May beings see¹⁶⁹ the tathāgata suns—  
The suns of the buddhas, the lamps of worlds—  
As a hundred thousand buddha suns.¹⁷⁰  
  
“ ‘His body is endowed with a hundred thousand merits.  
His body is adorned by all good qualities.  
The Jina’s arms are like the trunk of the king of elephants.  
His hands and feet are beautiful with stainless light.¹⁷¹  
  
“ ‘The buddhas who have been, who are as numerous as atoms,  
Who are as numerous as the dust on the surface of the earth;  
Those who are will be, who are as numerous as atoms;  
And those who are present, who are as numerous as atoms—  
  
“ ‘To those jinas I pay homage  
In pure faith, with body and speech,  
Offering flowers and offering perfumes,  
And with a hundred praises and a virtuous mind.

Are a manifold multitude of the very best.

But one cannot measure a single quality of the sugatas.  
  
“ ‘With faith and with body, speech, and mind  
I praise and eulogize all the jinas.  
Through my accumulated perfect results of merit,  
May beings reach the state of buddhahood.’¹⁷³  
  
“When the king had praised the Buddha in that way,  
The king prayed in this way:  
‘Wherever I am born,  
In endless future eons,  
  
“ ‘May I see such a drum¹⁷⁴ in a dream.  
There, may I hear this kind of confession.  
May I encounter in every lifetime  
A praise such as this Source of Lotuses.¹⁷⁵  
  
“ ‘May I hear in a dream of those  
Infinite, unequaled qualities of the buddhas,  
Which are difficult to acquire even in a thousand eons,
