Will remember their lifetimes in all their lives.

“ ‘Their limbs will be adorned by all aspects and attributes.
They will be endowed with various merits and qualities.
They will be continually offered to by kings, the lords of men.
That is what they will be like wherever they are.

“ ‘Those into whose ears the sound of this confession has entered
Have not accomplished goodness in the presence of only one buddha,
Nor in the presence of only two, or four, or five, or ten,
But rather have accomplished goodness in the presence of a thousand buddhas.’ ”⁹⁶

Then the Bhagavat said to the noble goddess Bodhisattvasamuccayā, “Noble goddess, at that time, in that time, there was a king by the name of Suvarṇa­bhujendra. Through this praise of all the tathāgatas, The Source of Lotus Flowers, he praised the buddha bhagavats of the past, future, and present.

“ ‘The jinas who have appeared in the past
And the jinas present in worlds in the ten directions,
I pay homage to those jinas
And I praise all those jinas.⁹⁷

“ ‘A lord of munis is peaceful, totally peaceful, and pure.
His body is a perfect golden color.⁹⁸
A buddha’s speech is pleasant with every utterance,⁹⁹
A speech that resounds like the voice of Brahmā.

“ ‘He has hair¹⁰⁰ like a bee, a peacock, and a blue lotus,¹⁰¹
With dark blue curls¹⁰² like the blue jaybird.¹⁰³
His teeth are pure white like snow or a conch,
And he is ¹⁰⁴ always beautiful like gold.

“ ‘His eyes are long, dark blue, and stainless;
They are like blossomed blue lotuses.
His broad, excellent tongue is the color of a red lotus,
Glowing like a red lotus, like red-lotus anthers.¹⁰⁵

“ ‘The ūrṇā hair on his face is the color of a conch or lotus root;¹⁰⁶
It curls to the right and is the color of white beryl.
It is like a sliver of moon, the last of the moon.
