3.34

The path of all Buddhas of the three periods of time is never different, yet in their awareness of before and after there is inevitably the difference of past, future, and present. Why did the World-Honoured One say: 'I was all the Buddhas of the past'? And also say: 'Taking various births, I differed in forms'? Mahāmati took up these two points and raised them as a question. The Jātaka Sūtras say: 'The Tathāgata in the past took various births, such as being a wheel-turning king, Śakra, the great elephant Su-netra, a parrot, and so forth in hundreds of thousands of births.'
