When the retinue of sixty-eight hundred thousand queens, too, saw the bhikṣu, they also were instantly established in irreversible progress toward the highest enlightenment.

“That whole great gathering of people took off their jewels and rings, took off their shoes, removed their robes from one shoulder, and, kneeling on their right knees, with palms placed together bowed toward the bhikṣu.

“Then the princesses, too, inspired by their previous roots of goodness, alighted from their palanquins, took off their jewels and rings, took off their shoes, removed their robes from one shoulder, and, kneeling on their right knees, with palms placed together recited these verses to the bhikṣu:

“ ‘The arrival of this bhikṣu
Has been like the sun,
Illuminating everywhere
And inspiring the people. {15}

“ ‘The faults¹²¹¹ of desire have gone,
Ignorance also has been cleared away,
And the faults¹²¹² of anger and envy
Have also instantly departed. {16}

“ ‘The sons of King Śūradatta,
His retinue, and so on—
None of these followers
Are looking at the king. {17}

“ ‘The beauty of this bhikṣu
Being honored by the princes
Is like the full moon
Encircled by the stars. {18}

“ ‘The beauty of this bhikṣu
Is like a painting in gold
Created by an expert artist,
And like a blossoming king of the sal trees. {19}

“ ‘The beauty of this bhikṣu’s arrival
Is like powerful Śakra, the lord of devas,
The lord with a thousand eyes, the destroyer of strongholds,
And lord of the thirty-three devas on the summit of Sumeru. {20}

“ ‘The beauty of this bhikṣu’s arrival
Is like Brahmā residing in Brahmā’s world,
Like the deva lord Sunirmita,
And like deva Suyāma in the desire realm. {21}

“ ‘The beauty of this bhikṣu’s arrival
Is like the sun shining in the sky,
Dispelling darkness with a thousand light rays,
Illuminating completely every direction. {22}
