So also the king of
Gandhara, whose name was Fo-kia-lo; he, having heard the profound and
excellent law, left his country and became a recluse. So also the demons
Himapati and Vatagiri, on the mountain Vibhara, were subdued and
converted. The Brahmakarin Prayantika, on the mountain Vagana, by the
subtle meaning of half a gatha, he convinced and caused to rejoice in
faith; the village of Danamati had one Kutadanta, the head of the
twice-born Brahmans; at this time he was sacrificing countless victims;
Tathagata by means converted him, and caused him to enter the true path.
On Mount Bhatika a heavenly being of eminent distinction, whose name was
Pankasikha, receiving the law, attained Dhyana; in the village of
Vainushta, he converted the mother of the celebrated Nanda. In the town
of Ankavari, he subdued the powerful mahabala spirit; Bhanabhadra,
Sronadanta, the malevolent and powerful Nagas, the king of the country
and his harem, received together the true law, as he opened to them the
gate of immortality. In the celebrated Viggi village, Kina and Sila,
earnestly seeking to be born in heaven, he converted and made to enter
the right path. The Angulimala, in that village of Sumu, through the
exhibition of his divine power, he converted and subdued; there was that
noble's son, Purigivana, rich in wealth and stores as Punavati, directly
he was brought to Buddha, accepting the doctrine, he became vastly
liberal.
