained the state of the Buddha, the liberation door, of raining down myriads of treasures everywhere and producing vast happiness. This spirit is skilled at giving. He makes all kinds of precious things rain down, and living beings are delighted to obtain them. This one gets a piece of gold, that one a hundred karat diamond, so they are happy.
The Spirit of Foot Travel is named Lotus Flower Light because he radiates such light. He obtained the liberation door of manifesting a Buddha's body seated upon the throne of lotuses of all colors and radiating all kinds of lights, delighting all beholders. Everyone is delighted to see him. He obtained this door to liberation.
The Spirit of Foot Travel named Supreme Floral Cowl obtained the liberation door of establishing Way-places for the assembled multitudes of all Thus Come Ones in each and every thought. In every thought, he sets up the Buddhas' Way-places and Dharma assemblies in lands thoughout the ten directions. He attained this door to liberation.
The Spirit of Foot Travel named Gathering In Good Views (sutra stated as Well-Seen Gathering In earlier. Should it be unified in same name?) able to collect all the wholesome views that living beings have. He obtained the state of the Buddha, the liberation door, of completely subduing boundless living beings each time he lifts his foot to take a step. Every time the Buddha raises his hand or lifts his foot, his intention is to tame and subdue living beings and make them happy. Not only does he tame one living being, he tames limitlessly many of them so that they attain happiness.
Sutra:
The Spirit of Foot Travel named Star-Banner of Wondrous Jewels obtained the liberation door of in every thought making appear all kinds of lotus net lights and raining down a multitude of treasures out of which come wondrous sounds.
Commentary:
The Spirit of Foot Travel named Star-Banner of Wondrous Jewels obtained the liberation door of in every thought making appear all kinds of lotus net lights and raining down a multitude of treasures out of which come wondrous sounds. His every thought is a treasury of Dharma. Therefore he can conjure up many kinds of lotus nets, not just one kind. These beautiful lotuses arranged in nets release boundless light, within which boundless Dharma treasures rain down. From within the lotus nets, the lights, and the treasures, wondrous sounds come forth that proclaim the profound, unsurpassed, wonderful Dharma in order to teach and transform all living beings. This spirit of foot travel obtained this kind of liberation door.
Sutra:
The Spirit of Foot Travel named Gladly Emitting Wondrous Sounds obtained the liberation door of producing a boundless sea of happiness. The Spirit of Foot Travel named Chandana Tree Light obtained the liberation door of using fragrant breezes to universally enlighten the assemblies in all Way-places.
Commentary:
The next Spirit of Foot Travel is named Gladly Emitting Wondrous Sounds. This spirit likes to sing songs and express Dharma by means of sounds. He obtained the state of the Buddha and the liberation door of producing a boundless sea of happiness. He emits boundlessly many wondrous sounds, and when living beings hear them, they feel tremendous happiness which is vast like a sea. He obtained this door to liberation.
The Spirit of Foot Travel named Chandana Tree Light also emits a fragrance like that of the chandana tree. He obtained the liberation door of using fragrant breezes to universally enlighten the assemblies in all Way-places. He uses his fragrant breezes to speak Dharma. When living beings get a whiff of his fragrance, they bring forth the Bodhi resolve—the resolve to seek enlightenment. All the assembled multitudes in every Way-place bring forth the resolve for enlightenment. This is the door to liberation that he obtained.
Sutra:
The Spirit of Foot Travel named Lotus Flower Brilliance obtained the liberation door of every pore radiating light which proclaims the wonderful Dharma sound. The Spirit of Foot Travel named Wondrous Radiance obtained the liberation door of emitting from all over his body many kinds of net-like radiance which illumines everything. The Spirit of Foot Travel named Amassing Wonderful Flowers obtained the liberation door of enlightening all living beings so that they bring forth an ocean of good roots. At that time, the Spirit of Foot Travel named Jeweled Seal Hand received the Buddha's awesome might, contemplated all the multitudes of spirits of foot travel, and spoke the following verse.

He extensively practiced the giving of offerings to all Buddhas.
