intro.9

Seeing Dīpaṅkara and, through a miraculous display, all his thirty-two marks of a great being, Megha is overjoyed. While the other people in the gathering lay out costly garments for the Buddha to walk on, Megha lays out his humble, dirty deer skin, which is angrily tossed away by the others. Megha retreats down a side path, away from the crowds, praying that the Buddha will think of him and place his feet on his matted hair. The Buddha then does so, and Megha is able to scatter his flowers over the head of the Buddha, who then prophesies that he will become the Buddha Śākyamuni in a future eon.
