When he saw that, the Bhagavat said to Venerable Ānanda, ‘Ānanda, this area is beautiful; it has the signs of a place for me to speak, so now prepare a seat for the Tathāgata.’

“In accordance with the Bhagavat’s instruction, he prepared a seat. When it was prepared, he said to the Bhagavat:

“ ‘Excellent, supreme Bhagavat, sublime giver of the supreme to humans,
Bringer of liberation from the bondage of existence, your seat is prepared.
I pray that you be seated and speak the amṛta of the sublime instructions
That bring liberation so as to benefit³⁷³ beings.’³⁷⁴

“The Bhagavat then sat on the seat and said to the bhikṣus, ‘Bhikṣus, do you want to see the bones of a bodhisattva who did that which was difficult to do?’

“The bhikṣus said to the Bhagavat:

“ ‘Excellent Ṛṣi, tell us well, for the time has come for us to see
The bones of someone dedicated to the benefit of beings,³⁷⁵
Who had patience, great diligence and delighted in peace and self-control,
Who delighted in wisdom and mindfulness and possessed immeasurable qualities.’

“The Bhagavat then stamped on the ground’s surface with the sole of his foot,³⁷⁶ which was as soft as a newly blossomed lotus flower and had marked upon it the design of a wheel with a thousand spokes. As soon as he had pressed down on the earth, it shook in six ways and a stūpa made of silver and gold emerged from it.

“The Bhagavat then said to Venerable Ānanda, ‘Ānanda, open this stūpa!’

“Venerable Ānanda, obeying the Bhagavat, opened the stūpa and saw inside it some golden caskets covered with jewels and pearls that shone³⁷⁷ with a golden light. Having seen that, he told the Bhagavat, ‘Bhagavat, there are golden caskets.’
