And now, O _S_âriputra, as I here at present glorify that world, thus in the East, O _S_âriputra, other blessed Buddhas, led by the Tathâgata Akshobhya, the Tathâgata Merudhva_g_a, the Tathâgata Mahâmeru, the Tathâgata Meruprabhâsa, and the Tathâgata Ma_ñg_udhva_g_a, equal in number to the sand of the river Gangâ, comprehend their own Buddha-countries in their speech, and then reveal them.(155) Accept this repetition of the Law, called the “Favor of all Buddhas,” which magnifies their inconceivable excellences. Thus also in the South, do other blessed Buddhas, led by the Tathâgata _K_andrasûryapradîpa, the Tathâgata Yasa_h_prabha, the Tathâgata Mahâr_k_iskandha, the Tathâgata Merupradîpa, the Tathâgata Anantavîrya, equal in number to the sand of the river Gangâ, comprehend their own Buddha-countries in their speech, and then reveal them. Accept, etc. Thus also in the West do other blessed Buddhas, led by the Tathâgata Amitâyus, the Tathâgata Amitaskandha, the Tathâgata Amitadhva_g_a, the Tathâgata Mahâprabha, the Tathâgata Mahâratnaketu, the Tathagata _S_uddhara_s_miprabha, equal in number to the sand of the river Gangâ, comprehend, etc. Thus also in the North do other blessed Buddhas, led by the Tathâgata Mahâr_k_iskandha, the Tathâgata Vai_s_vânaranirghosha, the Tathâgata Dundubhisvaranirghosha, the Tathâgata Dushpradharsha, the Tathâgata Âdityasambhava, the Tathâgata _G_aleniprabha (_G_valanaprabha?), the Tathâgata Prabhâkara, equal in number to the sand, etc. Thus also in the Nadir do other blessed Buddhas, led by the Tathâgata Si_m_ha, the Tathâgata Ya_s_as, the Tathâgata Ya_s_a_h_prabhâva, the Tathâgata Dharma, the Tathâgata Dharmadhara, the Tathâgata Dharmadhva_g_a, equal in number to the sand, etc. Thus also in the Zenith do other blessed Buddhas, led by the Tathâgata Brahmaghosha, the Tathâgata Nakshatrarâ_g_a, the Tathâgata Indraketudhva_g_arâ_g_a, the Tathâgata Gandhottama, the Tathâgata Gandhaprabhâsa, the Tathâgata Mahâr_k_iskandha, the Tathâgata Ratnakusumasampushpitagâtra, the Tathâgata Sâlendrarâ_g_a, the Tathâgata Ratnotpalasri, the Tathâgata Sarvâdarsa, the Tathâgata Sumerukalpa, equal in number to the sand, etc.(156) Now what do you think, O _S_âriputra, for what reason is that repetition of the Law called the Favor of all Buddhas? Every son or daughter of a family who shall hear the name of that repetition of the Law and retain in their memory the names of those blessed Buddhas, will all be favored by the Buddhas, and will never return again, being once in possession of the transcendent true knowledge. Therefore, then, O _S_âriputra, believe,(157) accept, and long for me and those blessed Buddhas!
