. . . . . . . . . . . . .

爾時世尊說是偈已，告諸大衆，唱如是言： . “我此弟子摩訶迦葉，於未來世，當得奉覲三百萬億諸佛世尊，供養(009_0748_a)恭敬，尊重讚歎，廣宣諸佛無量大法。於最後身，得成爲佛，名曰光明如來、應供、正遍知、明行足、善逝、世閒解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛、世尊。國名光德，劫名大莊嚴。佛壽十二小劫，正法住世二十小劫，像法亦住二十小劫。國界嚴飾，無諸穢惡、瓦礫荊棘、便利不淨。其土平正，無有高下、坑坎堆阜。琉璃爲地，寶樹行列，黃金爲繩，以界道側，散諸寶華，周遍淸淨。其國菩薩無量千億，諸聲聞衆亦復無數，無有魔事，雖有魔及魔民，皆護佛法。”

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

After pronouncing these stanzas the Lord addressed the complete assembly of monks: I announce to you, monks, I make known to you that the monk Kâsyapa, my disciple, here present, shall do homage to thirty thousand kotis of Buddhas; shall respect, honour, and worship them; and shall keep the true law of those Lords and Buddhas. In his last bodily existence in the world Avabhâsa (i. e. lustre), in the age (Æon) Mahâvyûha (i.e. great division) he shall be a Tathâgata, an Arhat, &c. &c., by the name of Rasmiprabhâsa (i.e. beaming with rays). His lifetime shall last twelve intermediate kalpas, and his true law twenty intermediate kalpas; the counterfeit of his true law shall last as many intermediate kalpas. His Buddha-field will be pure, clean, devoid of stones, grit, gravel; of pits and precipices; devoid of gutters and dirty pools; even, pretty, beautiful, and pleasant to see; consisting of lapis lazuli, adorned with jewel-trees, and looking like a checker-board with eight compartments set off with gold threads. It will be strewed with flowers, and many hundred thousand Bodhisattvas are to appear in it. As to disciples, there will be innumerable hundred thousands of myriads of kotis of them. Neither Mâra the evil one, nor his host will be discoverable in it, though Mâra and his followers shall afterwards be there; for they will apply themselves to receive the true law under the command of that very Lord Rasmiprabhâsa.

atha khalu bhagavāṃs tasyāṃ velāyām imā gāthā abhāṣata -

.

爾時世尊欲重宣此義，而說偈言：

.

And on that occasion the Lord uttered the following stanzas:

paśyāmyahaṃ bhikṣava buddhacakṣuṣā sthaviro hyayaṃ kāśyapa buddha bheṣyati |
anāgate ’dhvāni asaṃkhyakalpe kṛtvāna pūjāṃ dvipadottamānām || 6.1 ||

.

告諸比丘我以佛眼見是迦葉於未來世過無數劫當得作佛

.

1. With my Buddha-eye, monks, I see that the senior Kâsyapa here shall become a Buddha at a future epoch, in an incalculable Æon, after he shall have paid homage to the most high of men.

triṃśatsahasrāḥ paripūrṇakoṭyo jinānayaṃ drakṣyati kāśyapo hyayam |
cariṣyatī tatra ca brahmacaryaṃ bauddhasya jñānasya kṛtena bhikṣavaḥ || 6.2 ||

.

而於來世供養奉覲三百萬億諸佛世尊爲佛智慧淨修梵行

.

2. This Kâsyapa shall see fully thirty thousand kotis of Ginas, under whom he shall lead a spiritual life for the sake of Buddha-knowledge.

kṛtvāna pūjāṃ dvipadottamānāṃ samudāniya jñānamidaṃ anuttaram |
sa paścime cocchrayi lokanātho bhaviṣyate apratimo maharṣiḥ || 6.3 ||

.

供養最上二足尊已修習一切無上之慧於最後身得成爲佛

.

3. After having paid homage to those highest of men and acquired that supreme knowledge, he shall in his last bodily existence be a Lord of the world, a matchless, great Seer.

kṣetraṃ ca tasya pravaraṃ bhaviṣyati vicitra śuddhaṃ śubha darśanīyam | (98,1) manojñarūpaṃ sada premaṇīyaṃ suvarṇasūtraiḥ samalaṃkṛtaṃ ca || 6.4 ||

. .

其土淸淨琉璃爲地多諸寶樹行列道側金繩界道

. .

4. And his field will be magnificent, excellent, pure, goodly, beautiful, pretty, nice, ever delightful, and set off with gold threads.

ratnāmayā vṛkṣa tahiṃ vicitrā aṣṭāpadasmiṃ tahi ekameke |
manojñagandhaṃ ca vimuñcamānā bheṣyanti kṣetrasmi imasmi bhikṣo || 6.5 ||

.

見者歡喜常出好香散衆名華

.

5. That field, monks, (appearing like) a board divided into eight compartments, will have several jewel-trees, one in each compartment, from which issues a delicious odour.

puṣpaprakāraiḥ samalaṃkṛtaṃ ca vicitrapuṣpair upaśobhitaṃ ca |
śvabhraprapātā na ca tatra santi samaṃ śivaṃ bheṣyati darśanīyam || 6.6 ||

.

種種奇妙以爲莊嚴其地平正無有丘坑

.

6. It will be adorned with plenty of flowers, and embellished with variegated blossoms; in it are no pits nor precipices; it is even, goodly, beautiful.

tahi bodhisattvāna sahasrakoṭyaḥ sudāntacittāna maharddhikānām |
vaipulyasūtrāntadharāṇa tāyināṃ bahū bhaviṣyanti sahasra neke || 6.7 ||

.

(009_0748_b)諸菩薩衆不可稱計其心調柔逮大神通

.

7. There will be found hundreds of kotis of Bodhisattvas, subdued of mind and of great; magical power, mighty keepers of Sûtrântas of great extension.

anāsravā antimadehadhāriṇo bheṣyanti ye śrāvaka dharmarājñaḥ |
pramāṇu teṣāṃ na kadāci vidyate divyena jñānena gaṇitva kalpān || 6.8 ||

.

奉持諸佛大乘經典諸聲聞衆無漏後身法王之子亦不可計乃以天眼不能數知

.

8. As to disciples, faultless, princes of the law, standing in their last period of life, their number can never be known, even if one should go on counting for Æons, and that with the aid of divine knowledge.

so dvādaśa antarakalpa sthāsyati saddharma viṃśāntarakalpa sthāsyati |
pratirūpakaścāntarakalpa viṃśatiṃ raśmiprabhāsasya viyūha bheṣyati || 6.9 ||

.

其佛當壽十二小劫正法住世二十小劫像法亦住二十小劫光明世尊其事如是

.

9. He himself shall stay twelve intermediate kalpas, and his true law twenty complete Æons; the counterfeit is to continue as many Æons, in the domain of Rasmiprabhâsa.

atha khalv āyuṣmān mahāmaudgalyāyanaḥ sthavira āyuṣmāṃś ca subhūtir āyuṣmāṃś ca mahākātyāyanaḥ pravepamānaiḥ kāyair bhagavantam animiṣair netrair vyavalokayanti sma |
tasyāṃ ca velāyāṃ pṛthak pṛthaṅamanaḥsaṃgītyā imā gāthā abhāṣanta -

.

爾時大目犍連、須菩提、摩訶迦栴延等，皆悉悚慄，一心合掌，瞻仰尊顏，目不蹔捨，卽共同聲而說偈言：

.

Thereupon the venerable senior Mahâ-Maudgalyâyana, the venerable Subhûti, and the venerable Mahâ-Kâtyâyana, their bodies trembling, gazed up to the Lord with unblenching eyes, and at the same moment severally uttered, in mental concert, the following stanzas :

arhanta he mahāvīra śākyasiṃha narottama |
asmākamanukampāya buddhaśabdamudīraya || 6.10 ||

.

大雄猛世尊諸釋之法王哀愍我等故而賜佛音聲

.

10. O hallowed one (Arhat), great hero, Sâkya-lion, most high of men! out of compassion to us speak the Buddha-word.

avaśyamavasaraṃ jñātvā asmākaṃ pi narottama |
amṛteneva siñcitvā vyākuruṣva vibhojana || 6.11 ||

.

若知我深心見爲授記者如以甘露灑除熱得淸涼

.

11. The highest of men, the Gina, he who knows the fatal term, will, as it were, sprinkle us with nectar by predicting our destiny also.

durbhikṣādāgataḥ kaścinnaro labdhvā subhojanam |
pratīkṣa bhūya ucyeta hastaprāptasmi bhojane || 6.12 ||

.

如從飢國來忽遇大王膳心猶懷疑懼未敢卽便食

.

12. (It is as if) a certain man, in time of famine, comes and gets good food, but to whom, when the food is already in his hands, they say that he should wait.

(99,1) evamevotsukā asmo hīnayānaṃ vicintaya |
duṣkālabhuktasattvā vā buddhajñānaṃ labhāmahe || 6.13 ||

.

若復得王教然後乃敢食我等亦如是每惟小乘過

.

13. Similarly it was with us, who after minding the lower vehicle, at the calamitous conjuncture of a bad time, were longing for Buddha-knowledge.

na tāvad asmān saṃbuddho vyākaroti mahāmuniḥ |
yathā hastasmi prakṣiptaṃ na tadbhuñjīta bhojanam || 6.14 ||

.

不知當云何得佛無上慧雖聞佛音聲言我等作佛

.

14. But the perfectly-enlightened great Seer has not yet favoured us with a prediction (of our destiny), as if he would say: Do not eat the food that has been put into your hand.

evaṃ ca utsukā vīra śrutvā ghoṣam anuttaram |
vyākṛtā yada bheṣyāmastadā bheṣyāma nirvṛtāḥ || 6.15 ||

.

心尚懷憂懼如未敢便食若蒙佛授記爾乃快安樂

.

15. Quite so, O hero, we were longing as we heard the exalted voice (and thought): Then shall we be at rest [And felicitous, blest, beatified (nirvritra)], when we shall have received a prediction.

vyākarohi mahāvīra hitaiṣī anukampakaḥ |
api dāridryacittānāṃ bhaved anto mahāmune || 6.16 ||

.

大雄猛世尊常欲安世閒願賜我等記如飢須教食

.

16. Utter a prediction, O great hero, so benevolent and merciful! let there be an end of our feeling of poverty!

atha khalu bhagavāṃs teṣā mahāśrāvakāṇāṃ sthavirāṇām imam evaṃrūpaṃ cetasaiva cetaḥparivitarkamājñāya punar api sarvāvantaṃ bhikṣusaṃgham āmantrayate sma - ayaṃ me bhikṣavo mahāśrāvakaḥ sthaviraḥ subhūtistriṃśata eva buddhakoṭīnayutaśatasahasrāṇāṃ satkāraṃ kariṣyati, gurukāraṃ mānanāṃ pūjanāmarcanāmapacāyanāṃ kariṣyati | tatra ca brahmacaryaṃ cariṣyati, bodhiṃ ca samudānayiṣyati | evaṃrūpāṃścādhikārān kṛtvā paścime samucchraye śaśiketurnāma tathāgato ’rhan samyaksaṃbuddho loke bhaviṣyati vidyācaraṇasaṃpannaḥ sugato lokavid anuttaraḥ puruṣadamyasārathiḥ śāstā devānāṃ ca manuṣyāṇāṃ ca buddho bhagavān | ratnasaṃbhavaṃ ca nāmāsya tad buddhakṣetraṃ bhaviṣyati | ratnāvabhāsaś ca nāma sa kalpo bhaviṣyati | samaṃ ca tad buddhakṣetraṃ bhaviṣyati, ramaṇīyaṃ sphaṭikamayaṃ ratnavṛkṣavicitritamapagataśvabhraprapātamapagatagūtholigallaṃ manojñaṃ puṣpābhikīrṇam | kūṭāgāraparibhogeṣu cātra puruṣā vāsaṃ kalpayiṣyanti | bahavaścāsya śrāvakā bhaviṣyantyaparimāṇāḥ, yeṣāṃ na śakyaṃ gaṇanayā paryanto ’dhigantum | bahūni cātra bodhisattvakoṭīnayutaśatasahasrāṇi bhaviḥyanti | tasya ca bhagavato dvādaśāntarakalpānāyuḥpramāṇaṃ bhaviḥyati | viṃśatiṃ cāntarakalpān saddharmaḥ sthāsyati | viṃśatimevāntarakalpān saddharmapratirūpakaḥ sthāsyati | sa ca bhagavān vaihāyasam antarīkāe sthitvā abhīkāṇaṃ dharmaṃ deśayiḥyati, bahūni ca bodhisattvaśatasahasrāṇi bahūni ca śrāvakaśatasahasrāṇi vineḥyati ||

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

爾時世尊知諸大弟子心之所念，告諸比丘： “是須菩提，於當來世，奉覲三百萬億那由他佛，供養恭敬、尊重讚(009_0748_c)歎，常修梵行，具菩薩道。於最後身、得成爲佛，號曰名相如來、應供、正遍知、明行足、善逝、世閒解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛、世尊。劫名有寶。國名寶生。 . 其土平正，頗梨爲地，寶樹莊嚴，無諸丘坑、沙礫、荊棘、便利之穢，寶華覆地，周遍淸淨。其土人民，皆處寶臺、珍妙樓閣。聲聞弟子，無量無邊，筭數譬喩所不能知。諸菩薩衆，無數千萬億那由他。佛壽十二小劫，正法住世二十小劫，像法亦住二十小劫。其佛常處虛空爲衆說法，度脫無量菩薩及聲聞衆。”

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

And the Lord, who in his mind apprehended the thoughts arising in the minds of those great senior disciples, again addressed the complete assembly of monks: This great disciple of mine, monks, the senior Subhûti, shall likewise pay homage to thirty hundred thousand myriads of kotis of Buddhas; shall show them respect, honour, reverence, veneration, and worship. Under them shall he lead a spiritual life and achieve enlightenment. After the performance of such duties shall he, in his last bodily existence, become a Tathâgata in the world, an Arhat, &c. &c., by the name of Sasiketu [moon-signal]. His Buddha-field will be called Ratnasambhava and his epoch Ratnaprabhâsa. And that Buddha-field will be even, beautiful, crystalline, variegated with jewel-trees, devoid of pits and precipices, devoid of sewers, nice, covered with flowers. And there will men have their abode in palaces (or towers) given them for their use. In it will be many disciples, innumerable, so that it would be impossible to terminate the calculation. Many hundred thousand myriads of kotis of Bodhisattvas also will be there. The lifetime of that Lord is to last twelve intermediate kalpas; his true law is to continue twenty intermediate kalpas, and its counterfeit as many. That Lord will, while standing poised in the firmament [Properly, standing as a great meteor], preach the law to the monks, and educate many thousands of Bodhisattvas and disciples.

atha khalu bhagavāṃs tasyāṃ velāyām imā gāthā abhāṣata -

.

爾時，世尊欲重宣此義，而說偈言：

.

And on that occasion the Lord uttered the following stanzas:

ārocayāmi ahamadya bhikṣavaḥ prativedayāmyadya mamā śṛṇotha |
sthaviraḥ subhūtir mama śrāvako ’yaṃ bhaviṣyate buddha anāgate ’dhvani || 6.17 ||

.

諸比丘衆今告汝等皆當一心聽我所說我大弟子須菩提者當得作佛號曰名相

.

17. I have something to announce monks, something to make known; listen then to me: The senior Subhûti, my disciple, shall in days to come be a Buddha.

buddhāṃś ca paśyitva mahānubhāvān triṃśacca pūrṇānayutāna koṭīḥ | (100,1) cariṣyate carya tadānulomikīmimasya jñānasya kṛtena caiṣaḥ || 6.18 ||

. .

當供無數萬億諸佛隨佛所行漸具大道

. .

18. After having seen of most mighty Buddhas thirty myriads of kotis in full, he shall enter upon the straight course to obtain this knowledge.

sa paścime vīra samucchrayasmin dvātriṃśatīlakṣaṇarūpadhārī |
suvarṇayūpapratimo maharṣirbhaviṣyate lokahitānukampī || 6.19 ||

.

最後身得三十二相端正姝妙猶如寶山

.

19. In his last bodily existence shall the hero, possessed of the thirty-two distinctive signs, become a great Seer, similar to a column of gold, beneficial and bounteous to the world.

sudarśanīyaṃ ca sukṣetra bheṣyati iṣṭaṃ manojñaṃ ca mahājanasya |
vihariṣyate yatra sa lokabandhustāritva prāṇīnayutāna koṭīḥ || 6.20 ||

.

其佛國土嚴淨第一衆生見者無不愛樂

.

20. The field where that friend of the world shall save myriads of kotis of living beings will be most beautiful, pretty, and delightful to people at large.

bahubodhisattvātra mahānubhāvā avivartyacakrasya pravartitāraḥ |
tīkṣṇendriyāstasya jinasya śāsane ye śobhayiṣyanti ta buddhakṣetram || 6.21 ||

.

佛於其中度無量衆其佛法中多諸菩薩皆悉利根轉不退輪彼國常以 (009_0749_a)菩薩莊嚴

.

21. In it will be many Bodhisattvas to turn the wheel that never rolls back (or never deviates); endowed with keen faculties they will, under that Gina, be the ornaments of the Buddha-field.

bahuśrāvakās tasya na saṃkhya teṣāṃ pramāṇu naivāsti kadāci teṣām |
ṣaḍabhijña traividya maharddhikāś ca aṣṭāvimokṣeṣu pratiṣṭhitāś ca || 6.22 ||

.

諸聲聞衆不可稱數皆得三明具六神通住八解脫有大威德

.

22. His disciples are so numerous as to pass calculation and measure; gifted with the six transcendent faculties, the triple science and magic power; firm in the eight emancipations.

acintiyaṃ ṛddhibalaṃ ca bheṣyati prakāśayantasyimamagrabodhim |
devā manuṣyā yatha gaṅgavālikā bheṣyanti tasyo satataṃ kṛtāñjalī || 6.23 ||

.

其佛說法現於無量神通變化不可思議諸天人民數如恒沙

.

23. His magic power, while he reveals supreme enlightenment, is inconceivable. Gods and men, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, will always reverentially salute him with joined hands.

so dvādaśo antarakalpa sthāsy api saddharmu viṃśāntarakalpa sthāsyati |

.

皆共合掌聽受佛語其佛當壽十二小劫正法住世二十小劫像法亦住二十小劫

.

24. He shall stay twelve intermediate kalpas; the true law of that most high of men is to last twenty intermediate kalpas and the counterfeit of it as many.

爾時世尊復告諸比丘衆： “我今語汝，是大迦旃延，於當來世，以諸供具，供養奉事八千億佛，恭敬尊重。諸佛滅後，各起塔廟，高千由旬，縱廣正等五百由旬，皆以金、銀、琉璃、車璖、馬瑙、眞珠、玟瑰、七寶合成，衆華、瓔珞、塗香、末香、燒香、繒蓋、幢幡，供養塔廟。過是已後，當復供養二萬億佛，亦復如是。供養是諸佛已，具菩薩道，當得作佛。號曰閻浮那提金光如來、應供、正遍知、明行足、善逝、世閒解、無上士、調御丈夫、天人師、佛、世尊。其土平正，頗梨爲地，寶樹莊嚴，黃金爲繩以界道側，妙華覆地，周遍淸淨，見者歡喜。無四惡道——地獄、餓鬼、畜生、阿修羅道，多有天、人、諸聲聞衆及諸菩薩、無量萬億莊嚴(009_0749_b)其國。佛壽十二小劫，正法住世二十小劫，像法亦住二十小劫。”

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Again the Lord addressed the complete assembly of monks: I announce to you, monks, I make known that the senior Mahâ-Katyâyana here present, my disciple, shall pay homage to eight thousand kotis of Buddhas; shall show them respect, honour, reverence, veneration, and worship; at the expiration of those Tathâgatas he shall build Stûpas, a thousand yoganas in height, fifty yoganas in circumference, and consisting of seven precious substances, to wit, gold, silver, lapis lazuli, crystal, red pearl, emerald, and, seventhly, coral. Those Stûpas he shall worship with flowers, incense, perfumed wreaths, ointments, powder, robes, umbrellas, banners, flags, triumphal streamers. Afterwards he shall again pay a similar homage to twenty kotis of Buddhas; show them respect, honour, reverence, veneration, and worship. Then in his last bodily existence, his last corporeal appearance, he shall be a Tathâgata in the world, an Arhat, &c. &c., named Gambûnada-prabhâsa (i.e. gold-shine), endowed with science and conduct, &c. His Buddha-field will be thoroughly pure, even, nice, pretty, beautiful, crystalline, variegated with jeweltrees, interlaced with gold threads, strewed with flowers, free from beings of the brute creation, hell, and the host of demons, replete with numerous men and gods, adorned with many hundred thousand disciples and many hundred thousand Bodhisattvas. The measure of his lifetime shall be twelve intermediate kalpas; his true law shall continue twenty intermediate kalpas and its counterfeit as many.

atha khalu bhagavāṃs tasyāṃ velāyām imā gāthā abhāṣata -

.

爾時世尊欲重宣此義，而說偈言：

.

And on that occasion the Lord uttered the following stanzas:

śṛṇotha me bhikṣava adya sarve udāharantasya girāmananyathām |
kātyāyanaḥ sthaviru ayaṃ mi śrāvakaḥ kariṣyate pūja vināyakānām || 6.25 ||

.

諸比丘衆皆一心聽如我所說眞實無異是迦栴延當以種種妙好供具供養諸佛

.

25. Listen all to me, ye monks, since I am going to utter an infallible word . Katyâyana here, the senior, my disciple, shall render worship to the Leaders.

satkāru teṣāṃ ca bahuprakāraṃ bahūvidhaṃ lokavināyakānām |
stūpāṃś ca kārāpayi nirvṛtānāṃ puṣpehi gandhehi ca pūjayiṣyati || 6.26 ||

.

諸佛滅後起七寶塔亦以華香供養舍利

.

26. He shall show veneration of various kinds and in many ways to the Leaders, after whose expiration he shall build Stûpas, worshipping them with flowers and perfumes.

labhitva so paścimakaṃ samucchrayaṃ pariśuddhakṣetrasmi jino bhaviṣyati |
paripūrayitvā imam eva jñānaṃ deśeṣyate prāṇisahasrakoṭinām || 6.27 ||

.

其最後身得佛智慧成等正覺國土淸淨

.

27. In his last bodily existence he shall be a Gina, in a thoroughly pure field, and after acquiring full knowledge he shall preach to a thousand kotis of living beings.

sa satkṛto loki sadevakasmin prabhākaro buddha vibhurbhaviṣyati |
jāmbūnadābhāsu sa cāpi nāmnā saṃtārako devamanuṣyakoṭinām || 6.28 ||

.

度脫無量萬億衆生皆爲十方之所供養佛之光明無能勝者其佛號曰閻浮金光

.

28. He shall be a mighty Buddha and illuminator, highly honoured in this world, including the gods, under the name of Gâmbunada-prabhâsa, and save kotis of gods and men.

bahubodhisattvās tatha śrāvakāś ca amitā asaṃkhyā pi ca tatra kṣetre |

.

Again the Lord addressed the complete assembly of monks: I announce to you, monks, I make known, that the senior Mahâ-Maudgalyâyana here present, my disciple, shall propitiate twenty-eight thousand Buddhas and pay those Lords homage of various kinds; he shall show them respect, &c., and after their expiration build Stûpas consisting of seven precious substances, to wit, gold, silver, lapis lazuli, crystal, red pearl, emerald, and, seventhly, coral; (Stûpas) a thousand yoganas in height and five hundred yoganas in circumference, which Stilpas he shall worship in different ways, with flowers, incense, perfumed wreaths, ointments, powder, robes, umbrellas, banners, flags, and triumphal streamers. Afterwards he shall again pay a similar worship to twenty hundred thousand kotis of Buddhas; he shall show respect, &c., and in his last bodily existence become in the world a Tathâgata, &c., named Tamâlapatrakandanagandha, endowed with science and conduct, &c. The field of that Buddha will be called Manobhirâma; his period Ratipratipûrna. And that Buddha-field will be even, nice, pretty, beautiful, crystalline, variegated with jewel-trees, strewn with detached flowers, replete with gods and men, frequented by hundred thousands of Seers, that is to say, disciples and Bodhisattvas. The measure of his lifetime shall be twenty-four intermediate kalpas; his true law is to last forty intermediate kalpas and its counterfeit as many.

.

其佛壽命二十四劫常爲天人演說佛道

35. The measure of that Sugata's life shall be fully twenty-four intermediate kalpas, during which he shall be assiduous in declaring the Buddha-rule to men and gods.

bahuśrāvakātasya jinasya tatra koṭī sahasrā yatha gaṅgavālikāḥ |
ṣaḍabhijña traividya maharddhikāś ca abhijñaprāptāḥ sugatasya śāsane || 6.36 ||

.

聲聞無量如恒河沙三明六通有大威德

.

36. That Gina shall have many thousands of kotis of disciples, innumerable as the sands of the Ganges, gifted with the six transcendent faculties and the triple science, and possessed of magic power, under the command of that Sugata.
