“Buddha, you shine as bright as the sun.
In this world you are as high as Meru.
You are the spotless guide with pure eyes.
We pay homage to you, Sugata who is the light.

“You have diligently meditated for many eons,
Seeking supreme enlightenment.
In the past you have made offerings to many jinas,
But the guides of the past did not give a prophecy to you.

“You have abandoned desire and you have a liberated mind.
You accomplished the deeds all over this world.
You teach the Dharma to those who have lost the path.
You save beings from the ocean of existence.

“We have taken ordination in the self-arisen teachings,
And, having composed sense faculties, we have trained
In the training of the prātimokṣa that you, Jina, taught.
We will always remain beside you.

“We have not followed desire for the activities of this life.
Seeing you as the teacher, we have listened to the Dharma.
We will obtain the taste of the level of consecration.
Jina, you have prophesied this attainment.”⁴²⁰

The Bhagavat said, “Noble sons, those two noble sons have developed the aspiration for enlightenment. They are Saṃrocana and Prahasitabāhu. The other four are Dharaṇidatta, Vīryasaṃcodana, Sārakusumita, and Prajñārciḥ­saṃkopita­daṣṭa. Listen, for I made these six worthy beings first aspire to enlightenment.

“Noble sons, in times gone by, in the past—countless, innumerable eons ago—in that age, at that time, this buddha realm was called Arajamerujugupsita. In that great eon, when the lifespan of beings was a hundred years, in the time of the outer image of the Dharma of the Tathāgata Gandhapadma, I, noble sons, at that time became a powerful cakravartin named Durdhana who was victorious over Jambudvīpa.
