法華玄論 5.82

5.82

問：大小緣覺未得果時見佛以不？如四世得果，自三世已來得值佛不？乃至百劫未滿所作是問。

Question: Before attaining the fruit, do the great and small pratyekabuddhas see a buddha or not? For instance, for attaining the fruit in four lifetimes, from the third lifetime onward do they encounter a buddha or not? And so forth, down to when the hundred kalpas are not yet completed—such is the question asked.
