Noble son, because you made all beings hold uragasāra sandalwood in their hands and caused their thoughts to be focused upon the Buddha, you will have the name Gandhahasti.²⁵⁵ Gandhahasti, after an incalculable eon has passed, in which there are as many years as there are grains of sand in the Ganges River, during a second such incalculable eon, in which there are as many years as there are grains of sand in the Ganges River, after the tathāgata arhat samyaksam­buddha Akṣobhya has passed into parinirvāṇa, and seven days after his good Dharma has disappeared, you, Gandhahasti, will attain the complete enlightenment of perfect buddhahood in that world realm. There you will be the tathāgata arhat samyaksam­buddha, and so on, up to and including the bhagavat buddha, named Suvarṇapuṣpa.’ “Gandhahasti said, ‘Bhadanta Bhagavat, if this wish of mine is to be completely fulfilled, when I bow down the five points of my body to the feet of the Bhagavat, may a rain of magnolia flowers fall over the entire park.’ - [Previous: 142](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.karunapundarika*bo~en-84000.142) - [Next: 144](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.karunapundarika*bo~en-84000.144) ## Linked texts (1) - [འཕགས་པ་སྙིང་རྗེ་པད་མ་དཀར་པོ་ཞེས་བྱ་བ་ཐེག་པ་ཆེན་པོའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.karunapundarika*bo.143) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.karunapundarika*bo~en-84000.143](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.karunapundarika*bo~en-84000.143) · Pramāṇa
