INI RODUCTION
(4) No disease appears within the space of one
yojana around him. (5) Nor does enmity exist therein. (6) Nor calamity produced by the seasons. (7) Nor epidemics. (8) Nor excess of rain. (9) Nor drought. (10) Nor famine.
(11) Nor fear from government or from enemies. (c) 19 atisayas created by gods : (1) The "dharma-cakra” steadily accompanies
him, floating in the air in front of him. (2) Divine chowries keep fanning him. (3) A throne with foot-stool accompanies him. (4) A triad of divine parasols keeps moving
with him. (5) A jewel-flag accompanies him. (6) Gelden lotuses arise wherever he puts down
his feet. (7) Wherever he stops to preach, the "Samava
sarapa-hall" miraculously arises around him, with three enclosures of precious
materials. (8) Though he sits down with his face turned
towards the east, reflections of his shape are visible in the remaining three directions, so that he seems to be present fourfold ("caturmukha').
