He broadly set up curtains and canopies, and erected banners and pennants. From the crossroads to the gate of the vihāra, railings flanked the road, lamps were laid out like stars, and incense burners stood at every step. Heavenly music and diverse performers sang of the supreme spiritual power of the Buddha and praised the pure, chaste virtue of the śramaṇas. Scattered flowers and varied jewels fell profusely like rain, scented water was sprinkled on the ground, and fine rugs were spread out. The king personally prepared the provisions throughout the night with his own hands. In person, he went to receive and welcome \[the Buddha\], bowed his head to the ground, knelt on both knees, and said: "May the World-Honoured One bestow great compassion; by projecting your presence, deliver all sentient beings!" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.742.1.6) - [Next: 1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.742.1.8) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.742.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.742~en-mt.1.7) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.742.1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.742.1.7) · Pramāṇa
