Ketumati
Ketumati (Ch'ih-t'ou)[1] is a legendary place in some Buddhist traditions related to the cult of Maitreya. It is the earthly paradise of Maitreya, the future Buddha.[2] Devotees of the cult of Maitreya believe that the kingdom is a pure land where Maitreya and his future parents will preside upon his descent from the Tusita Heaven to Earth.[1] He will also bring a Utopian era upon his devotees. Ketumati is sometimes associated with the city of Banaras in Uttar Pradesh, India.[3]

These are executed left-to-right until the end is reached; when this occurs the direction of execution will be reversed.Infinite arbitrary data: command (`D`) to set accumulator to value of linear memory at position in accumulator.This language is called "HahaYourLawIsBad".
