The palaces of the Brahman-heavenly[-kings] of the five hundred billion worlds in the east were illumined {aglow} twice as brightly as ever.

The fact that nothing was left not covered by the first illumination implies that there is nothing that the Tao does not mirror. That the Brahma god [kings] from [all] the ten directions went far in search of this portent shows that, once [the Sage] is stimulated (kan), [beings] are certain to reach [the goal], regardless of the distance. That they did not recognize the portent of the glow tells that li is outside the reach of the senses. Their gift of the palaces [to the Buddha] expresses again their infinitely [sincere, grateful] minds. They abandoned the joy of abstruse meditation and visited the Buddha, coming a long way, and because their sentiment had remained on the wondrous Dharma, they begged the Buddha to turn the Dharma wheel.
