“Śāriputra, there should be no doubt or uncertainty as to whether it was that boy and no other that the lord Vipaśyin was talking about at that time, on that occasion. There is no need to raise questions about this. Why should there be no doubt about this? The divine son Maheśvara witnessed the Lord, the tathāgata, arhat, fully accomplished Buddha Vipaśyin, make these statements about the boy at that time, on that occasion. For a million billion eons he will not fall into the lower states of existence, and after a million billion eons have passed, he will be born into the family of a king of the entire world, and he will become a tathāgata, arhat, fully accomplished buddha by the name of Kāruṇika. His father’s name will be Abhiyaśa, just as my father’s name was Śuddhodana. His mother’s name will be Vigatatamā, just as my mother’s name was Māyā. His son’s name will be Aśoka, just as my son’s name is Rāhula. He will leave everything behind and become an unsurpassed, fully accomplished buddha. When he has reached awakening, he will live for a hundred thousand million billion years. The radiance of his awakening will extend for over ten thousand yojanas, and his assembly will extend for a hundred yojanas. He will have three assemblies of śrāvakas: one of a billion śrāvakas, one of a hundred thousand trillion śrāvakas, and one of a hundred billion trillion śrāvakas. Ten million of them will be pure arhats who will have eliminated the defilements, who will be without vices, who will possess powers, who will dwell in the concentrations of the eight liberations, and who will possess the six superior abilities. Furthermore, Śāriputra, his saṅgha of bodhisatvas will be just as renowned as the arhats, who will have become part of the assembly belonging to the Three Jewels. As everyone has been his mother, he will teach the Dharma unfalteringly, benefitting uncountable innumerable sentient beings, and then pass into final nirvāṇa. After his final nirvāṇa, [MS.93.a] the true Dharma will remain for ten million years, and his ashes will be distributed far and wide, just as my ashes will be distributed far and wide after my final nirvāṇa.
