1.2

At one time the Buddha was in the country of Śrāvastī, in the Jetavana Anāthapiṇḍadārāma, together with a great assembly of five thousand arhats, headed by Mahākāśyapa, Uruvilvā Kāśyapa, Gayā Kāśyapa, Nadī Kāśyapa, Śāriputra, Mahāmaudgalyāyana, Nanda, Aniruddha, Kapphiṇa, Ājñātakauṇḍinya, Ānanda, Rāhula, and others. There was also an immeasurable host of great bodhisattva-mahāsattvas, headed by Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Mañjuśrī Bodhisattva, Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, Ākāśagarbha Bodhisattva, Maitreya Bodhisattva, and Vajragarbha Bodhisattva. There was also an immeasurable host of mantra deities, headed by the spirit king Bhṛkuṭī and the spirit Hayagrīva. There was also an immeasurable host of vajras, headed by the vajra Vajrāṭṭahāsa. There was also the son of heaven Sūrya. There was also an immeasurable host of yakṣa kings, headed by Āṭavaka. There were also the son of heaven Sūrya, the son of heaven Candra, the four great heavenly kings, the heavenly king of Trāyastriṃśa, Śakra Devānām Indra, Maheśvara, […] Mahābrahmā, Tuṣita Heaven, Śuddhāvāsa Heaven, Maheśvara Heaven, the deity Puṇyā, the deity Viśvakarman, together with their retinues, devas, nāgas, ghosts and spirits, asuras, garuḍas, gandharvas, kiṃnaras, mahoragas, kumbhāṇḍas, pūtanas, and so forth. There were also immeasurable human and heavenly kings, dragon kings, rākṣasa kings, and so forth; monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen. Immeasurable kotis and nayutas of śrāvakas, bodhisattvas, human and heavenly hosts, and the eight classes of dragons and spirits, [numbering as grains of sand] of the Ganges, surrounded him before and behind, reverently making offerings, honoring, praising, and scattering various flowers and incenses over the Buddha. Joyfully joining their palms and bowing their heads in reverence, each circumambulated the Buddha three times, then withdrew and sat to one side, gazing up at the Tathāgata without turning their eyes away for even an instant, all wishing to hear the most supreme Dharma.
