菩薩三萬二千，皆神通菩薩。一切大聖，能隨俗化。佛所住者，皆已得住。為法城塹，護持正法。為師子吼，十方聞聲。眾人不請，祐而安之。興隆三寶，能使不絕。 |

菩薩三萬二千，眾所知識。大智本行，皆悉成就。諸佛威神之所建立。為護法城，受持正法。能師子吼，名聞十方。眾人不請，友而安之。紹隆三寶，能使不絕。 |
| 玄奘譯 |
菩薩摩訶薩三萬二千，皆為一切眾望所識。大神通業，修已成辦。諸佛威德，常所加持。善護法城，能攝正法。為大師子吼聲敷演，美音遐振，周遍十方。為諸眾生不請善友，紹三寶種，能使不絕。 |
| 英譯 |
Also to be found there were thirty-two thousand Bodhisattvas bodhisattvas who are great beings; universally known; devoted to the exercise of the great super-knowledges; upheld by the supernatural action of the Buddhas; guardians of the town of the Law; roaring the lion’s roar in response to the cry echoing in the ten regions; having become, without being asked the good friends of all beings; refraining from interrupting the lineage of the triple jewel. |
| 現代漢譯 |
有三萬二千菩薩，都是大家所知道的，全都精於神通修行，為佛的威神力所加持。〔他們〕是正法之城的保護者，完全掌握正法，能發出大獅子吼般的聲音，聲音響徹四方。〔他們〕是一切眾生不需勸請的好友，能使三寶的傳承綿延不斷。 |
