11.9

And Kṣemadatta’s body became
Adorned by the primary signs. {27}

“Ten thousand million devas
Who were residing in the sky
Threw down at that moment
Coral tree flowers upon the bhikṣu. {28}

“Those divine flowers
Filled up this world.
A quintillion apsarases
Engaged in performing songs. {29}

“When Kṣemadatta
Emitted these words,
Ten thousand million buddhas
Witnessed this miracle. {30}

“In each of their realms
They made his great fame known
To their bhikṣus and bhikṣuṇīs,
Upāsakas and upāsikās:¹¹⁶⁴ {31}

“ ‘This bhikṣu Kṣemadatta
Is wise and has great might.
He burned his hand in order to gain
The wisdom of buddhahood.’ {32}

“Thousands of realms,
As numerous as the Ganges sands,
Were illuminated by that lamp,
Which was like the fire at an eon’s end. {33}

“All the realms became filled
With flowers and sandalwood¹¹⁶⁵ powder,
Up to kneeheight
From the ground.¹¹⁶⁶ {34}

“Jewels and flowers of every kind
Filled the buddha realm.
Nāgas brought down a rain of pearls
As an offering to Kṣemadatta. {35}

“This realm became adorned
By a display of every kind of jewel.
Jewels and pearls were spread out
As an offering to Kṣemadatta. {36}

“Devas, nāgas, and yakṣas,
kinnaras ¹¹⁶⁷ and mahoragas,
As numerous as the Ganges sands,
Were established in the highest enlightenment.” {37}

The Śākya lion, the Buddha,
Was on Vulture Peak Mountain.
In front of his assembly of bhikṣus
The Jina roared this lion’s roar: {38}

“It is I who was Kṣemadatta
And Ajita was Śrīghoṣa.
For ten thousand million eons
I practiced the bodhisattva conduct. {39}

“Countless women,
The moment they saw
Bhikṣu Kṣemadatta,
Ceased being women.¹¹⁶⁸ {40}

“The Lord of humans prophesied
That they would not return
But that they all would become
Self-arisen guides of the world.¹¹⁶⁹ {41}
