3.398

The Vimalakīrtinirdeśa states: "Śāriputra asked the goddess, 'How long have you stayed in this room?' She replied, 'As long as the elder's liberation.' Śāriputra said, 'Then you have stayed here a long time.' The goddess [replied]," and so forth. Explanation: "Elder" refers to Śāriputra's seniority. How could the liberation realized by Śāriputra belong to a duration of long or short time? Hence she spoke thus.
