Thus by the virtue collected
Through all that I have done,

And may I be the nurse
For all sick beings in the world

To clear away the pain of thirst and hunger
And during the aeon of famine
May I myself change into food and drink.
May I become an inexhaustible treasure
For those who are poor and destitute;
May I turn into all things they could need
And may these be placed close beside them.
