About the Prajñāpāramitā he says: ‘My miraculous power has immense qualities and surpasses the threefold world, it is meant for the welfare of all. To form a bad opinion of it is to commit an immense sin; to give pure faith to it is to be assured of the happiness of gods and men and to reach the fruit of Ծṇa [e.g., Ծṇaphala] definitively’�.
