“Mañjuśrī, the lifespan of beings who hear⁴⁹ the one hundred and eight names⁵⁰ of the tathāgata Aparimitāyur­jñāna­suviniścita­tejo­rāja will be lengthened. Those beings whose lifespan is coming to an end, who keep⁵¹ those names, will also have their lifespan lengthened.

“Therefore, Mañjuśrī, the noble sons or noble daughters who wish to have long lives, and who hear, write, or cause to be written⁵² the one hundred and eight names of the tathāgata Aparimitāyus, will obtain these qualities and benefits.

“Mañjuśrī, those who write or cause to be written these one hundred and eight names of the tathāgata, who make a text of them, keep it at home, and recite it, when their lifespan is coming to an end they will still be able to live to a hundred years. When they pass away from this world, they will be reborn in the buddha realm of the tathāgata Aparimitāyus named Aparimita­guṇa­saṃcaya.”⁵⁵

Then at that time nine hundred ninety million buddhas, with a single intention and a single voice, uttered this Aparimitāyur­jñāna Sūtra.⁵⁶
