金光明最勝王經疏 6.69

6.69

Sūtra: The Buddha told the earth deity: "Noble Goddess! Just as you have said, it is only after diligently and painfully cultivating based on superior and wonderful causes and conditions of good roots that one receives the prediction. These devaputras renounced the pleasures of the five desires in their wonderful celestial palaces and purposefully came to listen to this *Suvarṇaprabhāsa-sūtra*. Having heard the Dharma, they generated profound reverence in their minds regarding this sūtra, like pure lapis lazuli free from all flaws and stains, and further succeeded in hearing about the conferral of predictions upon these three great bodhisattvas."
