5.6
At that time, after Śāriputra had praised the Tathāgata with hundreds of thousands of such verses, he bowed his head to the Buddha's feet, circumambulated him hundreds of thousands of times, and said to the great assembly, the devas, nāgas, ghosts and spirits, humans, and non-humans: "Good sons! The world has become an empty void—how strange! How strange! The world has become an empty void—how bitter! How bitter! The eye of the world is extinguished—how painful! How painful! The wondrous jewel Dharma bridge will now be broken and destroyed; the unexcelled Bodhi-tree will now be snapped; the wondrous jewel victory banner will now topple; the unexcelled Buddha sun sets behind the great mountain of nirvāṇa!" When the entire great assembly heard these words, their hair stood on end in shock, and they were seized with great terror. The sun lost its bright radiance, the mountains collapsed, and the earth shook violently.
