Beings will become happy through being endowed with every kind of happiness. They will be in the company of tathāgatas, and in a future time will attain the highest, most complete enlightenment of buddhahood. This will end all the suffering in the hells, in the lives of animals, and in the world of Yama. Robes, food, bedding, medicine while ill, requisites, and other necessities will be brought to those dharmabhāṇaka bhikṣus. “I,²⁵⁶ the great goddess Śrī, developed good roots with the tathāgata arhat samyak­saṃbuddha Ratna­kusuma­guṇa­sāgara­vaiḍūrya­kanaka­giri­suvarṇa­kāñcana­prabhāsa­śrī. In the present, wherever I direct my mind, wherever I look, wherever I go, many hundreds of thousands of quintillions of beings become happy; they become endowed with every kind of happiness. They do not lack food, drink, wealth, grain, cowries, gold, jewels, pearls, beryl, conchs, crystals, coral, silver, unwrought gold, or other requisites. Those beings are endowed with all requisites.²⁵⁷ - [Previous: 3.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.suvarnaprabhasa*bo-d557~en-84000.3.16) - [Next: 3.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.suvarnaprabhasa*bo-d557~en-84000.3.18) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.suvarnaprabhasa*bo-d557~en-84000.3) ## Linked texts (1) - [འཕགས་པ་གསེར་འོད་དམ་པ་མདོ་སྡེའི་དབང་པོའི་རྒྱལ་པོ་ཞེས་བྱ་བ་ཐེག་པ་ཆེན་པོའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.suvarnaprabhasa*bo-d557.3.17) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.suvarnaprabhasa*bo-d557~en-84000.3.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.suvarnaprabhasa*bo-d557~en-84000.3.17) · Pramāṇa
