As the Sūtra of Dhāraṇīśvara-rāja says: Bodhisattva Ratnaprabha generated vigor in the presence of the Buddha Jambūnadaprabhāsa merely to enter such expedient gates of the Dharma; for two billion years, an evil thought or a thought of personal gain never arose in him. Moreover, Bodhisattva Ratnaprabha was vigorous in this way for 1.2 billion years, during which thoughts of lust, anger, or ignorance never once arose. Moreover, Bodhisattva Anantamati and Bodhisattva Anantavīrya did not sleep at all for forty thousand years, never ate their fill, and neither lay down, sat, nor walked back and forth, but solely contemplated the characteristics of the five aggregates of grasping.
