Excellent, son of good family! Son of good family, you have done well to ask the Tathāgata. [...] You have been clad in the armour of great friendliness and great compassion, have honored the immeasurable Buddhas, have been never satisfied to seek the dharma (dharmaparyeṣṭi), have transcended all aspects of conceit by means of the sword of knowledge, have constantly strived for the benefit of living beings, [...]’”,
