After him appeared the Teacher named _Vessabhū_. He also had three assemblies of his saints; at the first eight million priests were present, at the second seven, at the third six. At that time the Bodisat, born as the _king Sudassana_, gave a great donation of robes and other things to the Order, with the Buddha at their head. And taking the vows at his hands, he became righteous in conduct, and found great joy in meditating on the Buddha. To him too the Blessed One prophesied, saying, “Thirty-one world-cycles hence thou shalt be a Buddha.” The city of this Blessed One was called Anopama, Suppatīta the king was his father, Yasavatī his mother, Soṇa and Uttara his chief disciples, Upasanta his servitor, Dāmā and Sumālā his chief female disciples, and the Sal-tree his Bo-tree. His body was sixty cubits high, and his age sixty thousand years. 243. In the same Maṇḍakalpa, the Conqueror named Vessabhū, Unequalled and unrivalled, appeared in the world. After him, in this world-cycle, four Buddhas have appeared--Kakusandha, Koṇāgamana, Kassapa, and our Buddha. _Kakusandha_ the Blessed One had one assembly, at which forty thousand monks were present. At that time the Bodisat, as _Kshema the king_, gave a great donation, including robes and bowls, to the Order, with the Buddha at their head, and having given also collyriums and drugs, he listened to the Law preached by the Teacher, and took the vows. And to him also the Buddha prophesied. The city of Kakusandha the Blessed One was called Khema, Aggidatta the Brāhman was his father, Visākhā the Brahman woman his mother, Vidhura and Sanjīva his chief disciples, Buddhija his servitor, Sāmā and Campakā his chief female disciples, and the great Sirīsa-tree his Bo-tree. His body was forty cubits high, and his age forty thousand years. 244. After Vessabhū came the perfect Buddha, the best of men, Kakusandha by name, infinite and hard to equal. After him appeared the Teacher _Koṇāgamana_. Of his disciples too there was one assembly, at which thirty thousand monks were present. At that time the Bodisat, as _Pabbata the king_, went, surrounded by his ministers, to the Teacher, and listened to the preaching of the Law. And having given an invitation to the Order, with the Buddha at their head, he kept up a great donation, giving cloths of silk, and of fine texture, and woven with gold. And he took the vows from the Teacher’s hands. And to him too the Buddha prophesied. The city of this Blessed One was called Sobhavatī, Yaññadatta the Brahman was his father, Uttarā the Brahman woman his mother, Bhiyyosa and Uttara his chief disciples, Sotthija his servitor, Samuddā and Uttarā his chief female disciples, and the Udumbara-tree his Bo-tree. His body was twenty cubits high, and his age was thirty thousand years. 245. After Kakusandha came the Perfect Buddha, the best of men, Koṇāgamana by name, Conqueror, chief of the world, supreme among men.
