1for protector or patron Samantabhadra, who, as we have seen above, is the lord of Svaha or Dakshayami, consequently Siva-K4la. * Na Lok4yate rudir bhavishyati. The Lokayatikas are the Indian Epicureans. 2 Svabh4vadharmasamanvagata, which may also be rendered by, possessed of the religion of Svabh4va (Nature). This I think to be the recondite and real meaning of the term, whether it alludes to the Svabh4vika sect of Buddhism or to materialistic schools among the Saivas. Though the philosophical tenets of all Svabhévikas are identical with those of the Lokayatikas, their opinions on morals are exactly the reverse. Hence it may have been deemed necessary to inculcate on devotees of more or less strong ascetic habits the precept that they should have no intercourse with the immoral vulgar materialists. XXVI. ENCOURAGEMENT OF SAMANTABHADRA. 439 wicked MAra!, move forward the wheel of the law, strike the drum of the law, blow the conch trumpet of the law, spread the rain of the law, and ascend the royal throne of the law. The monks who at the end of time, at the end of the period, in the second half of the millennium, keep this Dharmaparyd4ya, will not be covetous, nor greedy of robes or vehicles?. Those preachers will be honest, and possessed of three emancipations; they will refrain from worldly business. Such persons as lead into error monks who know this Satranta, shall be born blind; and such as openly defame them, shall have a spotted body in this very world. Those who scoff and hoot at the monks who copy this Sftrdnta, shall have the teeth broken and separated far from each other; disgusting lips, a flat nose, contorted hands and feet, squinting eyes ; a putrid body, a body covered with stinking boils, eruptions, scabs, and itch. If one speaks an unkind word, true or not true, to such writers, readers, and keepers of this Sitranta, it must be considered a very heinous sin. Therefore then, Samantabhadra, people should, even from afar, rise from their seats before the monks who keep this Dharmaparydya and show them the same reverence as to the Tathagata. While this chapter of the Encouragement of Samantabhadra was being expounded, hundred thousands of ko¢is of Bodhisattvas Mahasattvas, equal to the sands of the river Ganges, acquired the talismanic spell Avarta. ?

2? Marakalidakram. ? Y4na; Burnoufhas read pana, drink. It is, indeed, generally impossible to distinguish between pa and ya in the Nepalese MSS. 440 SADDHARMA-PUNDARIKA. XXVII. CHAPTER XXVII. THE PERIOD} Thereupon the Lord S&kyamuni, the Tathagata, &c., rose from his pulpit, collected the Bodhisattvas, took their right hands with his own right hand, which had become strong by the exercise of magic, and spoke on that occasion as follows: Into your hands, young men of good family, I transfer and transmit, entrust and deposit this supreme and perfect enlightenment arrived at by me after hundred thousands of myriads of ko/is of incalculable AZons. Ye, young men of good family, do your best that it may grow and spread. A second time, a third time the Lord spoke to the host of Bodhisattvas after taking them by the right hands: Into your hands, young men of good family, I transfer and transmit, entrust and deposit this supreme and perfect enlightenment arrived at by me after hundred thousands of myriads of koéis of incalculable Eons. Receive it, young men of good family, keep, read, fathom, teach, promulgate, and preach it to all beings. I am not avaricious, young men of good family, nor narrow-minded; I am confident and willing to impart Buddha-knowledge, to impart the knowledge of the Tathdgata, the knowledge of the Self-born. I am a bountiful giver, young * Dharmapary Aya, properly, the period of the law. XXVII. THE PERIOD. 441 men of good family, and ye, young men of good family, follow my example; imitate me in liberally showing this knowledge of the Tath4gata, and in skilfulness, and preach this Dharmapary4ya to the young men and young ladies of good family who successively shall gather round you. And as to unbelieving persons, rouse them to accept this law. By so doing, young men of good family, you will acquit your debt to the Tathd4gatas. So addressed by the Lord Sékyamuni, the Tathagata, &c., the Bodhisattvas filled with delight and joy, and with a feeling of great respect they lowered, bent, and bowed their body towards the Lord, and, the head inclined and the joined hands stretched out, they spoke in one voice to the Lord SAkyamuni, the Tathagata, &c., the following words: We shall do, O Lord, what the Tathagata commands; we shall fulfil the command of all Tathagatas. Let the Lord be at ease as to this, and perfectly quiet. A second time, a third time the entire host of Bodhisattvas spoke in one voice the same words: Let the Lord be at ease as to this, and perfectly quiet. We shall do, O Lord, what the Tathagata commands us; we shall fulfil the command of all Tathdgatas.

We shall do, O Lord, what the Tathagata commands us; we shall fulfil the command of all Tathdgatas. Thereupon the Lord Saékyamuni, the Tathagata, &c., dismissed all those Tath4gatas, &c., who had come to the gathering from other worlds, and wished them a happy existence, with the words: May the Tathagatas, &c., live happy. Then he restored the Stapa of precious substances of the Lord Prabhdtaratna, the Tathd4gata, &c., to its place, and wished him also a happy existence. Thus spoke the Lord.
