Then the two bodhisattvas received and held the dhāraṇī spell from the Buddha. Just as a strong man flexes and extends his arm, they vanished from the country of Multitude of Flowers and arrived at the country of Śrāvastī, in the Jeta Grove, at the Anāthapiṇḍada monastery. Then the two bodhisattvas went forward to where the Buddha was, bowed their heads and faces at his feet, stepped back to stand at one side, and addressed the Buddha, saying: "World-Honoured One! Passing beyond one hundred thousand koṭis of buddha-lands from this world, there is a world named Multitude of Flowers, where a buddha named Supreme Lamp King Tathāgata, Arhat, Samyaksambuddha, is currently expounding the Dharma. He sent us to greet the World-Honoured One: Are you free from illness and distress? Are your vigour and strength at ease? Are the disciples untroubled by adversities such as māras, devas, bhūtas, rākṣasas, bhūtas, kumbhāṇḍas, pūtanas, piśācas, hungry ghosts, asuras, garuḍas, spirits that dry up humans, gandharva-spirits, pestilence spirits, spirits that drive humans mad, spirits that derange humans' minds, witchcraft spirits, corpse-reviving vetāla spirits, spirits that cause illness every day, spirits that cause illness every two days, three days, four days, or up to seven days, and spirits that cause constant illness? Supreme Lamp King Tathāgata has sent this dhāraṇī spell to offer to the World-Honoured One, also wishing to cause the sentient beings of this Sahā world to have peace and ease through the long night, obtaining great welfare, physical strength, and renown. The spoken spell is as above."
