2.13

At that time the fourfold assembly—bhikṣus, bhikṣuṇīs, upāsakas, upāsikās—and the great assembly of devas, nāgas, yakṣas, gandharvas, asuras, garuḍas, kinnaras, mahoragas, and others, seeing Śāriputra receive the vyākaraṇa for anuttarā samyaksambodhi before the Buddha, rejoiced greatly in their hearts and leaped without measure, each removing their upper garments to offer to the Buddha. Śakra Devānām Indra, Brahmā, and others, together with countless devaputras, also offered to the Buddha celestial wonderful garments, heavenly māndārava flowers, mahāmāndārava flowers, and the like—the scattered celestial garments remaining suspended in empty space and whirling about on their own; hundreds of thousands of kinds of heavenly instrumental music sounded at once in empty space, raining down many heavenly flowers—and spoke these words: "Formerly at Vārāṇasī the Buddha first turned the dharmacakra; now he turns again the unsurpassed, greatest dharmacakra."
