Sagara's daughter reaches the ultimate truth, as soon as she learns the Saddharmapndarika. This episode exemplifies the supernatural speed with which the ultimate truth is reached. Saicho interpreted this episode as a case of "a woman's becoming a butsu". However, a male organ having already appeared on the body, Sagara's daughter is no longer female at the time of becoming a buddha.
