And taught the nonexistence of all phenomena.
He was at that time given a corresponding name
And his words were heard throughout the trichiliocosm. {2}

“All the devas, they all called out,
‘He will be a jina named Abhāva!
As soon as he was born he took seven steps
And the Jina taught the nonexistence of phenomena.’ {3}

“When the sage became a buddha, a Dharma king,
Who taught the nature of all phenomena,
From plants, trees, bushes, mountains,³¹⁹ and rocks
There came the words ‘phenomena have no existence.’ {4}

“All the sounds there were in the world
Became the words ‘all are nonexistent.’
In that way there sounded
The words of the Guide of the World. {5}

“At that time there was a prince
Whose name had always been Karuṇāvicintin.
He had an excellent form and was handsome.
He came into the presence of that jina. {6}

“He bowed to the feet of the sage, that great being,
And respectfully circumambulated him.
In order to hear the stainless, unsurpassable Dharma
He sat there with a devout mind. {7}

“The heroic³²⁰ Jina, knowing his aspiration,
Gave the teaching of this samādhi.
Having listened to this stainless samādhi
He quickly entered homelessness in the supreme Jina’s teaching. {8}

“Having entered homelessness he possessed,
Read, and understood this samādhi.
For a full two hundred million eons
He did not descend to an unfortunate existence. {9}

“Through the good karma that he had made
He pleased two hundred million buddhas,
And in the presence of those jinas
He cultivated this samādhi. {10}

“He afterward became a buddha in the world
Who was always known as Sucintitārtha.
He benefited many millions of beings
And afterward attained nirvāṇa,³²¹ like an extinguished flame.³²² {11}

The Patience of the Profound Dharma

Then the Bhagavān said to the youth Candraprabha,
