「普賢菩薩身量無邊、音聲無邊、色像無邊，欲來此國，入自在神通促身令小，閻浮提人三障重故。以智慧力化乘白象，其象六牙，七支跓地，其七支下生七蓮華。象色鮮白，白中上者頗梨、雪山不得為比。身長四百五十由旬、高四百由旬。於六牙端有六浴池，一一浴池中生十四蓮華，與池正等，其華開敷如天樹王。一一華上有一玉女，顏色紅輝有過天女，手中自然化五箜篌，一一箜篌有五百樂器以為眷屬。有五百飛鳥，鳧、鴈、鴛鴦……，皆眾寶色，生花葉間。象鼻有華，其莖譬如赤真珠色，其華金色，含而未敷。

"The bodily size of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva is boundless, his voice is boundless, and his physical form is boundless. When he wishes to come to this land, he enters sovereign supernatural powers and shrinks his body to make it small, because the people of Jambudvīpa have heavy three obstacles. By the power of wisdom he manifests mounted on a white elephant. That elephant has six tusks and seven limbs planted on the ground; beneath its seven limbs seven lotuses grow. The elephant's color is a vivid white, the highest among whites, such that crystal and the Snow Mountains cannot compare to it. Its body is four hundred and fifty yojanas long and four hundred yojanas high. At the tips of its six tusks are six bathing pools; in each bathing pool grow fourteen lotuses equal in size to the pool, their blossoms blooming like the heavenly tree kings. Upon each blossom is a jade maiden whose complexion glows red, surpassing that of heavenly maidens; in their hands there spontaneously appear five harp-lutes, each accompanied by five hundred musical instruments as retinue. There are five hundred flying birds—wild ducks, geese, mandarin ducks—all the colors of various jewels, appearing among the flowers and leaves. On the elephant's trunk there is a lotus whose stem resembles the color of red pearls; its flower is golden in color, budded and not yet blossomed.
