七問：龍女成佛權實疑。經云：八歲龍女於剎那頃發菩提心，乃至云即往南方無垢世界坐寶蓮華成等正覺。且三論、法相宗難曰：彼娑竭羅龍王既是深位，權現龍身，豈其龍女成佛是實證耶？

Question 7: Doubt concerning whether the dragon girl's attainment of Buddhahood is provisional or real. The sūtra states: "The eight-year-old dragon girl in an instant gave rise to the bodhi mind," and further says that "she immediately went to the Vimalā world in the south, sat upon a jeweled lotus flower, and attained equal, correct enlightenment." Now, the Sanlun and Faxiang schools raise the objection: "Since that dragon king Sāgara is already of a profound stage and provisionally manifested a dragon body, could the dragon girl's attainment of Buddhahood really be an actual realization?"
