________________ XXIII. GADGADASVARA. 399 thing that the Lord Prabhataratna, &c., has to suffer or allow? Is the Lord Prabhataratna, &c., to stay long? We also, O Lord, are desirous of seeing the rudimentary frame of that Lord Prabhutaratna, the Tathagata, &c. May the Lord therefore please to show us the rudimentary frame of the Lord Prabhataratna, the Tathāgata, &c. Then the Lord Sâkyamuni, the Tathagata, &c., said to the Lord Prabhàtaratna, the Tathagata, &c., who was completely extinct : Lord, the Bodhisattva Mahasattva Gadgadasvara here wishes to see the Lord Prabhataratna, the Tathagata, &c., who is completely extinct. Whereon the Lord Prabhataratna, the Tathagata, &c., spoke to the Bodhisattva Mahasattva Gadgadasvara in this strain : Well done, well done, young gentleman, that thou hast come hither in the desire to see the Lord Sakyamuni, the Tathagata, &c.; to hear this Dharmaparyâya of the Lotus of the True Law, and see Mangusrt, the prince royal. Subsequently the Bodhisattva Mahâsattva Padmasri said to the Lord : What root of goodness has the Bodhisattva Mahâsattva Gadgadasvara formerly planted ? And in presence of which Tathagata ? And the Lord Såkyamuni, the Tathagata, &c., said to the Bodhisattva Mahâsattva Padmasri: In the days of yore, young man of good family, at a past period there appeared in the world a Tathagata called Meghadundubhisvararåga (i.e. the king of the drum-sound of the clouds), perfectly enlightened, endowed with science and conduct, a Sugata, &c., in 1 Dhâtuvigraha, the frame of the elementary parts, of the bone relics. * In the margin is added the common phrase, at a time more incalculable than incalculable Æons.' .
