Adorned by the fragrance of the most delightful scents. {10}

“At that time, the king in this Jambudvīpa
Was the lord of men whose name was Dṛdhadatta.
He had five hundred sons
Who were handsome and beautiful to see. {11}

“At that time the kingdom was peaceful and happy,
Free of calamities, and filled with joy and peace.
Jambudvīpa was adorned by many flowers.
It was identical to a paradise, with no difference. {12}

“At that time there was a jina, one with the ten strengths,
Without bad actions, who taught this supreme samādhi:
‘The beings within existence are like dreams.
There is no one who is born and no one who dies. {13}

“ ‘There is no being to be found, and no soul,⁹⁵⁶ or person.⁹⁵⁷
These phenomena are like dreams⁹⁵⁸ or a plantain tree;⁹⁵⁹
Like illusions, the same as lightning in the sky;
Like the moon on water, the same as a mirage.⁹⁶⁰ {14}

“ ‘There is no person who dies in this world,
Who departs and goes to another world.
But the karma that has been created is not destroyed.
It will ripen as good and bad results within saṃsāra. {15}

“ ‘It is neither eternal nor is it annihilated.
There is no accumulation or presence of karma,
Yet if it has been created there is no way to avoid encountering it,
While that which is created by others will not be experienced. {16}

“ ‘There is no passing away or returning.
There is no existence of all things, yet neither are they nonexistent.
There is no pure engagement with the locus of a view.
There is no conduct of beings and no engagement with peace. {17}

“ ‘The conduct of the sugatas, the qualities of the jinas,
Are birthlessness, peace, and the absence of attributes.
The supreme leaders, the buddhas, have these strengths and retentions,
And the strength of the ten strengths. {18}

“ ‘The supreme good qualities, the accumulation of qualities,
Are the supreme qualities, wisdom, retentions, strengths,
The supreme manifestation of miraculous powers,
And the attainment of the five⁹⁶¹ supreme higher cognitions. {19}

“ ‘There is no essence here to be known whatsoever.
There is no coming, no going; that is the subtle⁹⁶² mode of phenomena.⁹⁶³
The essence of phenomena has no movement whatsoever,
Thus the mode of phenomena is the mode of no movement. {20}

“ ‘The natural mode is not in the accumulation of words.
This mode, this nature, does not dwell anywhere.
