A king named Varapuṣpasa.
He had no fewer than five hundred sons,
All endowed with mindfulness and realization. {7}

“That king and his sons offered to the Jina,
To that compassionate one,
Six hundred thousand parks,
All beautified by flowers and fruits,¹³³⁴ {8}

“And a hundred thousand various parks
With thousands of walkways, seats, and beds,
And with a trillion Dharma robes
Spread on the ground where they walked and sat. {9}

“Thus the king with great faith
Presented to that Sugata
In many thousands of ways
Whatever renunciants would enjoy. {10}

“That king, who followed the path
Of the ten good actions,
Came to see the Guide, accompanied by
A hundred thousand trillion beings. {11}

“Holding flowers, perfumes, and incense,
Parasols, banners, and musical instruments,
He made offerings to that Jina,
And with his hands in homage sat before him. {12}

“The thousands of bhikṣus were pleased,
As were the devas, humans, asuras, and yakṣas, wondering,
‘The Jina to whom these offerings were made, will he give a prophecy?
Will this lord of humans teach the Dharma?’ {13}

“The self-arisen one knew their thoughts
And knew the king’s supreme motivation,
That his aspiration was to the further shore,
And therefore taught him the samādhi of peace. {14}

“When the Sugata’s voice came forth
The earth and its forests shook.
A rain of flowers fell from the sky
And hundreds of lotuses appeared out of the ground. {15}

“The Teacher had trained in the words and their meaning,
And the Guide, knowing the king’s thoughts, gave a prophecy.
That lord of men taught the samādhi of peace.
Listen to these words and their meaning. {16}

“ ‘All existences are nonexistent: they are concepts,
They are insubstantial, they are like mirages and illusions.
They are like lightning and clouds, unstable and empty.¹³³⁵
All are without a self, without a being, without a soul.¹³³⁶ {17}

“ ‘Primordially empty, phenomena do not come.
