written out, contemplated, spoken about, chanted, or made into texts, whether it is a park, a temple, a palace, the foot of a tree, a house, or a cave, a caitya for the Tathāgata should be erected in that place. Why is that? It is because that place should be perceived as being the Bodhimaṇḍa of all the tathāgatas. It should be perceived as the place where all the tathāgatas, arhats, perfectly enlightened buddhas attain the highest, complete enlightenment of complete buddhahood. It should be perceived as the place where all the tathāgatas turn the wheel of the Dharma, and the place where all the tathāgatas pass into nirvāṇa.

Thereupon the Bhagavān spoke these verses:

“Those who are established in the wisdom of higher knowledge,
Those who have the inconceivable nature⁴⁹⁶ of benefiting the world,
Those who have infinite vision demonstrate miracles
For the sake of bringing joy to all beings. {1}

“Their tongues reach the realm of Brahmā
And they radiate thousands of light rays.
They demonstrate those amazing miracles
In order to lead beings to the highest enlightenment. {2}

“The buddhas make the sound of clearing their throats
And they make the sound of a single finger snap.
Those sounds are heard in all world realms,
As many worlds as there are in the ten directions. {3}

“Those compassionate and benefiting ones
Demonstrate those and other miracles, those qualities,
So that beings become overjoyed and in later times,
After the Sugata’s nirvāṇa, they will uphold this sūtra. {4}

“Though I were for many billions of eons
To praise those who are the offspring of the Sugata,
Who are upholders of this highest sūtra
When the Guide of the World has passed into nirvāṇa, {5}

“There would still be no end to their qualities,
