"In the center of the terrace is a seven-jeweled lotus whose stamens are formed of a hundred jewels and whose calyx is a great maṇi. A bodhisattva sits in full lotus posture [upon it], named Samantabhadra. His body is of white jade color with fifty kinds of light, and the lights have fifty kinds of color forming a nimbus. From all the pores of his body flow golden light, and at the tips of the golden rays are immeasurable manifested Buddhas. Accompanied by manifested bodhisattvas as his retinue, with composed and gentle steps, he rains down great precious flowers and arrives before the practitioner. The elephant opens its mouth, and upon the tusks, the jade maidens in the pools play drums, musical instruments, and sing to strings; their sounds are subtle and wondrous, praising the Mahāyāna path of the one reality.
