第六身量大小者。俱舍論云。身量如六七歲小兒。而識解聰利。若菩薩在中陰。如圓滿少病人。具大小相。是故雖在中陰。正欲入胎。而能遍照萬俱胝剡浮洲。

Sixth, concerning the size of the body: the Kośa-śāstra says that the body size is like that of a child of six or seven years, yet its cognitive understanding is acute and sharp. If a bodhisattva is in the intermediate existence, he is like a fully developed youth free of sickness, endowed with the major and minor marks. Therefore, although in the intermediate existence and just about to enter the womb, he can illuminate ten thousand koṭis of Jambudvīpas everywhere.
