Mañjuśrī pitied him and came to transform him, whereupon he came to know his past lives. He requested: 'Please leave your footprints for me, so that I may constantly revere and serve them, and thereby be freed from all evils.' Mañjuśrī manifested them for him, which are those of today. In the third year of the Zhenguan era, the mountain spirit died and was reborn in Tuṣita Heaven. Another ghost came to dwell in this place, who was a relative by marriage of the former spirit. He committed many evils. The former spirit who had been reborn in heaven pitied him, descended, and requested Mañjuśrī to manifest smaller footprints to transform this later spirit. He too complied with the saddharma. Therefore, that large and small footprints appear on this mountain today is in every case not without cause, as seen in the Fuzhu yi." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 14.59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.14.59) - [Next: 14.61](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.14.61) - [Up: 14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.14) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.14.60) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.14.60](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.14.60) · Pramāṇa
