He was a native of Central India. Having received the transmission of the Dharma, he traveled and taught until he reached Northern India. Seeing golden auspicious clouds above the battlements of the city wall, he sighed and said: 'This is the air of a person of the Way. There must surely be a great being who will be my Dharma heir.' He then entered the city. In the marketplace, there was a man holding a wine vessel in his hand, who approached and asked: 'From where has the Master come, and where do you wish to go?'

That Buddha gave me a prediction, saying: "In the Bhadrakalpa, within the Dharma of Śākyamuni, you shall propagate the supreme teaching." Now it tallies with the Master's words. I pray that you will liberate me.' The Master immediately shaved his head and conferred the full precepts, and then told him: 'The Treasury of the Correct Dharma Eye is now entrusted to you; do not let it be severed.'
