an innumerable and limitless number of them exclaimed in unison, “Respected Blessed One, we also want to behold the thus-gone Śākyamuni, to pay homage to him, to worship him, to revere him, to behold his great assembly, and to listen to the Dharma teaching of The Quintessence of the Sun, which has never been heard before! Blessed One, please allow us to go there!”
The thus-gone King of the Lord of Mountains replied, “Noble sons, all of you please proceed together while adopting the attire, behavior, marks, shape, and majestic power of Śakra.”
Then, the bodhisattva great being Gandhahastin and all the innumerable and limitless bodhisattva great beings manifested personal emanations with the attire, behavior, marks, shape, and majestic power of Śakra. They prostrated to the feet of the blessed thus-gone King of the Lord of Mountains, circumambulated him three times, and left. In a single instant they arrived in the Sahā world. As soon as they arrived, in this buddha realm of Sahā they showered a rain of perfumed substances—powders of white sandalwood, uragasāra sandalwood, tamāla tree leaves, aloeswood, Chinese incense, and yellow sandalwood—to worship the blessed Śākyamuni. When, looking like Śakra, they arrived at the place where the thus-gone Śākyamuni was residing, they prostrated to the feet of the Blessed One, circumambulated him three times, and then sat to one side.
