213. Four hundred thousand saints, possessed of the six Faculties, endowed with miraculous powers, Ever attend upon Dīpankara, knower of the three worlds. 214. Blameworthy are all they who at that time leave the human existence, Not having obtained final sanctity, still imperfect in knowledge. 215. The word of Buddha shines in the world of men and angels, made to blossom by saints such as these, Freed from human passion, void of all taint (of sin). 216. The city of Dīpankara Buddha was called Rammavatī, The khattiya Sumedha was his father, Sumedhā his mother. 217. Sumangala and Tissa were his chief disciples, And Sāgata was the servitor of Dīpankara Buddha. 218. Nandā and Sunandā were his chief female disciples. The Bodhi-tree of this Buddha is called the Pipphali.[148] 219. Eighty cubits in height the Great Saga Dīpankara Shone conspicuous as a Deodar pine, or as a noble Sāl-tree in full bloom. 220. A hundred thousand years was the age of this Great Sage, And so long as he was living on earth he brought many men to salvation. 221. Having made the Truth to flourish, having saved great multitudes of men, Having flamed like a mass of fire, he died together with his disciples. 222. And all this power, this glory, there jewel-wheels on his feet, All is wholly gone,--are not all existing things vanity! 223. After Dīpankara was the Leader named Ko_nd_añña, Of infinite power, of boundless renown, immeasurable, unrivalled. Next to the Dīpankara Buddha, after the lapse of one asankheyya, the Teacher Ko_nd_añña appeared. He also had three assemblies of saints, at the first assembly there were a million millions, at the second ten thousand millions, at the third nine hundred millions. At that time the Bodhisatta, having been born as a universal monarch named Vijitāvin, kept open house to the priesthood with the Buddha at their head, in number a million of millions. The Teacher having predicted of the Bodhisatta, “He will become a Buddha,” preached the Law. He having heard the Teacher’s preaching gave up his kingdom and became a Buddhist monk. Having mastered the three Treasuries,[149] having obtained the six supernatural Faculties, and having practised without failure the ecstatic meditation, he was reborn in the Brahma heavens. The city of Ko_nd_añña Buddha was Rammavatī, the khattiya Sunanda was his father, his mother was queen Sujātā, Bhadda and Subhadda were his two chief disciples, Anuruddha was his servitor, Tissā and Upatissā his chief female disciples, his Bodhi-tree was the Sālakalyā_n_i, his body was eighty-eight cubits high, and the duration of his life was a hundred thousand years.
