4.12

Someone who finds good food
Shows what they have, and says,
‘I have found food!’ {12}

“Likewise, while contemplating the lower yāna
We are longing in that same way—
Like beings during a famine—
For the attainment of the Buddha’s wisdom. {13}

“The great Muni, the perfect Buddha,
Has not yet given us his prophecy.
This is like not being able to enjoy the food
That has been placed in our hands. {14}

“Hero, though we thus long
To hear your unsurpassable words,
When we have received the prophecy
Then we will have attained nirvāṇa. {15}

“Great hero, compassionate one
Whose wish is to bring benefit, give us the prophecy!
Great Muni, may there be an end
To the poverty of our minds.” {16}

At this, the Bhagavān, knowing in his own mind the thoughts that were in the minds of those great śrāvakas, those sthaviras, said to that complete saṅgha of bhikṣus, “Bhikṣus, this great śrāvaka of mine, the sthavira Subhūti, will serve three hundred thousand million buddhas, will venerate them, honor them, make offerings to them, praise them, and respect them. And he will practice celibacy throughout that time and attain enlightenment. Having completed these activities, in his last life he will appear in the world as the tathāgata, the arhat, the perfectly enlightened buddha, the one with perfect wisdom and conduct,²⁸⁴ the sugata, the one who knows the world, the unsurpassable guide who tames beings, the teacher of devas and humans, the buddha, the bhagavān named Śaśiketu. His buddha realm will be named Ratnasaṃbhava. The eon will be named Ratnāvabhāsa. The realm will be level, delightful, made of crystal, adorned by jewel trees, without chasms or cliffs, without drains or cesspools,²⁸⁵
