And practice enlightened conduct in future eons
With every happiness that is like an ocean.

“ ‘In future times, may my realm
Have the same infinite qualities
As the superior, infinite qualities
Of all the jinas in the realms
That have been in the three worlds in the past.’¹⁸³

“Ruciraketu, you should know
That King Suvarṇabhujendra,
Who made this prayer in the past,
Has become you in this present time.

“Your two sons in the past,
Kanakabhujendra and Kanaka­prabhā­svara,
Are now Rūpyaketu and Rūpyaprabha
I made that prophecy at that time.”

The vast assembly, on hearing that,
All developed the enlightenment mind.
“May we now and in all future times
Always make this confession!” ¹⁸⁴

Why is that? It is because this dhāraṇī is the mother of the past, future, and present buddha bhagavats. One who possesses this dhāraṇī will greatly increase their accumulation of merit. Those who planted roots of merit with countless bhagavats of the past will possess and hold this dhāraṇī. Those who have pure, faultless conduct without deterioration
