### [17.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.441.17.8)

佛告比丘：「彼諸微塵可知其數，彼同名母、同名父、同名城、同名弟子、同名侍者、同名釋迦牟尼佛不可知數。如釋迦牟尼，不勝幢佛亦如是；盧舍那佛亦如是；無垢勝眼佛亦如是；無垢光明眼佛亦如是；光明清淨王佛亦如是；善無垢清淨佛亦如是；成就無邊功德勝王佛亦如是；寶光明佛亦如是；寂修佛亦如是；聲德佛亦如是；波頭摩勝佛亦如是；日月佛亦如是；普寶蓋佛亦如是。比丘！汝當歸命如是等阿僧祇同名佛。

> "The Buddha told the bhikṣu: "The number of those dust motes could be known, but the number of those Buddhas with the identical name of Śākyamuni, who had the identical names of mothers, identical names of fathers, identical names of cities, identical names of disciples, and identical names of attendants, cannot be known. Just as with Śākyamuni, so too with the Buddhas named Fushengzhuang (Invincible Banner); so too with the Buddhas named Luchena (Locana); so too with the Buddhas named Wugoushengyan (Undefiled Supreme Eye); so too with the Buddhas named Wugouguangmingyan (Undefiled Radiant Eye); so too with the Buddhas named Guangmingqingjingwang (Radiant Pure King); so too with the Buddhas named Shanwugouqingjing (Good Undefiled Purity); so too with the Buddhas named Chengjiuwubian-gongdeshengwang (Accomplished Boundless Merit Supreme King); so too with the Buddhas named Baoguangming (Treasure Radiance); so too with the Buddhas named Jixiu (Peaceful Cultivation); so too with the Buddhas named Shengde (Sound Virtue); so too with the Buddhas named Botuomosheng (Padma Supreme); so too with the Buddhas named Riyue (Sun and Moon); and so too with the Buddhas named Pubaogai (Universal Treasure Canopy). Bhikṣu! You should take refuge in all such asaṃkhyeyas of Buddhas of identical names.
