又華嚴經云。昔人中有香名大象藏因龍鬪生。若燒一丸興大光明。細雲覆上味如甘露。七日七夜降香水雨。若著身者身則金色。若著衣服宮殿樓閣。亦悉金色。若有眾生得聞此香。七日七夜歡喜悅樂。滅一切病無有橫枉。遠離恐悑危害之心。專向大慈普念眾生。我知彼已而為說法。令無量眾生得不退轉。又牛頭旃檀香從離垢山生。若以塗身火不能燒。

Furthermore, the Avataṃsaka-sūtra states: Formerly, among humans there was an incense named Great Elephant Treasury, produced from dragons fighting. If one pellet of it is burned, it raises a great radiance, with fine clouds covering above, tasting like amṛta. For seven days and seven nights, it rains perfumed water. If it touches one's body, the body turns golden; if it touches clothes, palaces, or pavilions, they all likewise turn golden. If any sentient beings get to smell this incense, for seven days and seven nights they rejoice and are happy, all illnesses are eradicated with no untimely deaths, and they leave behind fearful and harmful thoughts, dedicating themselves to great compassion and being mindful of all sentient beings. Knowing them, I preach the Dharma for them, causing immeasurable sentient beings to attain non-retrogression. Furthermore, ox-head candana incense is produced from Mount Vimalā; if smeared on the body, fire cannot burn it.
