"The five hundred Arhats, Uruvilvakashyapa, Gayakashyapa, Nadikashyapa, Kalodayin, Udayin, Aniruddha, Revata, Kapphina, Vakula, Cunda, Svagata, and others all will attain Anuttarasamyaksambodhi, all of them with the same name Universal-Brightness."

At that time the World Honored One, wishing to restate his meaning, spoke verses, saying:<br>
 
The Bhikshu Kaundinya,<br>
Will see limitless Buddhas,<br>
And after Asankhyeya aeons,<br>
Will realize Equal Proper Enlightenment.<br>
Ever putting forth great light,<br>
Perfecting all spiritual powers,<br>
His name will be heard in the ten directions,<br>
And he shall be revered by all.<br>
He will always speak the Unsurpassed Path,<br>
And will therefore be called Universal-Brightness.<br>
His land will be pure,<br>
With courageous and heroic [[Bodhisattva]]s.<br>
All will mount wonderful towers,<br>
And roam through the ten direction lands,<br>
And supreme offerings<br>
They will present to all the Buddhas.<br>
Having made these offerings,<br>
With minds full of rejoicing,<br>
They will instantly return to their own lands,<br>
Such are the spiritual powers they will have.<br>
The lifespan of that Buddha will be sixty-thousand aeons,<br>
His Proper Dharma will dwell twice that long.<br>
The Dharma Image Age will be twice the length of that.<br>
When the Dharma is extinguished, the gods and people will mourn.<br>
These five hundred Bhikshus<br>
Shall in turn become Buddhas<br>
All by the name of Universal-Brightness.<br>
Each shall bestow predictions on his successors<br>
Saying, "After my extinction<br>
Such and such shall become a Buddha.<br>
The World in which he will teach<br>
Will be like mine today.<br>
The adnorments of his land<br>
And his spiritual powers,<br>
The host of Bodhisattvas and Sound Hearers,<br>
The Proper and Dharma Images of Ages,<br>
The number of [[aeon]]s in his lifespan,<br>
Will be as just stated.<br>
[[Kashyapa]], you should know<br>
About these five hundred who have attained self-control.<br>
As for the remaining Sound Hearers,<br>
They shall be likewise.<br>
To those not present in this assembly,<br>
You should expound these matters.
 
At that time, the [[five hundred arhats]], having received predictions from the Buddha, jumped for joy.
