English version Then, the great tree Kinnara-rāja (Mahāvrksha Kinnara-rāja, a deity with a human body and the head of a horse) having thus instructed his retinue, immediately gathered various flower garlands, scented ointments, powdered incense, prepared various delicious foods, and in front of Gandhamādana (Fragrant Mountain), played various musical instruments, sang various verses, and announced: 'The time has come.' 'The Buddha is able to benefit beings, bestow peace and happiness, and treat people with a kind smile and gentle words; wonderful lotus flowers, good at listening to the offerings of humans and gods, the time has come, Sugata (One Thus Gone, an epithet of the Tathagata) can come now. Possessing the ten powers (Dasabala, the ten powers of the Buddha) to subdue various demonic forces, subdue other beings, and benefit the world; cutting off various defilements, without defilements and impurities, the time has come, may the Beneficent World-Honored One come. Delighting in the practice of asceticism (Dhūta, a form of ascetic practice), without attachment, supremely gathering mindfulness and wisdom, a steadfast person; a supreme person often transcends the world, comes with a joyful heart to benefit beings. Concealing the light of the sun, moon, and pearls, Śakra (Lord Śakra, the ruler of the devas) and Brahmā (Brahma) possess various lights; the light of the Muni (Sage) is joyful, the light is free and at ease, concealing all lights. The songs of the devas (Nāga, dragon deities), Kinnaras (Kinnara), this sound increases afflictions and cannot extinguish desire; the Buddha's voice is gentle, like the voice of Brahma, able to extinguish various afflictions and bestow peace and happiness. The worldly doctors in the ten directions are unable to cure the world's afflictions and diseases; the King of Medicine with the ten powers speaks wonderful sounds, extinguishing various afflictions and bestowing peace and happiness. Great fame, great power, unparalleled, incomparable, without error, without impure words; subduing hatred, pacifying resentment, and being free from various resentments, the World-Honored One benefits beings, may you come in time. Giving alms to tame, the master of giving possesses the nectar of wisdom, upholding precepts and practicing discipline, the one who upholds precepts is the most noble and supreme; skillful in taming forbearance, cultivating the mind, because of remembering me, please come, lovable one. Skillfully possessing the power of diligence, corresponding to the corresponding Dharma, abiding in meditation, possessing supernatural powers; taming the mind with wisdom, possessing the virtue of shame, holding the marks of a hundred blessings, may you come in time. Treating all beings with great compassion, with an equal mind, free from the faults of love and desire, without afflictions; skillfully understanding the path of Brahma, abiding in the Buddha's path, the World-Honored One bestows peace and happiness, may you come in time.' At that time, the World-Honored One knew that the great tree Kinnara-rāja had announced that the time had come, and told the Bhikkhus (Buddhist monks): 'Each of you take your robes and bowls (Patra, a bowl used by monks).' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Invited by Śakra (Lord of the Devas), he dispatched the guardian of the chamber. The Kinnara King Mahāvrksha (Great Tree) announced that the time had arrived. At that time, the Bodhisattva Ratna-mukuta (Jewel Crown) thought to himself: 'Now I shall transform myself into a great jeweled platform, so that the World-Honored One Buddha, along with all the Bodhisattvas and great Śrāvakas (Hearers), may dwell peacefully on the jeweled platform, seated upon lotus-adorned seats. I will place the jeweled platform in my right palm and travel through the air to Fragrant Mountain.' Having thought thus, the Bodhisattva Ratna-mukuta entered into samādhi (concentration). Through the power of samādhi, he created a great jeweled platform, each side measuring ten yojanas (an ancient Indian unit of distance) in length, breadth, and height, adorned with various colors, beautiful and wondrous, with four pillars on each side, each uniquely decorated. From within the jeweled platform emerged hundreds of thousands of jeweled lotus seats, and a jeweled lotus lion throne was prepared for the World-Honored One, reaching a height of seven rens (an ancient Chinese unit of length). Then, having transformed the jeweled platform and flower seats, the Bodhisattva Ratna-mukuta said: 'World-Honored One! May you ascend the jeweled platform and sit upon the lion throne, along with all the Bodhisattvas and Śrāvakas. Out of compassion for me, World-Honored One, I shall now place this jeweled platform in my right palm and proceed to Fragrant Mountain.' At that time, the World-Honored One, out of compassion for the Bodhisattva Ratna-mukuta, ascended the jeweled platform and sat upon the lion throne, and all the Bodhisattvas and Śrāvakas took their seats in order. Then, the Bodhisattva Ratna-mukuta immediately lifted the jeweled platform, placed it in his right palm, and ascended into the sky, heading towards Fragrant Mountain. At that time, the devas (gods) of the Desire Realm and the devas of the Form Realm, seeing the Bodhisattva Ratna-mukuta perform such miraculous transformations, rejoiced and were filled with wonder. To offer homage to the Buddha and the Bodhisattva Ratna-mukuta, they brought flower garlands, scented ointments, and powdered incense, and performed various musical performances, approaching the jeweled platform and making offerings to the Buddha in the sky, all the way to Fragrant Mountain. At that time, the Kinnara King Mahāvrksha, seeing from afar the Tathāgata (Thus Come One) seated in the jeweled platform coming from the sky, and seeing this, together with his retinue of eighty-four thousand Kinnaras, carrying flower garlands, powdered incense, and scented ointments, and performing eighty-four thousand kinds of musical performances, welcomed the Tathāgata with pure and wondrous songs and harmonious music. Upon arriving, he and his retinue prostrated themselves at the feet of the Buddha, and having offered the various flower garlands, scented ointments, and powdered incense that they had brought, they led the way forward. At that time, the World-Honored One, knowing that they had arrived at their destination, with all the Bodhisattvas and great Śrāvakas --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
