English · F. Max Müller

‘And again, O Ananda, those Bodhisattvas who have been born, are being born, or will be born there, are all bound to one birth only’, and will thence indeed obtain the highest perfect knowledge; barring always the power of prayers, as in the case of those Bodhisattvas who are preaching with the voice of lions, who are girded with the noble armour DESCRIPTION (of the Law), and who are devoted to the work of helping all people to attain Parinirvaza.
