'Bhaiṣajyarāja' (Medicine King): the Beihua jing says: 'May I make offerings when the one thousand and four buddhas of the Fortunate Kalpa first attain the Way; when the buddhas enter extinction, may I build stūpas for all; at the end of the kalpa when there is suffering, may I rescue and protect all, acting as a great medicine king during wars and pestilence, and only then become a buddha. Ratnagarbha Buddha said: "Now I shall style you Pure Fire Medicine King; when you later become a buddha, you will be Rucika Tathāgata."' Explanation by contemplation of mind (and so forth). Below this, explanations for seven bodhisattvas are missing.
