ཀཽ་ཤི་ཀ་འདི་ལྟ་སྟེ། ཤེས་རབ་ཀྱི་ཕ་རོལ་ཏུ་ཕྱིན་པ་འདི་ནི་མྱི་མཉམ་པ་དང་མཉམ་པའི་རིག་སྔགས་སོ། །དེ་ཅིའི་ཕྱིར་ཞེ་ན།
“If you ask why, Kauśika, it is because however many tathāgatas, arhats, perfectly complete buddhas of the past there were, they fully awakened to unsurpassed, perfect, complete enlightenment relying on this same knowledge incantation; however many tathāgatas, arhats, perfectly complete buddhas of the future there will be, they will fully awaken to unsurpassed, perfect, complete enlightenment relying on this same knowledge incantation; and however many tathāgatas, arhats, perfectly complete buddhas of the present there are residing and maintaining themselves in the world systems of the ten directions, they are fully awakening to unsurpassed, perfect, complete enlightenment relying on this same knowledge incantation.
