第三二乘中羅漢見佛攝化境界者,如大羅漢,以天眼力,得見佛攝化三千大千之境界也。即如阿那律云:「我以天眼見釋迦牟尼佛土三千大千世界,如觀掌中菴摩勒果。」如小羅漢即不定,或見佛攝化一閻浮提。此即以久伏忍力能斷結使,未有定力亦名斷結,未有力通變等事。如以此羅漢,或見佛攝化四洲及上三界境界也。此廣說在小乘諸部中。

Third, regarding the realm of the Buddha's gathering and transforming as seen by arhats within the two vehicles: a great arhat, through the power of the divine eye, is able to see the realm of a great trichiliocosm gathered and transformed by the Buddha. This is just as Aniruddha said: "With my divine eye, I see the great trichiliocosm of Śākyamuni Buddha's land as though looking at an āmalaka fruit in the palm of my hand." With lesser arhats it is variable; some see the Buddha gathering and transforming a single Jambudvīpa. This is because having long subdued [defilements] through the power of forbearance, they are able to sever the fetters; yet without the power of dhyāna-concentration, it is also termed severing the fetters, though they do not yet have the power of spiritual transformations and the like. Thus, taking such an arhat, some see the Buddha gathering and transforming the four continents and the realm of the three realms above. This is explained at length in the various treatises of the Śrāvakayāna.
