“The bodhisattvas will know through their smells
The bodies of deva maidens beautified by many flowers,
Wherever they go, wherever they enjoy themselves,
Adorned and beautified by constantly worn garlands. {43}

“And they will also know through their aromas
The devas above, up to the summit of existence;
Brahmās and Mahābrahmās traveling in their airborne palaces;
And those resting in dhyāna and those who have arisen from it. {44}

“They will know the devas of Ābhāsvara,
Their deaths and rebirth, and those there for the first time.
That is what the sense of smell will be like
For bodhisattvas who possess this sūtra. {45}

“Those bodhisattvas will know every one
Of the bhikṣus who, whether walking or sitting,
Are dedicated to the Sugata’s teaching,
The bhikṣus who delight in reciting the scripture. {46}

“The wise ones will know by their aroma
All śrāvakas, the sons of the jinas—
Some of whom stay always at the foot of a tree—
Thinking, ‘That bhikṣu is in that place.’ {47}

“The bodhisattvas will know by their aromas
The bodhisattvas with mindfulness and dhyāna
Who are constantly reciting the scriptures
And teaching the Dharma in the assemblies. {48}

“They will know a lord of the world through his aroma:
A sugata, a great muni, who in whatever direction
Is teaching the Dharma with compassionate altruism
In the midst of a śrāvaka saṅgha that is looking at him. {49}

“The bodhisattvas while in this world will know
Also all of the followers of a jina,
Those beings who listen to his Dharma,
And having heard it are overjoyed. {50}

“That is the power of smell that they will acquire,
But they still will not have the divine sense of smell.
They will have that which is the forerunner
Of the immaculate divine sense of smell. {51}

“Moreover, Satata­samitābhiyukta, the noble man or noble woman who possesses this Dharma teaching, teaches it, explains it, and has it written out
