Therefore we know that originally she abode in the subtle, wondrous Dharma joy of quiescent concentration; as traces, she was the Buddha's wife. The Karuṇāpuṇḍarīka-sūtra states: "Before the Buddha Ratnagarbha, she made a vow to become his wife." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.58](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.2.58) - [Next: 2.60](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.2.60) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718~en-mt.2.59) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.2.59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1718.2.59) · Pramāṇa
