瑜伽論記 11.36

11.36

From 'A bodhisattva who, toward the Three Jewels...' down, the second [part] explains arousing the six superior resolutions when making offerings. As for the 'exquisite udumbara flower,' there is no name here by which to translate it. They are abundant in the Western regions; this tree has no flowers, but fruits emerge from among the leaves, and flowers bloom only when a wheel-turning king appears. Just as the blue lotus has flowers but no fruit, it is exactly the opposite of the udumbara tree, which has fruit but no flowers.
