Samantabhadra Bodhisattva addressed the great assembly, saying: "In ancient times, passing kalpas as numerous as the dust motes of a world, and doubling this number again, there was an ocean of worlds named Radiance of the Universal Gate. In this ocean of worlds there was a world named Wondrous Sound, dwelling supported by an ocean of maṇi flowers, with worlds as numerous as the dust motes of Mount Sumeru as its retinue. Its shape was perfectly round, its ground immeasurably adorned, surrounded by three hundred tiers of jewels, with jewel clouds covering it above like Mount Sumeru; clothing, food, and drink arrived in accordance with one's thoughts. In that Wondrous Sound world there was a fragrant water ocean named Pure Radiance, within which appeared a Great Lotus Sumeru Mountain named the Mountain of the Banner of Universal Adornments of Flower Flames, atop which was a grove named Maṇi Flower, adorned with numerous jewels. A million billion nayutas of cities surrounded it, and various sentient beings dwelt therein. East of the grove was a city named Blazing Radiance, the capital of a human king, surrounded by a million billion nayutas of cities. In the first kalpa of that Wondrous Sound world, Tathāgatas as numerous as the dust motes of ten Mount Sumerus appeared; the first Buddha was named Sumeru Wondrous Cloud of All Merits Mountain. The king was named Pleasant Sight Good Wisdom, who governed a million billion nayutas of cities, with thirty-seven thousand wives and court ladies, and five hundred sons, with Great Mighty Radiance as the eldest, who had ten thousand wives. Seeing the light, the crown prince, by the power of roots of goodness cultivated in the past, attested to ten dharma-gates and then spoke verses; by the Buddha's supernatural power, his voice filled the Wondrous Sound world. Hearing it, the king and his consort came to the Buddha's abode, and their retinue of eight classes of beings all assembled. Hearing the Dharma, they gained benefit, and Great Mighty Radiance attained the immeasurable light of wisdom. After that Buddha's parinirvāṇa, the Buddha Adorned with Roots of Goodness of the Pāramitās appeared in the world. At that time the young prince Great Mighty Radiance saw the Buddha and immediately attained the Buddha-mindfulness samādhi named the Gate of the Boundless Ocean Matrix and other gates, ten thousand dharma-gates in all. Encountering the third and fourth Buddhas, having attained benefit, he returned to his original abode (all of the above, from the Samādhi of Samantabhadra onward, was spoken by Samantabhadra Bodhisattva)."
