Today, may all Bhagavan Buddha(s), take heed of me and remember me.
giving fearlessness – that means to offer something to allay the fear of others. For example rescuing a struggling animal from death. Accepting refugees.
Observe precepts purely means to practice the observance of Buddhist precepts concerning the guarding of our Action, speech and thought without any faults.
Purely means to have right motivation. That means we are observing those precepts with correct motivation. An example of bad motivation would be observing precepts very well but with an intention of gaining fame or regonition.

Note: Cultivation refers to nurturing of one's mind towards Enlightenment. Many people misunderstood that Enlightenment is just about gaining wisdom. However, if you study the Buddha's teaching, he mentioned that he had practiced the perfection of various virtues in his past countless rebirth. For example, the perfection of patience. Therefore, if we think we understand emptiness (thus we have wisdom) but we are still hot tempered and impatient, then something is wrong with our practice. Likewise, if you come across anyone stating that virtues and moral conduct are unimportant, then it is better to get a second opinion or get more alternate views from others.
Pure Cultivation also refers to the observance of Buddhist precepts. For example the 5 precepts, 8 precepts, 10 precepts, monastic precepts, Bodhisattva precepts etc.
Purely means we practice or observe them without a selfish motivation. It aslo means we practice without fault. For example, if we observe the precept to refrain from alcoholic drink, then we have to make sure we do not drink.
The word root causes is taken from the context of Karma. Whatever action, speech and thought we have is known as Karma. These karma are the primary cause of a future result, that will manifest when the conditions are present.
So root cause can also be understood as the primary cause of a future event.
Note: Accomplishment here refers to accomplishing enlightenment or some other spiritual practices relating to attaining enlightenment or virtuousness.
Cultivation of ultimate wisdom means cultivation towards Enlightenment. It also place emphasis on holding the right views and right understanding. For example holding the belief of Karma. It also include any aspiration of gaining supreme ultimate wisdom.
Annutara Samyaksambodhi means unexcelled complete Enlightenment. Such enlightenment is attributable to the Buddha only.
Likewise I follow their example and dedicate accordingly too.
