bodhisattva mahāsattva Buddha­śrī­garbha, the bodhisattva mahāsattva Vimukti­candra, and so on. These boundless, innumerable, countless, inconceivable, unequaled, measureless, infinite, endless, unlimited, and most indescribable of indescribable bodhisattva mahāsattvas such as Vajra­garbha had all gathered there from various buddha realms.

Then at that time the bodhisattva mahāsattva Vajra­garbha, through the power of the Buddha, entered the samādhi called the radiance of the Mahāyāna.

As soon as the bodhisattva mahāsattva Vajra­garbha entered the samādhi called the radiance of the Mahāyāna, buddha bhagavats who all had the name Vajra­garbha and were as numerous as the atoms in a hundred million buddha realms, who were from beyond worlds in the ten directions as numerous as the atoms in a hundred million buddha realms, appeared to him. Those buddha bhagavats said these words:

“O noble son! It is excellent, excellent that you have entered the samādhi called the radiance of the Mahāyāna. In this way, noble son, the buddhas, the bhagavats in the ten directions, who are as numerous as the atoms in a hundred million buddha realms, and who all have the same name as you, which is Vajra­garbha, because of the blessing of the previous prayers of this bhagavat tathāgata arhat samyak­sambuddha³⁰ Vairocana³¹
