“If he does not grant a face-to-face vision to those who supplicate him, then that beginner bodhisattva who is with offense should rise from his seat in the last watch of the night, stand facing east, and burn incense. He should supplicate the deva-son Aruṇa and speak thus: ‘Aruṇa, Aruṇa, of great mercy, of great fortune, of great joy, you who are in Jambudvīpa, cover me with compassion! Quickly awaken the greatly compassionate Ākāśagarbha with my words! Show me that means in a dream by which means I may confess my downfall [and] attain the wisdom of skill in means in the noble Mahāyāna!’
