“What are the five fruits? They are attaining the fruit of training, the fruit of passing beyond training, the fruit of a solitary buddha, the fruit of the bodhisattva level of irreversibility, and the fruit of omniscient wisdom. Those are the five fruits.
“Lord of nāgas, these are the appearances, seeds, roots, trunks, branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits of the tree of the mind of omniscience. Therefore, lord of nāgas, a bodhisattva who aspires to having such a tree of the mind omniscience must not forget the mind of omniscience. Lord of nāgas, I have not seen any excellent qualities lacking in those who have the mind of omniscience. Lord of nāgas, someone who possesses the seed of a tree also possesses its roots, trunks, branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits. In the same way, lord of nāgas, someone who possesses the mind of omniscience also possesses the factors of awakening. Therefore, lord of nāgas, this teaching, which is a Dharma gateway on the qualities of bodhisattvas, should be remembered. Retain it, recite it, and explain it widely to those around you! This is how you should train.”
When the Blessed One delivered this teaching on the source of the wisdom of omniscience, seventy-two thousand nāgas from among those assembled there developed the intention to reach unsurpassed and perfect awakening. Young nāgas, female nāgas, and nāga kings reached acceptance in keeping with the roots of virtue
