Then, by the power of the Lord, the Venerable Śāriputra rose from [his seat in] the pavilion, stood in the space, placed his knees upon the ground (jānumaṇḍala), saluted the Lord with his hands put together, and addressed himself to the Lord. (atha khalu buddhānubhāvenāyuṣmāñ śāriputra utthāya kūṭāgārād gagane sthitvā jānumaṇḍalaṃ pṛthivyāṃ pratiṣṭhāpya yena bhagavāṃs tenāñjaliṃ praṇamya bhagavantam etad avocat) "Except these pavilions found in space, O Lord, all of the great three-thousands of worlds have changed into space, becoming the essence of empty space (ākāśasvabhāva) - what does this auspicious sign (pūrvanimitta) portend?" The Lord said: "Do you see, Śāriputra, these pavilions?" Śāriputra said: "O Lord, I see them." (bhagavān āyuṣmantaṃ śāriputram āmantrayate sma paśyasi tvaṃ śāriputra imān kūṭāgārān | āha paśyāmi bhagavan) The Lord said: “Is it possible to know the limit of the praise (praśaṃsā) of these pavilions?” Śāriputra said: “I cannot understand, O Lord, the limit of the praise of these pavilions until the end of my life.” The Lord said: “Śāriputra, just as this whole assembly, having gone to open space, appear to enter into the well-adorned pavilion, in the same way they enter into the pavilion in the Mahāvyūha universe.” Śāriputra said, “O Lord, where is the splendor of Mahāvyūha universe (prabhamahāvyūhalokadhātu)?” The Lord said, “There is, Śāriputra, the universe named Mahāvyūha where it is located in the eastern direction (pūrvasyān diśi), beyond eight buddha-fields (aṣṭa buddhakṣetrāṇi) which are filled with dustlike (paramāṇurajas) numerous buddha-fields. There the tathāgata named Ekaratnavyūha resides, lives, and teaches religion (tatraikaratnavyūha nāma tathāgato tiṣṭhati dhriyate yāpayati dharmaṃ deśayati). . O Śāriputra, except for the jewel that is the thought of awakwning (bodhicitta), any other jewels do not appear in the Mahāvyūha universe. That is why he is called the tathāgata Ekaratnavyūha. (tenocyate tathāgata ekaratnavyūha iti) When the Tathāgata on the lion’s throne (siṃhāsana) taught religion to those bodhisatvas, he was elevated into the vault of the sky as high as eighty tāla koṭis. So did the bodhisatvas in the Mahāvhūya pavilion.

爾時舍利弗承佛威神從寶臺起更整衣服。偏袒右肩右膝著地。合掌向佛而白佛言。世尊。是何瑞相有如是等生勝喜悦現大神變。世尊。此諸大衆皆生疑惑。願如來説何因何縁。現此未曾有事。爾時佛告舍利弗。東方去此過八佛世界微塵數等佛土。有世界名大莊嚴。彼國有佛號一寶莊嚴如來應供正遍知明行足善逝世間解無上士調御丈夫天人師佛世尊。今現在説法。以何因縁世界名大莊嚴。若廣説彼世界莊嚴事者一劫不盡。是故彼土名大莊嚴。何因縁故。彼佛名爲一寶莊嚴。舍利弗。彼如來因一寶説法。所謂無上大乘之寶。是故彼佛名一寶莊嚴。彼佛與諸菩薩衆各昇師子座。踊在空中高八十億多摩樹。

爾時舍利子承佛威神。從寶樓閣起住虚空。整理衣服偏袒右肩。跪合掌而白佛言。世尊是何因縁先現此瑞。於此三千大千世界所有色像。悉皆隱蔽如大虚空。唯有如是所居衆寶莊嚴樓閣自然顯現。佛告舍利子汝今見此寶樓閣不。答言已見。佛言舍利子汝能讃歎此寶樓閣功徳盡不。舍利子言盡我壽量不能稱讃眞實功徳。如是舍利子有世界名大莊嚴。彼中所有妙寶樓閣一切衆會皆住虚空。今此樓閣如彼所現。舍利子白佛言。世尊彼大莊嚴世界今在何許。佛告舍利子。東方過此八佛世界微塵數佛土。有世界名大莊嚴。佛號一寶莊嚴如來應供正遍知明行足善逝世間解無上士調御丈夫天人師佛世尊。今現在説法。舍利子以何因縁名大莊嚴。彼世界中所有莊嚴殊勝之事。若我住世以一劫壽説不能盡。是故名之爲大莊嚴。復以何縁名爲一寶莊嚴。彼佛常説唯以大菩提心而爲其寶。是故名爲一寶莊嚴。彼佛説法與諸菩薩昇師子座及寶樓閣。踊在虚空高八十倶胝多羅樹。
