9.7

Thereupon the Bhagavān spoke these verses:

“The nasal faculty will be purified
And they will smell the many kinds of smells,
The pleasant and unpleasant smells that there are
In this entire realm of worlds, {22}

“The scent of jasmine and royal jasmine,
Sandalwood and bay leaves,
Valerian and agarwood,
And many kinds of flowers and fruits. {23}

“In that way they will know the smells of beings,
Those of men and of women who are far away.
And by the smells of boys and of girls
They will know where they are located. {24}

“They will know the smells of cakravartin kings,
Bala­cakra­vartin kings, and rulers of regions.
In the same way they will know the smells of
The princes, the princesses, and the harems. {25}

“The bodhisattvas will know through their smells
The many kinds of jewels that are enjoyed:
Those that have been deposited under the ground
And those that are owned by women. {26}

“The bodhisattvas will know through their smells
Whatever are used as adornments,
The different materials that are worn on the body:
Clothing, garlands, ointments, and perfumes. {27}

“The ones who possess this supreme sūtra,
Those resolute ones will know through the power of smell
All⁴⁸¹ who are standing, sitting, or lying down,
Enjoying pleasures, or in possession of miraculous powers.⁴⁸² {28}

“Similarly, they will instantly smell
The aroma of perfumed sesame oil
And the various aromas of fruits and flowers,
And know the particular places those aromas are. {29}

“The wise ones will know from their scents
The multitudes of blossomed sandalwood trees
In the various declivities of mountains,
And the various beings that dwell among them. {30}

“The wise ones will know from their scents
Those beings who dwell on the Cakravāla mountains,
Those who dwell in the middle of the ocean,
And those who dwell in the center of the earth. {31}
