1.65

"At that time the devas carefully observed the white hair without taking their eyes off it for an instant. They saw five tubes emerge downward from within the white hair and enter through the mouth, continuously streaming amṛta drop by drop, which flowed from the root of the tongue into his body, clear and transparent inside and out like a mountain of lapis lazuli, with hundreds of thousands of myriads of millions of great bodhisattvas manifesting within his own body. When the devas saw this, they joined their palms in joy: 'Previously we spoke foolishly, saying this great man's life would not last long. Now seeing these marks, he will surely attain Buddhahood beyond any doubt; the sun of unsurpassed wisdom will soon illuminate the world!' Having spoken these words, they circumambulated him hundreds of thousands of times and each returned to their palaces; this sound was heard throughout the six heavens of the desire realm."
