9.12

By means of many quintillions of parables,
Will experience there the greatest joy
And make countless offerings. {54}

“Devas, nāgas, asuras, and guhyakas
Will wish to always look upon them
And they will listen to the Dharma with great reverence:
They will have all those qualities. {55}

“If they wish it, in this world realm
Everyone will hear their voice.
Their pleasant, sweet, profound,
And beautiful words will bring them joy. {56}

“The cakravartin sovereign kings
Will come before them to make offerings.
With their children and wives, hands together in homage,
They will constantly listen to the Dharma. {57}

“Crowds of yakṣas, nāgas, and gandharvas
Will constantly be honoring them.
Male and female piśācas will honor them,
Revere them, and make offerings to them. {58}

“Even Brahmā will be obedient to them.
Maheśvara, the deva Īśvara,
Śakra, and similarly other devas—
A multitude of devas will come to them. {59}

“The buddhas, the compassionate benefiters of the world,
And their śrāvakas will hear their voices,
Reveal their faces to them, protect them,
And be pleased with their teaching of the Dharma. {60}

“Moreover, Satata­samitābhiyukta, the bodhisattva mahāsattvas who possess this Dharma, read it, teach it, explain it, or write it out, will attain eight hundred qualities of the body. Their bodies will be purified. Their skin will be the pure color of beryl, and will bring happiness to those beings who see it.

“They will see the world realm of a thousand million worlds within their purified bodies. They will see in their bodies all the beings in the world realm of a thousand million worlds, whether they are dying or being born, good or bad, of a good color or a bad color, in the higher existences or the lower existences, dwelling on the Cakravāla or Mahācakravāla Mountains,
