4.43

如來在此鐵圍山外。十方諸佛並皆雲集說法。亦名說經。後時文殊召諸菩薩及大阿羅漢。結集大乘法藏。各言某經我從佛聞。須菩提言。金剛般若我從佛聞。故知不局阿難。然阿難則遍聞諸經。餘弟子則偏局當部(淨名疏引智論)。

Outside this Iron Encircling Mountain, all the Buddhas of the ten directions gathered like clouds to preach the Dharma, which was also called expounding scriptures. Later, Mañjuśrī summoned all the bodhisattvas and great arhats to compile the Mahāyāna Dharma treasury. Each said: 'Such and such a scripture I heard from the Buddha.' Subhūti said: 'The Diamond Prajñā I heard from the Buddha.' Hence we know it was not restricted to Ānanda. However, Ānanda heard all the scriptures comprehensively, whereas the other disciples were partially limited to their respective divisions (*Commentary on the Vimalakīrtinirdeśa*, citing the *Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa*).
