5.6

Lord of men, you have the wealth of qualities, precious qualities.
Self-arisen one, through all your qualities, you are without equal.” {39}

In that way the youth spoke those words with great joy,
Praising the one with ten strengths, the speaker of truth.
He said, “By offering to the measureless,⁵⁹¹ unquantifiable Buddha
May I also become a buddha like Śākyamuni!” {40}

Knowing his perfect conduct, the Sugata,
The Lord of humans, the one with wisdom free of attachment, smiled.
Maitreya, the senior son of the one with ten strengths, asked him,
“For what reason did the Guide smile? {41}

“The earth has shaken in six ways.
The devas and nāgas in the sky are filled with joy.
They are gazing at the Buddha with great delight and happiness.
I pray to the unconquerable Sugata that you elucidate this to them. {42}

“You have a supreme being’s wisdom,
Which is not the level of the Bhagavān’s śrāvakas.
You who have pure wisdom beyond examples, wise one,
Tell⁵⁹² us the entire reason, Jina, why you smiled.⁵⁹³ {43}

“You are the Śākya lion, possessor of the ten strengths, the Guide,
The chief of humans, the one who has reached the perfection of wisdom.⁵⁹⁴
You have eliminated intractable desire, anger, and ignorance.
To you who shine with intense light, I ask this question: {44}

“Seeking the supreme, highest enlightenment,
You, the Guide, practiced for millions of eons
As numerous as the grains of sand in the Ganges.
For what reason did you show a smile? {45}

“Seeking the supreme, highest enlightenment,
You, the Teacher, gave away your arms and legs.
You gave away sons, wives, companions, and relations.
Sage, for what reason did you show a smile? {46}

“You gave away horses, elephants, and chariots,⁵⁹⁵
Slaves, jewels, silver, and pearls.⁵⁹⁶
When you practiced the sublime conduct
There were no jewels or wealth that you did not give away. {47}

“You have the supreme wisdom in the three existences.
You know the conduct of all beings.
