He was like the sun first rising above a mountain peak, or like a wheel-turning king gracing his great palace, flanked and followed by his assisting ministers; or again like Śakra openly presiding over Trāyastriṃśa, or like the Brahmā King supreme among the seven heavens, or like snow upon a high mountain brilliantly and universally manifest. Her joy doubled, and she reflected further: “Now to behold the Buddha and the Buddha's disciples truly fulfills my past aspiration! I wish to present and offer food to the Fully Awakened One. Yet when I quietly consider my foolish husband, who has no faith in the Way and virtue and whose mind is set upon wrong doubts and the sixty-two views, if he sees what I give, he will surely harbor resentment. Owing to faults in past lives, I lost my valiant male form and fell into this female guise, held under another’s restraint. Wishing to make an offering to the Holy Honoured One, I am not free to do as I wish. How should I act while accommodating and guarding his mind?” She then took a strainer of rice, took a single ladle of rice broth, and offered it to the Buddha. By the Buddha's spiritual power, the bowl naturally filled with food of a hundred flavors.
