Note

  • The bodhisattva as the ascetic Sumati pays homage to Dīpaṃkara – a buddha of the past – by launching flowers obtained from a woman, and by spreading his hair on the ground to make a passage over the mud for the Awakened One. Then, Sumati vows to become a buddha in the future and Dīpaṃkara predicts that this will indeed happen in a future existence.
