4.32

"Our original vows / are now brought to fruition; / golden bodies with gentle voices, / fully endowed with all the marks. / Seeking boundless wisdom, / we are definitively free of doubt; / excellent is the Lord of the Three Realms, / most supreme, whom none can surpass. / Formerly in Tuṣita Heaven, / I chose the place to take birth; / descending to enter my mother's womb, / I gathered all the Tathāgatas together. / Sentient beings outside without affinity / said that I had not attained the path; / through the womb I transformed sentient beings / twice as many as at the time of attaining Buddhahood. / The sūtras spoken previously and subsequently / would take eighty-four billion elephants; / the strength of elephants and the strength of men / could not bear the burden of carrying them. / I caused my joyful son / to memorize firmly without forgetting or losing anything; / leaving behind the Dharma without attaining the path, / to propagate the true Dharma of the womb. / The practices of Buddhas are without distinction, / equal and not diverse; / only a Buddha can know a Buddha's / quantity of merits and their meanings. / If one wishes to conceive of the Buddha's / extraordinary deeds that he has practiced, / through kalpas and countless kalpas, / one cannot attain even the slightest fraction."
