Being great Bodhisattvas, they then manifested various holy powers. Some of them transformed themselves to elephants, horses, lions, tigers, golden-wings-birds(Garuda), or transformed to Sumeru Mountains, elders, monkeys, or created many lotus thrones and then sat in full-lotus posture (cross-legged) on the thrones. When manifesting those supernatural powers and transformations, 900 billion Bodhisattvas of them were in the south, and other 900 billion Bodhisattvas were in the north. At the same time, the Tathagata was in Samadhi like he always does, and simultaneity speaking Dharmas for all living beings with many expedient means.
Seven days after, traveling by his own holy power, Sarvashura Bodhisattva had reached the Lotus-Supremacy(Padmottara) world, and the Tathagata had knew that. Then, by the holy power of the Buddha, Sarvashura Bodhisattva suddenly returned to where the Buddha was, as quick as a vigorous person bend and extend his arm. Having arrived, he circumambulated the Buddha clockwise three times, joined his palms together and bowed to the Buddha with pure mind, and said: "Bhagavan, I had traveled through numerous Buddha-words of the ten directions. By one of my holy powers, I saw 9.9 trillion Buddha-worlds; by the second of my holy powers, I saw 10 trillion Buddha-worlds; and so on. Unto the seventh day, I had been to Lotus-Supremacy world, and also had been to the world of immovable Tathagata."
"Bhagavan, in one of those worlds, I saw that 9.2 trillion Buddhas were preaching Dharmas, and saw that 8 trillion Buddhas in 8 trillion worlds had attained Anuttara-Samyak-Sambodhi on that very day. I made offerings to all of them, and proceeded on my way."
"Bhagavan, on that very day, I had also been to 3.9 quadrillion Buddha-words, and saw that 3.9 quadrillion Bodhisattvas left home and attained Anuttara-Samyak-Sambodhi. Bhagavan, I respectfully paid homage to all of them, circumambulated them clockwise three times, and proceeded on my way."
"Bhagavan, afterwards, I had been to 6 billion worlds and saw 6 billion Buddhas, I made offerings and respectfully paid homage to all of them, and proceeded on my way."
"Bhagavan, I also saw that in 10 billion worlds, 10 billion Tathagatas entered Nirvana, I made offerings and respectfully paid homage to all of them, and proceeded on my way."
"Bhagavan, I also saw that in 6.5 billion worlds, the True-Dharmas of the Buddhas had completely disappeared. I then became worrying and wept sorrowfully. At that time, I saw that the gods, dragons, Yaksas were also worrying and weeping sorrowfully, just like some arrows had ripped into their hearts. Bhagavan, those worlds were being burnt by kalpa-fire, all the oceans and Sumeru Mountains had been burnt up with no remains. I then also made offerings to those worlds and proceeded on my way."
"So as to the Lotus-Supremacy world. Bhagavan, when I arrived at that world, I saw that trillions of thrones had been set up. Bhagavan, in the south of that world, I saw that trillions of thrones had been set up; in each direction of the east, the west, the north, the upside and the downside, trillions of thrones had also been set up."
"Bhagavan, each of those thrones is made from the seven treasures. On every throne, there was a Tathagata sitting cross-legged in the lotus position and preaching Dharma for the public."
"Bhagavan, having seen that, I thought: “How rare it is!” and I asked those Bhagavans: ”What is the name of this world
” One of those Buddhas answered me: ”Virtuous man, this world”s name is Lotus-Supremacy””"
"Bhagavan, I then bowed to those Buddhas and asked: ”Wh…
