47.35

Beyond Jambudvīpa, in the eastern sea, there is a lapis lazuli mountain named Tide, twenty yojanas high, replete with various jewels. In that mountain there is a cave named Various Colors, which was the dwelling place of a bodhisattva in the past. It is one yojana in breadth and length, and six yojanas high. A poisonous snake dwells within it, cultivating the benevolence of a śrāvaka. There is another cave named Deathless, equal in height and breadth, which was the dwelling place of a bodhisattva in the past. Inside it, a horse cultivates the benevolence of a śrāvaka. There is another cave named Good Abode, equal in height and breadth, which was the dwelling place of a bodhisattva in the past. Inside it, a sheep cultivates the benevolence of a śrāvaka. The tree deity of that mountain is named Invincible; there is a rākṣasī named Good Conduct. Each is surrounded by a retinue of five hundred. These two women constantly make offerings together to these three beasts.
