5.79

Answer: Mount Sumeru enters a mustard seed; the small does not obstruct the large, and the large does not hinder the small; hence it is called inconceivable. Now, having afflictions, fetters, and delusions does not obstruct wisdom and nirvāṇa; wisdom and nirvāṇa do not hinder afflictions, fetters, and delusions—only this is called inconceivable. If entering nirvāṇa with no delusion and having wisdom were called inconceivable, we would now raise a counter-objection: should not 'having no smallness of a mustard seed, but having the largeness of Mount Sumeru' also be treated as inconceivable?!
