clouds of divine perfume from which a rain of perfume was released, clouds of divine jewel lotuses from which a rain of lotuses was scattered, clouds of divine garlands from which a rain of garlands was produced, clouds of divine jewels from which a rain of jewels fell, clouds of divine jewelry from which a rain of jewelry fell, clouds of divine precious parasols from which a rain of parasols was produced, clouds of divine flowers from which a rain of flowers fell, clouds of various kinds of fine divine clothing in different colors from which a rain of clothing fell, clouds of divine precious banners and flags that stood⁹⁰ in the sky, and an array of clouds of every kind of jewel that filled the sky. Together with his entourage, he approached the Bhagavat, bowed to the Bhagavat, and in the eastern direction emanated perfectly adorned kūṭāgāras that were covered with a net of precious jewels, each containing a lion throne and a lotus made of precious jewels that shined light in all directions, and he and his entourage seated themselves cross-legged upon the lotuses, their bodhisattva bodies adorned with a network of the kings of precious wish-fulfilling jewels.
In the southern direction, beyond an ocean of world realms as numerous as the atoms in countless buddha realms, there was the world realm Vajrasāgaragarbhā, the Tathāgata Samantāvabhāsaśrīgarbharāja’s buddha realm, where the bodhisattva Duryodhanavīryavegarāja, together with bodhisattvas to the number of atoms in countless buddha realms, with the permission of the Bhagavat, rose up from that ocean of the assembly of followers
