གཞལ་ཏེ་ཡོངས་སུ་དཔྱད་ནས་དེ་བཞིན་གཤེགས་པའི་རྫུ་འཕྲུལ་དང་མཚུངས་ཤིང་མཉམ་པར་མ་མཐོང་ནས་དེ་འདི་སྙམ་དུ་སེམས་ཏེ།
“Śāriputra, the tathāgata, arhat, fully accomplished Buddha has said that when it comes to śrāvakas who possess great magical abilities, the best among the mendicants is the elder Mahāmaudgalyāyana. If a bodhisatva assesses and examines the magical abilities first of a śrāvaka and then of a bodhisatva, he will not be able to say that the magical abilities of the śrāvaka can compare to those of the bodhisatva. If he then assesses and examines the magical abilities first of a bodhisatva and then of the tathāgatas, he will not be able to claim that the magical abilities of the bodhisatva can compare to those of the tathāgatas. He will then conclude that the magical tathāgata-abilities of the tathāgatas are inconceivable, and that their magical tathāgata-abilities are perfected by means of the application of great vigor.
