Their voices were perfect in diction and resonance, and versatile in speaking all languages. Their high resolve as hard as diamond, unbreakable in their faith in Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, they showered forth the rain of ambrosia that is released by the light rays of the jewel of the Dharma, which shines everywhere. They were exalted in fame and glory, like the lofty summit of Mount Sumeru. They had gathered the great stores of merit and of wisdom, and their bodies, beautiful without ornaments, were adorned with all the auspicious signs and marks. They were brave with the confidence that overawes all assemblies. They were expert in knowing the spiritual faculties of all living beings. They were stamped with the insignia of signlessness. They turned the irreversible wheel of the Dharma. They had attained the intuitive tolerance of the ultimate incomprehensibility of all things. Their mindfulness, intelligence, realization, meditation, incantation, and eloquence all were perfected. They maintained unbroken the succession of the Three Jewels, conquering devils and foes and overwhelming all critics. Without having to be asked, they were the natural spiritual benefactors of all living beings. Guardians of the city of Dharma, they upheld the true doctrine, and their great teachings resounded like the lion's roar throughout the ten directions. They were dedicated through the penetrating activity of their great superknowledges and were sustained by the grace of the Buddha. Of bodhisattvas there were thirty-two thousand, great spiritual heroes who were universally acclaimed. They all had attained the utmost perfection of every form of mind control. They had accomplished their work, done what they had to do, cast off their burdens, attained their goals, and totally destroyed the bonds of existence. They were calm and dignified, like royal elephants. Their minds were entirely liberated by perfect knowledge.
