三彌勒經疏 1.92

1.92

Where the sūtra states, "Even if I were to abide in the world," onward: second, this praises the excellence. Regarding "small kalpa," one explanation says it refers to small kalpas of famine and the like. This explanation is incorrect; the duration of famine and the like is extremely short, yet even the fruitions of ordinary beings cannot be fully described, let alone the responses of a bodhisattva. Here it refers to a kalpa counted by days, months, and years.
