45.6

whose sight was free from defect because they knew that the realm of beings has no souls and no beings, and who had wisdom⁶⁶ as vast as space because they pervaded the realm of phenomena with a network of light rays.

There were five hundred śrāvakas endowed with miraculous powers, all of whom had realized the nature of the way of the truths; directly perceived the true finality; comprehended the nature of phenomena; transcended the ocean of existence; had the range of activity of the tathāgatas that is as extensive as space;⁶⁷ had ended fetters, predispositions, and bondage; remained in an unobstructed state; dwelled in a peace that was like space; had eliminated doubts, uncertainty, and equivocation concerning the buddhas; and followed the path of aspiration for the ocean of the wisdom of the buddhas. There were lords of the world who had served previous jinas, who were dedicated to bringing benefit and happiness to all beings, who became good guides without being asked, who were dedicated to protecting other beings, who had attained the gateway⁶⁸ to wisdom that transcends the world, who had the motivation of never abandoning all beings, who had originated from⁶⁹ the field of activity of the teaching of all buddhas, who were dedicated to protecting the teachings of the tathāgatas, who were born through prayers to be within the family of the buddhas, who had attained being within the family lineage of the tathāgatas, and who aspired to omniscience.

Then those bodhisattvas and their followers, and the śrāvakas who had miraculous powers
