"Commentary on the Mahayana Vijñapti Sutra"

At that time, the bhikshus in the presence of the World-Honored One were mostly drowsy and listless, unable to maintain their composure. Then the World-Honored One radiated brilliance from his face like a lotus blooming. At that moment, all the bhikshus were roused and became alert. Each straightened his posture and thought thus: "Now the Buddha, the World-Honored One, shines with a radiant countenance and illuminates all with the light from his face. What Dharma-eye is he about to open to greatly benefit beings?"

At that time, the noble youth Bhadrapāla, dignified and handsome, with a gentle luster and perfect features, was surrounded by sixty thousand merchant leaders before and after him. The clamor of their entourage was like an earthquake as they approached the Buddha's abode. Seeing the World-Honored One—serene, steadfast, the treasury of all virtues, majestic and resplendent like a great golden tree—he developed profound faith and reverence. Folding his palms in contemplation, he thought thus: "All jointly praise the Buddha's omniscience, his universal vision of all things. Truly, he is the Tathagata, the Arhat, the Perfectly Enlightened One—genuine and without falsehood." He paid homage at the Buddha's feet and gazed intently.
