summary:
  en: This is an avadāna text consisting of 12 chapters. It narrates a story about an ancient Buddha named Vasubandhu. The story begins with Lord Śākyasiṃha visiting the summit of Kaṇakagiri Hill during a session of samādhi (cosmic contemplation). At that time, a flame issued from between his eyebrows, illuminating 28,000 sacred Buddhist sites. Maitreya then asked Mañjuśrī about this phenomenon. In response, Mañjuśrī began recounting the story of a previous Tathāgata named Varaprabha—how he entered samādhi, enlightened many beings, and converted King Ajita and his eight sons to Buddhism. In the next chapter, following the samādhi, Śākyasiṃha invites Maitreya and narrates the story of Indrapṛṣṭha, who ruled over Gandhavatī, and the Bodhisattva Vasubandhu. It tells how Vasubandhu enlightened Indrapṛṣṭha, who subsequently established vihāras in Benares. (Mitra, 1882, pp. 233-234). The manuscript contains the following chapters: The name of the first chapter is not mentioned, but it ends with the word ‘prathama’, indicating the conclusion of the first chapter on folio 5a. The subsequent chapters are as follows: nimintraṇa (nimantrana) parivartta (f.9a); dharmmaśravaṇaparivartta (f.12b); ṣaḍgatipasaṃsanaparivartta (f.17a); vihārādisthāpanaparivartta (f.27b); vidhānaparivartta (f.30b); bhūmipavaraṇaparivartta (f.34b); nimintranādi(nimantranādi)purapraveśaparivartta (f.45b); rātripūjanaparivartta (f.50b); pūjākrammapūrvvanimittaparivartta (f.55b); bhojanādiphalaṃcivattoparivartta (f.58a & 58b); saṃghabhojyaparivartta (f.62a). This text is similar to Sl. No. 473 and 474; however, most of the chapter names differ slightly from those in that version.
