釋門歸敬儀 2.90

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.'
