In the course of the Buddha’s explanations, many beings are profoundly affected by his teaching, and we hear of their attainment of varying degrees of liberation and accomplishment. As Śākyamuni’s teaching concludes, miraculous signs appear and innumerable beings express their admiration and joy for the teaching. The goddess A­martyā, whose home is Gayā­śīrṣa Hill, also comes forth to circumambulate the Buddha in homage. Śākyamuni takes the occasion to explain to certain disbelieving members of the gathering how the goddess, despite her seemingly ordinary female form, in fact possesses perfect buddha qualities.
