When he saw that the cremation fire of the Tathāgata had gone out, he collected the relics, weeping, wailing, and lamenting. “Then, Nakṣatra­rāja­saṃkusumitābhi­jña, the bodhisattva mahāsattva Sarva­sattva­priya­darśana, weeping, wailing, and lamenting, had eighty-four thousand vases made of the seven precious materials, and he placed the relics of the Tathāgata inside them. He had eighty-four thousand stūpas constructed that were also made of the seven precious materials and were so high they reached the realm of Brahmā. They were adorned by a tier of parasols and were hung with streamers and bells. Having had these stūpas constructed he thought, ‘I have made an offering to the relics of Bhagavān Candra­sūrya­vimala­prabhāsa­śrī, of the Tathāgata, but I shall make a far greater and higher offering than that to the relics of the Tathāgata.’ “Then, Nakṣatra­rāja­saṃkusumitābhi­jña, the bodhisattva mahāsattva Sarva­sattva­priya­darśana said to the all-inclusive assembly of bodhisattvas, and the assembly of the great śrāvakas, and the devas, yakṣas, gandharvas, asuras, garuḍas, kinnaras, mahoragas, humans, and nonhumans, ‘Noble ones, think of making offerings to the relics of the Bhagavān!’ “Then, Nakṣatra­rāja­saṃkusumitābhi­jña, at that time the bodhisattva mahāsattva Sarva­sattva­priya­darśana, in front of the eighty-four thousand stūpas, burned his arm that was adorned by a hundred merits. Burning his arm, he made an offering to those stūpas of the Tathāgata for seventy-two thousand years. - [Previous: 10.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.saddharmapundarika*bo~en-84000.10.13) - [Next: 10.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.saddharmapundarika*bo~en-84000.10.15) - [Up: 10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.saddharmapundarika*bo~en-84000.10) ## Linked texts (1) - [དམ་པའི་ཆོས་པད་མ་དཀར་པོ་ཞེས་བྱ་བ་ཐེག་པ་ཆེན་པོའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.saddharmapundarika*bo.10.14) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.saddharmapundarika*bo~en-84000.10.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.saddharmapundarika*bo~en-84000.10.14) · Pramāṇa
