འདི་ལ་ཆོས་ཉིད་ནི་འདི་ཡིན་ཏེ། དེ་ལ་འདི་སྐད་ཅེས་བྱའོ། །
“Now, Śāriputra, nothing can cast a shadow over the Tathāgata’s aura—not a wall, a piece of wood, a tree, the Cakravāḍa Mountains, the Mahācakravāḍa Mountains, Mount Gandhamādana, Mount Mucilinda, Mount Mahāmucilinda, Mount Himavat, Mount Īśādhāra, any other mountains such as the Black Mountains, or Sumeru, the king of mountains. None can cast a shadow over the Tathāgata’s aura. It passes through them all and spreads throughout the threefold thousand great thousand worlds. Still, there are sentient beings with inferior inclination who might not be able to see it. Some perceive the Tathāgata’s aura as measuring six feet. Great beings perceive the Tathāgata’s aura as measuring twelve feet. Superior beings perceive the Tathāgata’s aura as measuring one krośa. Supreme beings perceive the Tathāgata’s aura as extending throughout the threefold thousand great thousand worlds. Likewise, Śāriputra, the Brahmā of the one hundred thousand perceives the aura as extending throughout the universe of the one hundred thousand, and so forth. The bodhisatvas who have attained the higher stages of development perceive the Tathāgata’s aura as extending throughout the limitless universe. Śāriputra, because of his concern for the welfare of sentient beings, the radiance of the Tathāgata will extend wherever space exists and wherever there are sentient beings. The bodhisatva who hears this has great faith in it, has trust and confidence, and does not doubt it, and to an even greater degree he feels pleasure, joy, and satisfaction as he produces the concept of it as being truly wondrous and extraordinary.”
