於是賢者舍利弗心念日時欲過此諸大人當於何食

於是舍利弗心念日時欲至此諸菩薩當於何食

時舍利子作是思惟食時將至此摩訶薩說法未起我等聲聞及諸菩薩當於何食

Thereupon, the venerable Śāriputra thought to himself, "If these great bodhisattvas do not adjourn before noontime, when are they going to eat?"

維摩詰知其意而應曰唯然賢者若如來說八解之行豈雜欲食而聞法乎要聞法者當為先食

The Licchavi Vimalakīrti, knowing telepathically the thought of the venerable Śāriputra, spoke to him: "Reverend Śāriputra, the Tathāgata has taught the eight liberations. You should concentrate on those liberations, listening to the Dharma with a mind free of preoccupations with material things. Just wait a minute, reverend Śāriputra, and you will eat such food as you have never before tasted."

Then, the Licchavi Vimalakīrti set himself in such a concentration and performed such a miraculous feat (that those bodhisattvas and those great disciples were enabled to see the universe called Sarvagandhasugandha, )which is located in the direction of the zenith, beyond as many buddha-fields as there are sands in forty-two Ganges rivers. that those bodhisattvas and those great disciples were enabled to see the universe called Sarvagandhasugandha, (which is located in the direction of the zenith, beyond as many buddha-fields as there are sands in forty-two Ganges rivers. ) There the Tathāgata named Sugandhakūṭa resides, lives, and is manifest. In that universe, (the trees emit a fragrance that far surpasses all the fragrances,) human and divine, of all the buddha-fields of the ten directions. In that universe, the trees emit a fragrance that far surpasses all the fragrances, (human and divine, of all the buddha-fields of the ten directions. ) In that universe, even the names "disciple" and "solitary sage" do not exist, and the Tathāgata Sugandhakūṭa teaches the Dharma to a gathering of bodhisattvas only. In that universe, all the houses, the avenues, the parks, and the palaces are made of various perfumes, and the fragrance of the food eaten by those bodhisattvas pervades immeasurable universes.

At this time, the Tathāgata Sugandhakūṭa sat down with his bodhisattvas to take his meal, and the deities called Gandhavyūhāhāra, who were all devoted to the Mahāyāna, served and attended upon the Buddha and his bodhisattvas. Everyone in the gathering at the house of Vimalakīrti was able to see distinctly this universe wherein the Tathāgata Sugandhakūṭa and his bodhisattvas were taking their meal.

The Licchavi Vimalakīrti addressed the whole gathering of bodhisattvas: "Good sirs, is there any among you who would like to go to that buddha-field to bring back some food?" But, restrained by the supernatural power of Mañjuśrī, none of them volunteered to go.

答曰如佛所言未知當學

Mañjuśrī replied, "Noble sir, did not the Tathāgata declare, ’Those who are unlearned should not be despised’?"

Then, the Licchavi Vimalakīrti, without rising from his couch, magically emanated an incarnation-bodhisattva, whose body was of golden color, adorned with the auspicious signs and marks, and of such an appearance that he outshone the whole assembly.

The Licchavi Vimalakīrti addressed that incarnated bodhisattva: "Noble son, go in the direction of the zenith and when you have crossed as many buddha-fields as there are sands in forty-two Ganges rivers, you will reach a universe called Sarvagandhasugandhā, where you will find the Tathāgata Sugandhakūṭa taking his meal. Go to him and, having bowed down at his feet, make the following request of him: "’The Licchavi Vimalakīrti bows down one hundred thousand times at your feet, O Lord, and asks after your health - if you have but little trouble, little discomfort, little unrest; if you are strong, well, without complaint, and living in touch with supreme happiness.’ " Having thus asked after his health, you should request of him ’Vimalakīrti asks the Lord to give me the remains of your meal, with which he will accomplish the buddha-work in the universe called Sahā. Thus, those living beings with inferior aspirations will be inspired with lofty aspirations, and the good name of the Tathāgata will be celebrated far and wide."

the Tathāgata Sugandhakūṭa said, "Noble sons, the universe Sahā exists beyond as many buddha-fields in the direction of the nadir as there are sands in forty-two Ganges rivers. There the Tathāgata Śākyamuni teaches the Dharma to living beings who aspire to the inferior ways, in that buddha-field tainted with five corruptions. There the bodhisattva Vimalakīrti, who lives in the inconceivable liberation, teaches the Dharma to the bodhisattvas. He sends this incarnation-bodhisattva here in order to celebrate my name, in order to show the advantages of this universe, and in order to increase the roots of virtue of those bodhisattvas."

The bodhisattvas exclaimed, "How great must that bodhisattva be himself if his magical incarnation is thus endowed with supernatural power, strength, and fearlessness!"

The Tathāgata said, "The greatness of that bodhisattva is such that he sends magical incarnations to all the buddha-fields of the ten directions, and all these incarnations accomplish the buddha-work for all the living beings in all those buddha-fields."

Then, the Tathāgata Sugandhakūṭa poured some of his food, impregnated with all perfumes, into a fragrant vessel and gave it to the incarnation-bodhisattva. And the ninety million bodhisattvas of that universe volunteered to go along with him: "Lord, we also would like to go to that universe Sahā, to see, honor, and serve the Buddha Śākyamuni and to see Vimalakīrti and those bodhisattvas."

The Tathāgata declared, "Noble sons, go ahead if you think it is the right time. But, lest those living beings become mad and intoxicated, go without your perfumes. And, lest those living beings of the Sahā world become jealous of you, change your bodies to hide your beauty. And do not conceive ideas of contempt and aversion for that universe. Why? Noble sons, a buddha-field is a field of pure space, but the Lord Buddhas, in order to develop living beings, do not reveal all at once the pure realm of the Buddha."

Then the incarnation-bodhisattva took the food and departed with the ninety million bodhisattvas and by the power of the Buddha and the supernatural operation of Vimalakīrti, disappeared from that universe Sarvagandhasugandhā and stood again in the house of Vimalakīrti in a fraction of a second.

The Licchavi Vimalakīrti created ninety million lion-thrones exactly like those already there, and the bodhisattvas were seated. Then, the incarnation-bodhisattva gave the vessel full of food to Vimalakīrti, and the fragrance of that food permeated the entire great city of Vaiśālī and its sweet perfume spread throughout one hundred universes. Within the city of Vaiśālī, the brahmans, householders, and even the Licchavi chieftain Candracchattra, having noticed this fragrance, were amazed and filled with wonder. They were so cleansed in body and mind that they came at once to the house of Vimalakīrti, along with all eighty-four thousand of the Licchavis. Seeing there the bodhisattvas seated on the high, wide, and beautiful lion-thrones, they were filled with admiration and great joy. They all bowed down to those great disciples and bodhisattvas and then sat down to one side. And the gods of the earth, the gods of the desire-world, and the gods of the material world, attracted by the perfume, also came to the house of Vimalakīrti.
