又《無上依經》云：「假使娑婆世界碎為微塵，皆是四果、辟支佛等。有人盡形供養，乃至起塔，其福雖多，不如男子、女人取佛舍利如芥子造塔，如阿摩勒大戴剎，如針大露盤，如棗葉大，造像如麥大。此之功德，勝前無量不可思議。若不迴向無上道者，以此功德聚，盡娑婆世界微塵數，作六欲天王、轉輪聖王，不可說盡。」

Furthermore, the Anuttarāśraya Sūtra states: 'Suppose the Sahā world were ground into fine dust, each particle being an attainer of the four fruits, a pratyekabuddha, or the like. If someone were to make offerings to them for their entire life, even erecting stupas, though that blessing would be great, it would not equal a man or woman taking a Buddha relic as small as a mustard seed to build a stupa as large as an āmalaka fruit with a mast as small as a needle and dew basins as small as jujube leaves, and fashioning an image as small as a grain of barley. This merit surpasses the former by an immeasurable, inconceivable degree. If not dedicated toward the unsurpassed path, by this heap of merit, for as many times as the fine dust particles of the Sahā world, one would become a king of the six desire heavens or a wheel-turning sage king, beyond description.'
