2.33
“At the four corners of the bells were great jewelled platforms, which rose aloft, surpassing the immeasurable worlds of the zenith. Having passed beyond those worlds, they further transformed into yet greater jewelled platforms, sublime and lofty beyond description, gloriously radiant and subtle—as though hundreds of thousands of koṭis of Mount Sumerus were merged together. Upon those platforms was a great jewelled canopy made purely of vajra, variegated with interspersed, subtle lights, whose radiance hung down to transform into banners and curtains. From within the banners and curtains rained clouds of jewelled canopies; from the clouds of jewelled canopies rained clouds of flags and banners; from the clouds of flags and banners rained clouds of instrumental music; from the clouds of instrumental music rained clouds of jewelled light; from the clouds of jewelled light rained clouds of diverse incenses; from the clouds of diverse incenses rained clouds of lion thrones; from the clouds of lion thrones rained clouds of flower garlands; from the clouds of flower garlands rained clouds of wondrous sounds; from the clouds of wondrous sounds rained clouds of verse and praise; from the clouds of verse and praise rained clouds of precious jewels and offerings. Various offerings such as these all issued from the light of the white ūrṇā mark of the Bodhi tree.
