以神通力示諸大眾。上方界分過四十二恒河沙佛土。有國名眾香。佛號香積。今現在其國香氣比於十方諸佛世界人天之香最為第一。彼土無有聲聞辟支佛名。唯有清淨大菩薩眾。佛為說法。其界一切皆以香作樓閣。經行香地薗苑皆香。其食香氣周流十方無量世界。時彼佛與諸菩薩方共座食。有諸天子皆號香嚴。悉發阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心。供養彼佛及諸菩薩 此二現淨土眾香。香積等示依正報名。無二乘朋眷屬。淨香作樓閣等依報淨坐食等佛事淨。

By his supernormal power he showed the great assembly: in the upper direction, past Buddha lands as numerous as the sands of forty-two Ganges Rivers, there is a country named Sarvagandhasugandhā. The Buddha is called Gandhahastin, and is present right now. The fragrance of that country, compared to the fragrances of humans and devas in the Buddha worlds of the ten directions, is foremost of all. In that land there are no names of śrāvakas or pratyekabuddhas; there is only a pure assembly of great bodhisattvas for whom the Buddha preaches the Dharma. Everything in that realm is made of fragrance: the multi-storied pavilions, the aromatic ground for walking meditation, and the parks and gardens are all fragrant. The fragrance of their food circulates universally through the immeasurable worlds of the ten directions. At that time, that Buddha and the bodhisattvas had just sat together to eat. There were devaputras all named Sugandhālaṃkāra, who had all aroused the mind of anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi, making offerings to that Buddha and the bodhisattvas.
This is the second: manifesting the pure land. ‘Sarvagandhasugandhā’ and ‘Gandhahastin’ and so forth show the names of circumstantial and direct retribution. There are no two-vehicle companions, so the retinue is pure. Made of fragrance into pavilions and so forth means circumstantial retribution is pure; sitting to eat and so forth means the Buddha-work is pure.
