གཞོན་ནུ་དེ་ཇི་སྙམ་དུ་སེམས། གང་དེ་ལྟར་དཔག་ཏུ་མེད་པར་བྱམས་པ་བསྒོམ་པའི་དགེ་བའི་རྩ་བ་དེའི་ཚད་གཟུང་བར་ནུས་སམ། གསོལ་པ། བཅོམ་ལྡན་འདས་དེ་ནི་མ་ལགས་སོ། །བདེ་བར་གཤེགས་པ་དེ་ནི་མ་ལགས་སོ། །གཞོན་ནུ་དེ་ལྟར་བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་དཔའ་སེམས་དཔའ་ཆེན་པོ་རྣམས་ཀྱི་བྱམས་པ་ཆེན་པོ་བསྒོམ་པའི་དགེ་བའི་རྩ་བ་ནི་དཔག་ཏུ་མེད་པ་ཡིན་ཏེ
“ ‘I will illustrate this for you, young prince, so that you may reach an understanding of how immeasurable the realm of sentient beings is. Young prince, imagine that the worlds to the east, as numerous as the grains of sand in the river Ganges, those to the south, the west, the north, and the intermediate directions, and those above and below—the worlds in the ten directions as numerous as the grains of sand in the river Ganges—all became nothing but a single great ocean. Imagine then that sentient beings as numerous as the grains of sand in the river Ganges gathered, and each took from the ocean a drop of water as small as the tip of a hair split into one hundred parts. Imagine that sentient beings as numerous as the grains of sand in the river Ganges gathered, and each took from the ocean two drops of water as small as the tip of a hair split into one hundred. Imagine that sentient beings as numerous as the grains of sand in the river Ganges gathered, and each took from the ocean three drops of water as small as the tip of a hair split into one hundred parts. Young prince, this would deplete the water element, but there would still be no measure or limit to the realm of sentient beings. This, young prince, is how immeasurable, how unlimited, the realm of sentient beings is, and it is all encompassed by the love of the bodhisatva. What do you think young prince? Is it possible to definitively grasp the immeasurable root of virtue that is the cultivation of love?’
