They went to where the Tathāgata Ratnagarbha was, approached him, bowed their heads down to the feet of the Tathāgata Ratnagarbha, and made offerings to him through their various miraculous bodhisattva powers. They saw the brahmin in the presence of the Tathāgata Ratnagarbha and saw the entire assembly of bodhisattvas with palms placed together, praising him. The two bodhisattvas thought, ‘This must be the one with great compassion to whom the Tathāgata Ratnacandra has sent these flowers, which are as stainless as the moon’s radiance.’ “Then the two bodhisattvas turned from the Bhagavat, offered the flowers to the brahmin, and said, ‘Worthy being, the Tathāgata Ratnacandra has sent you these flowers, which are as stainless as the moon’s radiance, and he has sent you his congratulations, worthy being,’ and so on, as previously described. - [Previous: 231](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.karunapundarika*bo~en-84000.231) - [Next: 233](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.karunapundarika*bo~en-84000.233) ## 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.232) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.karunapundarika*bo~en-84000.232](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.karunapundarika*bo~en-84000.232) · Pramāṇa
