7.13

Utterly fearless with your ten strengths,
You announce, ‘There is no one like me in saṃsāra.’
Thus are you uniquely heroic.

“Those who are vessels for your nectar-like words
Are, simply put, fearless about existence.
Sublime doctor, world protector worthy of worship,
I take refuge in you, compassionate one.”

The bodhisattva Nirārambha then addressed the Blessed One: “The Blessed One knows my intent. Blessed One, I do not make this offering for my own sake. Rather, through the roots of virtue from this offering of a pearl necklace and praise to the thus-gone, blessed, completely perfect Buddha, may all beings attain buddhahood, Blessed One. This is my intention, Blessed One.”

At that, the Blessed One smiled. As is a basic truth of the blessed buddhas, when the blessed Buddha smiled, light rays of various colors and hues—blue, yellow, red, white, crimson, and crystal-clear—emerged from the Blessed One’s mouth, illuminated the boundless expanse of world systems, and brought peace to beings tormented in the lower realms. After gratifying gods and humans, the light rays returned, circled the Blessed One many times, and descended into the crown of his head. The entire assembly also saw the light rays and experienced awe, delight, happiness, and bliss. They joined their palms, bowed while facing the Blessed One, and sat down. They wondered, “What prompted the Blessed One’s smile?”

The venerable Ānanda then rose from his seat, adjusted his upper robe on one shoulder, and knelt down on his right knee.
