“I always have a body that is golden in color,  
Has the signs of a hundred merits,  
Is beautiful to behold and a pleasure for the eyes,  
And when seen gladdens ten billion devas and gladdens beings.  
  
“For ninety-nine trillion eons  
I became a cakravartin king,  
And for many hundreds of thousands of eons  
I have experienced being the king of a realm.³²¹  
  
“For countless eons I have been Śakras, and likewise  
I have been lords of Brahmās with peaceful³²² minds,  
And I have attained³²³ the unquantifiable ten strengths,  
The extent of which can never be known.  
  
“Through the immeasurable accumulation of abundant merit  
From my hearing and rejoicing in this sūtra,  
I attained the enlightenment that I had aspired to,  
And I also attained the sublime Dharma body.”

Then the Bhagavat, in order to describe this extensively to the assembly, recited these verses:  
  
“Someone who wishes to make an  
Inconceivable offering to all the buddhas,  
And wishes to know the profound  
Field of activity of all the buddhas,  
  
“Should go to the place, whether  
It is a temple or a dwelling,
