1.7

「時諸天子作是願已,是諸寶冠化作五百萬億寶宮,一一寶宮有七重垣,一一垣七寶所成,一一寶出五百億光明,一一光明中有五百億蓮華,一一蓮華化作五百億七寶行樹,一一樹葉有五百億寶色,一一寶色有五百億閻浮檀金光,一一閻浮檀金光中出五百億諸天寶女,一一寶女住立樹下,執百億寶無數瓔珞,出妙音樂,時樂音中演說不退轉地法輪之行。其樹生果如頗梨色,一切眾色入頗梨色中,是諸光明右旋婉轉流出眾音,眾音演說大慈大悲法。一一垣牆高六十二由旬、厚十四由旬,五百億龍王圍繞此垣,一一龍王雨五百億七寶行樹,莊嚴垣上。自然有風吹動此樹,樹相掁觸,演說苦、空、無常、無我、諸波羅蜜。

“When the devaputras have made this vow, these jewel crowns transform into five hundred million koṭis of jewel palaces. Each jewel palace has seven tiers of walls, each wall made of the seven treasures. Each treasure emits fifty billion rays of light, and within each ray of light are fifty billion lotus blossoms. Each lotus blossom transforms into fifty billion rows of trees made of the seven treasures. Each leaf has fifty billion jewel colours, and each jewel colour has fifty billion rays of Jambūnada gold light. From within each ray of Jambūnada gold light emerge fifty billion divine jewel maidens, each jewel maiden standing under a tree holding a hundred koṭis of jewels and countless necklaces. They produce wondrous music, and within the music they expound the practices of the turning of the Dharma wheel of the non-retrogressive stage. The fruits borne by those trees are like crystal in colour; all manner of colours enter into the crystal colour. These lights swirl gracefully to the right, flowing forth various sounds, and these various sounds expound the Dharma of great benevolence and great compassion. Each enclosing wall is sixty-two yojanas high and fourteen yojanas thick. Fifty billion nāga kings encircle these walls, and each nāga king rains down fifty billion rows of trees of the seven treasures to adorn the walls. Naturally a breeze stirs these trees; striking against one another, they expound suffering, emptiness, impermanence, non-self, and the various pāramitās.
