### [17.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.441.17.6)

「比丘！彼若干世界，彼人於何等世界著微塵。何等世界不著微塵？彼諸世界若著微塵不著微塵，下至水際上至有頂。比丘！復有第二人取一微塵，過彼若干微塵數世界，爾數佛國土阿僧祇億百千萬那由他世界為一步。比丘！彼人復過是若干微塵數世界為一步，彼人如是過百千萬億那由他阿僧祇劫，行乃下一塵，如是盡諸微塵。比丘！如是若干世界滿中微塵，復更著十方世界。比丘！復過是世界著微塵，彼諸世界下至水際，上至有頂滿中微塵。比丘！於意云何？彼諸微塵可知數不？」

> "Bhikṣu! In those various worlds, in some worlds that person deposited a dust mote, and in some worlds he did not deposit a dust mote. In all those worlds, whether a dust mote was deposited or not, from the water boundary below to the summit of existence above—Bhikṣu, suppose there were a second person who took a single dust mote and passed beyond as many worlds as that number of dust motes, taking that number of Buddha lands, asamphyeyas of hundreds of thousands of ten millions of nayutas of worlds, as a single step. Bhikṣu! That person then again passed beyond as many worlds as that number of dust motes in a single step, and walking like this for hundreds of thousands of ten millions of nayutas of asaṃkhyeya kalpas, only then deposited a single dust mote; and in this manner exhausted all the dust motes. Bhikṣu! The dust motes filling so many worlds were then further deposited in the worlds of the ten directions. Bhikṣu! He again passed beyond these worlds and deposited dust motes, all those worlds from the water boundary below to the summit of existence above being filled with dust motes. Bhikṣu! What do you think? Could the number of all those dust motes be known?"
