Ballad of Earth Store

To end her mother's misery was her quest,
To end her mother's misery was her quest.
Her vows she professed, a filial child so blessed;

I return, I rely, on the Bodhisattva King of Great Vows.

He makes his home deep in the hell,s
He makes his home deep in the hells.
Well, it's dep in the hells that this Bodhisattva dwells,
He makes his home deep in the hells.

I return, I rely...

Ksitigarbha, Earth Store Bodhisattva has the greatest vows among the Bodhisattvas in the Buddhist pantheon. He vows to go down to the hells and not return until they are empty of sufferers.
