And right here its maturation is stated: 'Moreover, great king, by the maturation of that wholesome deed of the mind of perfect awakening, you have been born hundreds of times among the gods, and you have been born hundreds of times among humans; and in all your births as god or human you have exercised sovereignty. And yet, great king, no diminution or incompleteness of that wholesome deed of the mind of perfect awakening is observed. Furthermore, great king, because even a single mind of perfect awakening takes as its object the deliverance of all beings, takes as its object the liberation of all beings, takes as its object the comforting of all beings, and takes as its object the parinirvāṇa of all beings, it is an immeasurable, incalculable accumulation of wholesomeness. What need is there to speak of one who cultivates it abundantly?'
