「億億光照北方,乃至北方無量世界,令北方地皆珊瑚色,虎魄、玫瑰、真珠、馬瑙、頗梨等寶以為間錯,一一寶中有一億光;一一光化作一師子。師子背上有七寶蓋,其蓋高妙如須彌山,琉璃為竿,雜寶綵華以為莊嚴,一一華上有百億化佛;一一佛面如閻浮檀金色、髮紺琉璃色、身百億寶色、臂紅真珠色、爪真金色、手中相白蓮華色、鹿王𨄔優曇華色、足下相毘楞摩尼色。從足下放五色光上至髮際,身諸毛孔皆有化光,一毛孔中有一億菩薩;一一菩薩臍有一大蓮華,其華高大如須彌山百寶所成,華上有佛其佛高大,與華正等亦出臍光。此相現時,眾寶師子奮迅若驚,師子眾毛,一一毛端有百億佛剎;一一佛剎,無量百億眾寶蓮華以為莊嚴,其蓮華上亦有百千大菩薩眾。是諸菩薩亦出臍相如上菩薩。如是菩薩眾色光明合成一山,其山高顯如真金臺,其臺四角有四梵幢,幢端皆有四億佛剎;一一剎中有百千塔,塔極小者,從閻浮提至於梵世,無數眾妙一切寶像以為莊嚴。是諸寶塔及化菩薩,皆共讚歎喜捨二法。若有眾生遇斯光者,得大智慧如舍利弗,總持不失猶如阿難。」
“Hundreds of millions of rays of light illuminate the northern direction, reaching to the immeasurable worlds of the northern direction, causing the earth of the northern direction to be entirely coral-colored, interlaced with amber, roselle gem, pearl, agate, crystal, and other treasures. In each treasure is a hundred million rays of light; each ray of light transforms into a lion. On the lion's back is a seven-jeweled parasol, the parasol lofty and wondrous like Mount Sumeru, with a staff of lapis lazuli and adorned with diverse jeweled colorful flowers. On each flower are ten billion transformation Buddhas; the face of each Buddha is of the color of Jambūnada gold, the hair of dark-blue lapis lazuli color, the body of the color of ten billion jewels, the arms of the color of red pearls, the nails of pure golden color, the marks in the hands of the color of white lotuses, the calves like those of the deer king of the color of the udumbara flower, and the marks under the feet of the color of vilambha-maṇi. From beneath the feet, five-colored light is emitted upward to the hairline. All the pores of the body possess transformative light; in a single pore are a hundred million bodhisattvas. At the navel of each bodhisattva is a great lotus flower, the flower lofty and large like Mount Sumeru, formed of a hundred treasures. Atop the flower is a Buddha; that Buddha is lofty and large, exactly equal to the flower, and also emits light from the navel. When this mark appears, the jeweled lions boldly move as if startled. From the lions' fur, at each hair-tip are ten billion Buddha-kṣetras; each Buddha-kṣetra is adorned with immeasurable tens of billions of diverse jeweled lotus flowers, and atop the lotus flowers are also hundreds of thousands of great assemblies of bodhisattvas. These bodhisattvas also display the mark of the navel, just like the bodhisattvas above. The diverse-colored radiances of these bodhisattvas combine to form a mountain, the mountain lofty and prominent like a terrace of pure gold. At the four corners of the terrace are four Brahmā banners, and at the tips of the banners are in each case four hundred million Buddha-kṣetras. In each kṣetra are hundreds of thousands of stūpas, the smallest stūpa reaching from Jambudvīpa up to the Brahmā world, adorned with countless wondrous images of all kinds of jewels. These jeweled stūpas and transformation bodhisattvas together praise the two dharmas of joy and equanimity. If there are sentient beings who encounter this light, they will attain great wisdom like Śāriputra, and their retention without loss will be like that of Ānanda.”
