Buddha-carita, or Life of Buddha - 185
Book XV of The Buddha-carita continuation by
Am
1. Daily praised by all the various heavenly beings, the perfectly Wise
One thus passed that period of seven days which is designated ‘the
aliment of joy.’
2. He then passed the second week, while he was bathed with jars full
of water by the heavenly beings, the Bodhisattvas and the rest.
3. Then having bathed in the four oceans and being seated on his
throne, he passed the third week restraining his eyes from seeing.
4. In the fourth week, assuming many forms, he stood triumphant on
his throne, having delivered a being who was ready to be converted.
5. A god named Samantakusuma, bearing an offering of flowers, thus
addressed with folded hands the great Buddha who was seated there:
6. ‘What is the name, O holy one, of this meditation, engaged in
which thou hast thus passed four whole weeks with joy, deeply
pondering’
7. ‘This is designated, O divine being, "the array of the aliment of
great joy," like an inaugurated king, who has overcome his enemies
and enjoys prosperity.’
