“Then the Tathāgata Mahābhijñājñānābhibhū silently consented.

“Furthermore, O monks, the great Brahmas in the five hundreds of thousands of koṭis of lands in the south each saw their palaces illuminated as they had never been before. Joyful and ecstatic, they were struck with wonder. They immediately assembled to discuss this matter together, asking: Why have our palaces been illuminated? 

“At that time there was a great Brahma, called Sudharma. He spoke to the assembly of Brahmas in verse saying: 

Our palaces are illuminated 

With brilliant light. 

There must be a reason for this, 

And we should seek its source. 

We have not seen such a phenomenon 

During the past hundreds of thousands of kalpas. 

Has a deva of great merit been born, 

Or has a buddha appeared in the world?

“Thereupon, having praised the Buddha in verse, the great Brahmas said this: O Bhagavat! We entreat you to turn the wheel of the Dharma out of your compassion for all and save sentient beings. 

“Then the great Brahmas spoke these verses wholeheartedly and in unison: 

O Great Sage! 

Make us very happy! 

Turn the wheel of the Dharma, 

Reveal the character of all dharmas, 

Save the suffering beings! 

If sentient beings hear this Dharma 

They will attain the path and be born as devas. 

The beings in the troubled states of being will decrease 

While those who persevere in the good will increase.

“Thereupon five hundred myriads of koṭis of great Brahmas went toward the northwest with their palaces, carrying heavenly flowers in their robes, to enquire about this phenomenon. They saw the Tathāgata Mahābhijñājñānābhibhū on the terrace of enlightenment, sitting on the lion seat under the bodhi tree. He was respectfully surrounded by humans and such nonhumans as devas, nāga kings, gandharvas, kiṃnaras, and mahoragas. They also saw the sixteen princes requesting the Buddha to turn the wheel of the Dharma. 

“Then all the Brahmas bowed until their foreheads touched the Buddha’s feet and then circled around him one hundred thousand times. They scattered heavenly flowers on the Buddha, and the flowers they scattered were piled up as high as Mount Sumeru. They also paid homage to the Buddha’s bodhi tree. Having reverently offered the Buddha flowers, they presented their palaces to him, saying: Please accept the palaces we now offer you and benefit us through your compassion! 

“Then the great Brahmas spoke these verses wholeheartedly and in unison before the Buddha: 

O Great Sage, Deva of Devas! 

We now bow to the one 

Whose voice is as beautiful as the kalaviṅka bird’s 

And who has compassion for sentient beings. 

The Bhagavat is truly extraordinary 

And can only be seen once In an extremely long time. 

One hundred and eighty kalpas 

Have passed away fruitlessly, 

And no buddhas have appeared during this time. 

The worlds have been filled With people in the three troubled states of being, 

And the devas have decreased. 

The Buddha has now appeared in the world 

To be the eyes of sentient beings. 

He will be the refuge of the world 

And will seek to protect all. 

As the father of sentient beings, 

He is the compassionate benefactor. 

Because of our past merits, 

We now have the good fortune to be able 

To meet the Bhagavat!

Even since the olden times, 

This illumination of all of our palaces

Since we have never seen such a phenomenon, 

We should seek thoroughly for its source. 

Even if we have to pass

Possibly a buddha has appeared in the world 

To save suffering sentient beings.

In order to pay homage to the Buddha.

The Buddha addressed the monks, saying: “When the Buddha Mahābhijñājñānābhibhū attained highest, complete enlightenment, five hundred myriads of koṭis of buddha worlds in each of the ten directions quaked in six ways. The dark places between the worlds, where the rays of the sun and moon had been unable to penetrate, were brightly illuminated. The sentient beings there were able to see each other and said: How is it possible that sentient beings have suddenly appeared here? 

“Moreover, those worlds from the heavenly palaces up to the palaces of the Brahmas, also quaked in six ways. The great ray of light shone everywhere, filling the worlds with a radiance that surpassed the light of the devas. 

“At that time the palaces of Brahmas in the five hundred myriads of koṭis of worlds in the east were illuminated twice as brightly as usual. The great Brahmas each thought: The palaces are illuminated now as never before. What has caused this phenomenon?

“At that time all of the great Brahmas approached each other to discuss this matter. In that assembly there was a great Brahma called Sarvasattvatrātar who spoke to the assembly of Brahmas in verse, saying:

This illumination of our palaces 

Has never occurred before! 

Let us find out 

The reason for this! 

This great ray of light 

Has illuminated the ten directions. 

Has a deva of great merit been born, 

Or has a buddha appeared in the world?
