须弥山的诸神散布着以各种珍宝装饰的天界华盖。行于风中和处于空中的诸神降下各种天界花朵之雨。四大天王族的诸神降下天界珍宝之雨，并奏响天界的音乐之声。衣物也被抛撒。国王的宫殿周围，包括花园和森林在内的一切地方，都被清理干净，没有石头、沙砾和瓦片。竖立起旗帜和幡幢，到处都画着丝绸的五彩祥云图案，悬挂着散发香味的焚香容器，散布着各种花朵，宛如天界一般。为了让天子般具有各种才能的年轻人福德力能够享受，因陀罗下令在那花园里幻化出一个由四种珍宝制成的、具有各种形态的天界楼阁。之后，那些人们感到惊奇，恭敬地尽力，毫不犹豫地请年轻的福德力登上天界狮子宝座，以极大的敬意用王位的财富为他灌顶。灌顶之后，从那位年轻人的身体里发出一种光芒，使得太阳的光芒都黯然失色，那种光芒遍布周围一由旬的范围，因此他的名字也随之改变，被称为光明王。在那里，有些人认为他是福德力国王，有些人认为他是光明王。之后，福德力国王带着天神和人类的财富，前往国王的宫殿周围。因陀罗等诸神也对那位国王进行了如法的供养。福德力国王也在那国王的宫殿里执掌国政，整个国家都充满着财富、繁荣、安乐、丰收，到处都是人和民众，争斗和战争平息，骚乱、内乱、盗贼、疾病和饥荒消失，拥有稻米、甘蔗、牛和水牛，如同对待独子一般，以正法治理着整个国家。那时

The gods of Mount Sumeru spread out the heavenly canopy adorned with various precious jewels. The gods who move in the wind and dwell in the sky shower down rains of various heavenly flowers. The gods of the Four Great Kings' retinue shower down rains of heavenly jewels and also proclaim the sounds of heavenly music. Garments are also scattered.

Banners and flags are raised, clusters of five-colored silk are painted everywhere, fragrant incense containers are hung, and various flowers are scattered, resembling a heavenly abode.

Then, those people, amazed, respectfully exert themselves, and without hesitation, invite the young Sonam Tob to ascend the heavenly lion throne, and with great reverence, enthrone him with the wealth of kingship. Immediately after the enthronement, a light emanates from that young man's body, making the light of the sun's orb disappear, such that the light spreads in a circle of one yojana, and thus his name changes from before, and he becomes known as King Nangje (Illuminator). There, some know him as King Sonam Tob, and some know him as King Nangje. Then, King Sonam Tob, together with the wealth of gods and humans, goes to the surroundings of the king's palace.

The trees of flowers and fruits flourished, and the gods also rained on time, so the grains grew very well. Then, after a while, the brothers heard about it and were very surprised, and said to each other: "By the power of merit, these two, the cause of making such vows and gaining power, have defeated us. This is because he has achieved the power of the kingdom with great merit. Before we are harmed by him, we must all go and please him." After saying this, they went there and said to the king: "May you be victorious! May you live long!" After saying this, they sat aside. "Gods, it is very good, very good! Your vow is firm. Like this, you have defeated us with vows and power, because merit has made you the master of the power of the kingdom." After that, King Merit Power respectfully stood up from the lion throne, treated those brothers well, let them sit on the throne suitable for the elders, and they also offered respect, and then returned to the lion throne. After sitting down, in order to make them believe that they had let go of the past grievances, he made them happy, treated them with great respect, and gave them a large share of enjoyment.

all depended on merit. Then, King Sonam Tob, in order to make those sentient beings cherish merit, looked at the sky, generated Bodhicitta, and said: "How wonderful it would be if rains of various jewels and clothes would fall inside and outside my royal palace!" As soon as he spoke, various magnificent clothes suitable for gods fell, followed by a rain of delightful divine flowers, and then a rain of various divine jewels, covering everything and shining brightly. Seeing this, many people cherished merit, marveled, and specially praised it. These words were heard by the kings under the sun, and in order to serve him, they all gathered together and came with four divisions of troops, saying: "You are the possessor of great merit, please be our king, and we will serve you." The king also satisfied them with whatever precious things they desired, befitting great ones, and then placed them and their retinues on the path of the ten virtues and sent them back to their own countries. Then, gradually, this news was heard by King Sel Tob, who first sent a messenger and then quickly came with a large army to the presence of King Sonam Tob, fainting with longing for his son, descending from the elephant's back with tears filling his eyes, embracing his son's neck, and gazing at him for a long time, saying: "Young man, understand what I am saying now, I am old and unable to bear the burden of the kingdom. You take on the burden of the kingdom." Having said this, he took off the silk headdress, crown, and arm ornaments from his own head and gave them to him. Then, gradually, King Sonam Tob became the master of the royal power throughout the entire Jambudvipa. He satisfied all the many people living in Jambudvipa with whatever they desired in gold and silver and placed them on the ten virtues. At that time, there were no poor or sick people in this Jambudvipa. All the people of Jambudvipa were happy, healthy, strong, with developed senses, rich, with much wealth and great enjoyment, possessing much gold and silver, storehouses, and belongings, with prosperous wealth, a good harvest, and no strife.
