Part 7: Candraprabha’s omniscience
In his wandering the Blessed One went again to Sahasrāmravaṇa, and stood in pratimā under a punnāga tree. The Lord’s destructive karma disappeared at the end of the second pure meditation, like snow at the end of winter. When the Master had fasted two days, his brilliant omniscience was manifested on the seventh of the black half of Phālguna, the moon being in conjunction with Anurādhā.
