4.21
“Noble goddess, when they heard the prophecy of the enlightenment of these three excellent beings, as soon as they heard it, they gained reverence³⁵¹ for, delight in, and trust in this Lord King of Sūtras, the Sublime Golden Light, and just through that they had minds that were as completely pure as stainless beryl. They had profound, completely clear minds like pure, extremely vast, and expansive space. They possessed an immeasurable accumulation of merit.
“Noble goddess, Jvalanāntaratejorāja and the rest of these ten thousand devas, in just that way, as soon as they heard this Lord King of Sūtras, the Sublime Golden Light, gained reverence for and trust in it. In just that way, they had minds that were as completely pure as stainless beryl, and therefore they attained the level of prophecy.
“Noble goddess, it is through this accumulation of good roots and through the power of previous prayers that Jvalanāntaratejorāja and the rest of these ten thousand devas have now obtained the prophecy of their highest, most complete enlightenment.”
Chapter 16: Ending Illness
“Noble goddess, in the past, in a time gone by—an inconceivable, vast number, more innumerable than an asaṃkhyeya of eons ago—at that time, in that time, the tathāgata arhat samyaksaṃbuddha, the one with wisdom and virtuous conduct, the sugata, the one who knows the world’s beings, the unsurpassable guide who tames beings, the teacher of devas and humans, the buddha, the bhagavat by the name of Ratnaśikhin appeared in the world.
“Noble goddess, at that time, in that time, after the Tathāgata Arhat samyaksaṃbuddha Ratnaśikhin had passed into nirvāṇa
