Leaving the great vimana the Bodhisattva sat down in the great palace called Dharmoccaya and expounded the Law to the Tusitagods. He entered this palace and seated himself upon the lionthrone called Sudharma. Thereupon all the gods sons who share the state of the Bodhisattva and are found in the same Vehicle, entered the palace. And the Bodhisattva's of the ten winds came together, those who follow the same rule of life as the Bodhisattva, with the gods sons; they also entered the palace and set themselves each on his own lion-throne. As soon as the crowds of apsaras and the lesser gods sons were departed, they were a company of sixty eight thousand koti's all sunk together in pious meditation. Then (were the words uttered): "After twelve years shall the Bodhisattva descend into a mother's womb" ( 13: 9).

The Bodhisattva is seated on a throne in a pavilion with one female attendant near him, while, in a distinctly conversational attitude, he turns to the company of gods and Bodhisattva's seated under a pendapa, the first man of which is making a sembah. The third wears a rather unusual headdress which it is not easy to see the meaning of; was the intention to distinguish in some way the costume of the gods from that of the Bodhisattva's, then this person would not have been the only one. Quite on the right of the pavilion are seated two more listeners; the first one is also making a sembah, the second holds an utpala; these persons are also put under a pendapa-roof and evidently belong to the same company of gods and Bodhisattva's. None of them are sitting on the lion-thrones required by the text nor does the seat of the Bodhisattva shew any sign of the lion-throne mentioned.
