dust-motes of oceans of fragrant water. All the adornments of all worlds are revealed within them: puṇḍarīka flowers, terraces and balustrades of ten jewels, śīla banners of ten jewels, jeweled robes, bell-nets, and banners, jeweled-flower towers, and jeweled-lotus cities, completely encircled by forests of various jeweled trees. Each ocean of fragrant water has dust-motes of fragrant water rivers encircling it clockwise, always displaying radiant clouds of jeweled hues. Transformation Buddhas and bodhisattvas of the ten directions surge forth from within them. The central ocean of fragrant water is named Boundless Wondrous Flower Light; it produces a great lotus flower named Adornment of the King of All Fragrant Mani Jewels. Resting upon it is a world-seed named Blazing Jeweled Light Illuminating the Ten Directions, within which are arranged inexpressible Buddha lands. The lowest first tier is named Supreme Light Pervading and Illuminating, shaped like a mani jewel, encircled by worlds as numerous as the dust motes of one Buddha land; the Buddha is named Pure Eye Defilement-Free Lamp. The second tier is named Wondrous Adornment of Various Fragrant Lotus Flowers, shaped like a lion throne, encircled by worlds as numerous as the dust motes of two Buddha lands; the Buddha is named Lion Light Supreme Illumination.

The twelfth tier is named Radiant Illumination, shaped like a flower whirl, encircled by worlds as numerous as the dust motes of twelve Buddha lands; the Buddha is named Transcending Śakra and Brahmā. The thirteenth tier is named the Sahā World, shaped like space, covered above by universally complete celestial palaces, encircled by worlds as numerous as the dust motes of thirteen Buddha lands; the Buddha is named Vairocana. (This refers precisely to the thousand-petaled Rocana with marks numbering the dust motes of ten lotus-store worlds; in the single flower's ten billion lands, it corresponds to the thirteenth world.) The fourteenth tier is named Tranquil Dust-Free Light, shaped like a vajra-holder, encircled by worlds as numerous as the dust motes of fourteen Buddha lands; the Buddha is named Supreme Sound Pervading the Dharma Realm. The fifteenth tier is named Many Wondrous Radiant Lamps, shaped like a svastika, encircled by worlds as numerous as the dust motes of fifteen Buddha lands; the Buddha is named Pure Sun Eye of Merit. The sixteenth tier is named Pure Light Universal Illumination, shaped like a tortoise shell, encircled by worlds as numerous as the dust motes of sixteen Buddha lands; the Buddha is named Invincible Power Universal Illumination Banner. The seventeenth tier is named Repository of Jeweled Adornments, octagonal in shape, encircled by worlds as numerous as the dust motes of seventeen Buddha lands; the Buddha is named Unhindered Wisdom Radiance Illuminating the Ten Directions. The eighteenth tier is named Free from Dust, shaped like a string of pearls, encircled by worlds as numerous as the dust motes of eighteen Buddha lands; the Buddha is named Immeasurable Expedients Supreme Banner. The nineteenth tier is named Pure Light Universal Illumination, encircled by worlds as numerous as the dust motes of nineteen Buddha lands; the Buddha is named Universal Illumination Dharma Realm Space Light. The twentieth tier is named Wondrous Jeweled Flame, shaped like a jeweled ornament, encircled by worlds as numerous as the dust motes of twenty Buddha lands; the Buddha is named Radiance of Marks of Merit. These twenty tiers are wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, like an inverted stūpa. If one were to explain extensively the forms upon which the world-seeds rely, they number as many as dust motes of Buddha lands: some are called revolving forms (the Qingliang Commentary explains it as the shape of treading upon garments while going and coming), down to river forms, whirlpool forms, wheel-net forms, altar forms, tree forms, pavilion forms, śīla forms, banner forms, universally square forms, womb forms, lotus flower forms, khaluka forms (which translates as 'bamboo granary'), sentient being forms, Buddha mark forms, halo forms, net forms, portal forms, Mount Sumeru forms, and forms of various ornamental articles. Worlds such as the above all reside within the Ocean of Fragrant Water of Boundless Wondrous Flower Light, linked one to another to form a world net, established everywhere. In all there are ten world-seeds of twenty tiers encircling this central world-seed, making a total of eleven world-seeds of twenty tiers (fascicle 9 of the sūtra). These eleven world-seeds, surrounding all the way to the Cakravāḍa mountains, furthermore have one hundred world-seeds, ten in each direction, arranged within them. Surrounding near the mountains are ten world-seeds, each having four tiers above and below; for the remaining ninety world-seeds, the number of tiers is not mentioned. In total there are one hundred and eleven world-seeds, distributed and abiding like the net of the king of gods (fascicle 10 of the sūtra). Thus, in oceans of fragrant water as numerous as the dust motes of ten inexpressible Buddha lands, there are world-seeds as numerous as the dust motes of ten inexpressible Buddha lands, all abiding upon adornment lotuses of the mani king banner manifesting all bodhisattva forms. The boundaries of their respective adornments are continuous without interruption; each emits jeweled radiance; each is covered above by radiant clouds; each has its adornments; each has differences in kalpas; in each a Buddha appears; each expounds the ocean of Dharma; each is completely filled with sentient beings; each universally enters into the ten directions; each is supported by the supernatural powers of the Buddhas. All worlds within each of these world-seeds abide relying upon various adornments, linked one to another to form a world net, established everywhere with diverse distinctions throughout the Flower-Store Adorned Ocean of Worlds.'
