### [6.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.643.6.16)

佛告父王：「如大人相白毫光明及一切相，有能逆觀、順觀、分別觀者，全觀圓光及丈六者，但發是心如見不見除却眾罪，如向所說。設有施主具五神通，得如意珠飛遍十方，十方世界一一世界，眾生之數不可得知，但以無量無邊總為其數。如是眾生皆是羅漢，是大施主盡算數劫，供養賢聖四事無乏，是人得福寧為多不？」

> The Buddha told his father, the king: 'Regarding the marks of a great person, the light of the white curl, and all the marks: if there are those who can contemplate them in reverse, contemplate them in order, or contemplate them with discernment, fully contemplating the circular radiance and the sixteen-foot body, merely by generating this mind—whether they seem to see them or not—their multitude of offenses will be eradicated as explained above. Suppose there is a donor endowed with the five supernormal powers who obtains a cintāmaṇi and flies throughout the ten directions. In the worlds of the ten directions, in each and every world, the number of sentient beings is unknowable, but is reckoned only as immeasurable and boundless. If all such sentient beings were arhats, and this great donor, for kalpas beyond count, were to make offerings to these noble ones with the four requisites without lack, would the merit obtained by this person be great or not?'
