English version: ‘If there are still those who have not escaped desire and wish to enter Nirvana (Nirvana, cessation), we will not accept offerings from them. You are an Arhat (Arhat, the highest attainment in the Sravakayana), and I aspire to become a Bodhisattva (Bodhisattva, a practitioner seeking enlightenment); we are not of the same kind, and our aspirations differ.’ The Deva (Deva, a protector deity in Buddhism) further said, ‘Because I am in a female body, which is considered undesirable, I am offering this garment.’ The woman replied, ‘In the Mahayana (Mahayana, a major branch of Buddhism) Dharma, there is no distinction between male and female. I will naturally have clothing arrive.’ The Buddha (Buddha, the enlightened one) said to the Deva, ‘Like this, not for adorning a female body, but generating the Bodhi mind, naturally achieving excellent marks and adornments, the limitless merits manifested, that is truly adorning the body of a Bodhisattva.’ At that time, Sariputra (Sariputra, one of the Buddha's ten great disciples) was deeply surprised by the woman's transformation and stepped forward to report to the Buddha, ‘From which country did this woman come here? Who will send her clothing?’ The Buddha said, ‘This woman comes from the southeast, from the place of Bhelluyana practicing the Buddha Dharma. That Buddhakṣetra (Buddhakṣetra, the land where a Buddha resides) is named Jambudvipa (Jambudvipa, one of the four continents), which is a hundred thousand Buddha-lands away from here. This woman came from her own country, wishing to see the Buddha, and clothing will naturally come from her own country.’ The clothing then naturally appeared in the air, making a rustling sound, and a voice in the air told the woman, ‘You may put on this garment, and you will attain the five supernormal powers (Pañcābhijñā, the five supernormal powers in Buddhism).’ Moreover, the woman's entire country has attained the five supernormal powers. After the woman received and put on the clothing, she descended from the lotus flower to the Buddha's presence. With each step the woman took, the earth and sky shook in six ways. All the women generated the unsurpassed, equal mind of deliverance, and all the birds, insects, and beasts transformed immediately into human form, wearing celestial garments and adorned with pearl necklaces. The woman prostrated with her head at the Buddha's feet, reciting three times, ‘Namo Samyak-saṃbuddha (Namo Samyak-saṃbuddha, Homage to the Perfectly Enlightened Buddha),’ and kneeling, reported to the Buddha, ‘I wish to extensively expound the Dharma for all those who have come to this assembly, so that they may fulfill their wishes.’ The Buddha, according to her wish, then expounded the Dharma for them. At that time, this woman and nine hundred seventy-five million women, hearing what the Buddha said, rejoiced and were delighted, no longer desiring to change their bodies, and transformed into men before the Buddha, each taking off their necklaces and jewels to scatter upon the Buddha. The Buddha's majestic power caused the jewels they scattered to naturally transform into a pearl-interlaced canopy, and within the canopy appeared a seven-jeweled lion throne, upon which sat a Buddha raising his hand in praise of them, and in that instant, they all attained Avaivartika (Avaivartika, non-retrogression).

蛇得为人者，亦复脱身珠璎宝饰以用散佛，帐中坐佛，令其所散合成宝帐，亦复如前等无差特，则为达嚫，俱得七住。 佛告女菩萨无垢贤女：“汝于胞胎，为众生作唱导，如来等正觉亦于五道，为一切众生作唱导。”佛说经已，一切众会，皆大欢喜，稽首而退。 佛说无垢贤女经 现代汉语译本：如果蛇能够转世为人，同样可以脱下身上的珠璎宝饰来布施给佛，在帐中安坐佛像，使其所布施的物品聚合成宝帐，也和之前的布施一样没有差别，这就叫做‘达嚫’（梵语：dakṣiṇā，意为供养），都能达到七住菩萨的果位。 佛告诉无垢贤女菩萨：‘你在胞胎之中，为众生作引导，如来等正觉也在五道之中，为一切众生作引导。’佛说完这部经后，所有在场的听众，都非常欢喜，向佛稽首致敬后退下。 《佛说无垢贤女经》

English version: If a snake is reborn as a human, it can also take off its pearl necklaces and precious ornaments to offer to the Buddha, placing a Buddha statue in a tent, causing the items it has offered to coalesce into a treasure tent, just as before without any difference. This is called 'Dakṣiṇā' (Sanskrit: dakṣiṇā, meaning offering), and all can attain the stage of the Seventh Dwelling. The Buddha said to the female Bodhisattva Immaculate Virtuous Woman: 'You, in the womb, act as a guide for sentient beings; the Tathāgata (如来), the Perfectly Enlightened One, also acts as a guide for all sentient beings in the five realms.' After the Buddha finished speaking this Sutra, all those assembled were greatly rejoiced, bowed their heads in reverence, and withdrew.
