法華義疏 7.169

《大品》前亦明已說大乘，舊相傳云佛成道六年說《鴦崛摩羅經》廣明大乘法。又云佛成道六年說《大波若》十萬偈，不來此土。又《仁王經》明《金剛波若》在《大品》前說。此法中善吉已聞《波若》悲喜交集，即是出入無難事，良由已聞大乘，故大機漸動，堪付財耳。若大機猶未發者不堪付財，故說大機已動也。

Prior to the Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra, it is also explained that the Mahāyāna had already been taught. Old traditions state that in the sixth year after the Buddha attained awakening, he taught the Aṅgulimālīya Sūtra, extensively explaining the Mahāyāna teachings. It is also said that in the sixth year after attaining awakening, the Buddha taught the Mahāprajñāpāramitā Sūtra in one hundred thousand verses, which was not brought to this land. Furthermore, the Renwang jing explains that the Vajracchedikā Prajñāpāramitā was taught before the Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra. In this teaching, Subhūti had already heard the Prajñāpāramitā, with grief and joy intermingling, which is precisely the matter of having no difficulty going out and coming in. This was genuinely because he had already heard the Mahāyāna; thus his Mahāyāna capacity was gradually stirred, and he was fit to be entrusted with the wealth. If the Mahāyāna capacity had not yet arisen, one would not be fit to be entrusted with the wealth; therefore it is said that the Mahāyāna capacity had already been stirred.
