" When His Majesty rapturously listened to religious recitations, his soul was purified, and 

 Indra became instantly apprised of it by the increase of the heat in his mansion, 



" All his resplendent abodes glared Avith unwonted fire. The God with the thousand eyes 

 looked down to the earth, and rejoiced to observe the King gradually approaching, by the efficacy 

 of austerities and charitable deeds, the enviable condition of a Buddha." 



The next verses from the same are also in the Chabang of 16 words to
