菩薩從兜術天降神母胎說廣普經 2.41

2.41

"Why is that? Even if the trichiliocosm were filled with ferocious beasts wishing to eat the flesh of a bodhisattva, such a thing could not be. Formerly, when I encouraged you as to who could advance first, both you and Mañjuśrī said you could not face it. At that time, using my supernatural power, I revealed the taste of nectar to that hungry beast; keeping my mind resolute, I was able to attain supreme, correct, and complete enlightenment. You spoke of expediently stepping back and staying behind; all of this was teaching and transforming those with consciousness, not teaching and transforming those without consciousness."
