4.3

And various ornaments that give rise to joy,
And some scattered clothing and jewels.
They developed the supreme, unequaled aspiration to enlightenment. {13}

Some scattered excellent meshes of gold;
Some also scattered mukhaphullaka adornments.
Some scattered excellent ornaments of gold,
And some, likewise, scattered anklets.⁴⁵⁵ {14}

Some scattered excellent bracelets,⁴⁵⁶
Some scattered armlets inset with jewels,
And some aspired to enlightenment, scattering excellent
Pieces of cloth,⁴⁵⁷ saying, “May we become buddhas!” {15}

When the Lord of the World stood in the gateway,
Some people scattered golden necklaces.
Some with minds filled with faith scattered excellent crest jewels;⁴⁵⁸
Some scattered networks of jewels. {16}

Those beings who were in extreme suffering,
Tormented by many kinds of miseries,
All attained happiness through the majesty
Of the Guide, the supreme human. {17}

Cuckoos, mynas, and peacocks,
And similarly cranes and other water birds⁴⁵⁹—
All the flocks of birds were in the sky
Emitting their beautiful, perfect songs. {18}

Desire, anger, and ignorance
Ceased in whoever heard
The sweet, beautiful songs
Of those flocks of joyous birds. {19}

The millions of beings who heard that joyful sound
All attained the patience that is concordant with the Dharma.
The Sugata gave them all this prophecy:
“You will in the future become buddhas.” {20}

At that time the kleśas did not arise,
And everyone was respectful to the Dharma king.⁴⁶⁰ {21}

At that time, when they saw the form of the Guide’s body,⁴⁶¹
They developed the aspiration for the supreme wisdom of buddhahood.
They wondered, “When will we attain this kind of wisdom?”
And the Jina, knowing that, gave them their prophecies. {22}

From each pore of the Sugata
There shone hundreds of thousands of light rays
And more, as many as there are sand grains in the Ganges—
It would not be possible to perceive all their attributes. {23}

At that time, the sunlight did not shine.
Nor was there light from jewels, fire, or the devas.
