[...] We will send down rain showers duly at the proper time. We will provide comfort and gladness. We will ripen all crops, flowers and fruits. We will keep the orders of the Tathāgata. We will establish [ourselves] with a truth-vow (satyapratijña). We will protect all beings like an only son. [...]”.
