Having gone to where the Tathagata Sarvarthamahesagarabhibhasa, the great ocean of meaning for all sentient beings, was, and having bowed with the crown of their heads to the two feet of that Bhagavan, and having completely requested with the tongue-power ocean that thoroughly proclaims the realm of Dharma: "Bhagavan, from whose power does this ocean of verses of true exhortation, as many as the extremely fine dust particles of ten kotis of Buddha-fields, arise?" Having thus requested, the Tathagata Sarvarthamahesagarabhibhasa, the great ocean of meaning for all sentient beings, spoke thus to the king Many Jewels: "Great King, From here to the west, after passing as many as the extremely fine dust particles of ten kotis of Buddha-fields, there is a Buddha-field called 'Thoroughly Abiding in the Essence of the Tathagata's Palm,' and there is a Tathagata named Jñanamahesagarabhibhasa, the great ocean of wisdom, who now dwells and nourishes, and teaches the Dharma. This ocean of verses of true exhortation, as many as the extremely fine dust particles of ten kotis of Buddha-fields, also arises from his power." Then, the king Many Jewels requested the Tathagata Sarvarthamahesagarabhibhasa, the great ocean of meaning for all sentient beings, thus: "Bhagavan, I also wish to go to that Buddha-field, Thoroughly Abiding in the Essence of the Tathagata's Palm, to behold the face of the Tathagata Jñanamahesagarabhibhasa, the great ocean of wisdom, and to bow, make offerings, attend, and listen to the Dharma." Having thus requested, the Bhagavan Tathagata Sarvarthamahesagarabhibhasa, the great ocean of meaning for all sentient beings, spoke thus to the king Many Jewels: "Great King, if you know when the time is right, it depends on going. Great King, it is difficult to go to that Buddha-field, Thoroughly Abiding in the Essence of the Tathagata's Palm. To go there, to behold the face of that Tathagata, to bow, attend, and listen to the Dharma, is impossible without the blessing of the Tathagata.

菩萨禅定心要菩提之庄严,种种分别的心要大海,在十方世界如海的微尘数般极微细之处安住,也不是容易轻易做到的。大国王,有一个不像这样的世界海,名为善界限音。你以前见过吗?那个世界海在哪个方向?那个世界海离这里是近还是远?现在那里有哪位如来安住、护持并说法,你知道吗?众宝王禀告道:世尊,我没有见过那个世界海,也不知道那个世界海在哪个方向,也不知道那个世界海离这里是近还是远,也不知道那里有哪位如来安住、护持并说法,那个世界海我以前没有听说过。然后,如来为了一切有情众生的利益,大光明海遍照如来对众宝王说道:大国王,那个世界海在哪个方向?那个世界海离这里有多远?现在那里有哪位如来安住、护持并说法,好好想想。然后,众宝王等进入普入一切世界海的禅定大海,在如海的世界十方微尘数般极微细之处入定,也不知道那个世界海在哪个方向,也不知道那个世界海离这里是近还是远,也不知道现在那里有哪位如来安住、护持并说法,甚至连那个世界海的名字都没有见到。然后,众宝王从那些禅定大海中起身,向如来为了一切有情众生的利益,大光明海遍照如来这样禀告道:

It is not easy to easily accomplish even by abiding in the extremely subtle places like the ocean of essential points that distinguish the adornment of Bodhi, the Samadhi essence of Bodhisattvas, the ocean of worlds, and the dust of ten oceans. Great King, there is a world ocean unlike that, called the Sound of Good Boundaries. Have you ever seen it before? In which direction is that world ocean? Is that world ocean near or far from here? Do you know which Tathagata is currently dwelling, protecting, and teaching the Dharma there? The King of Many Jewels reported: World Honored One, I have not seen that world ocean, nor do I know in which direction that world ocean is, nor do I know whether that world ocean is near or far from here, nor do I know which Tathagata is dwelling, protecting, and teaching the Dharma there. I have never heard of that world ocean before. Then, the Tathagata, for the benefit of all sentient beings, the Great Light Ocean Vairochana Tathagata, said to the King of Many Jewels: Great King, in which direction is that world ocean? How far is that world ocean from here? Think carefully about which Tathagata is currently dwelling, protecting, and teaching the Dharma there. Then, the King of Many Jewels and others entered the Samadhi Ocean that pervades all world oceans, and even when they entered Samadhi in the extremely subtle places like the dust of ten oceans of world oceans, they did not know in which direction that world ocean was, nor did they know whether that world ocean was near or far from here, nor did they know which Tathagata was currently dwelling, protecting, and teaching the Dharma there. They did not even see the name of that world ocean. Then, the King of Many Jewels arose from those Samadhi Oceans and reported to the Tathagata, the Great Light Ocean Vairochana Tathagata, for the benefit of all sentient beings, saying:
