6.39

而四天王忉利諸天,不覺不知己之所入,唯應度者乃見須彌入芥子中,是名不可思議解脫法門。又以四大海水入一毛孔,不嬈魚鼈黿鼉水性之屬,而彼大海本相如故,諸龍鬼神阿修羅等不覺不知己之所入,於此眾生亦無所嬈。又舍利弗!住不可思議解脫菩薩,斷取三千大千世界,如陶家輪著右掌中,擲過恒沙世界之外,其中眾生不覺不知己之所往,又復還置本處,都不使人有往來想,而此世界本相如故。又舍利弗!或有眾生樂久住世而可度者,菩薩即演七日以為一劫。

Furthermore, Śāriputra, if there are sentient beings who take pleasure in remaining long in the world and can be saved, the bodhisattva extends seven days to make an eon,
