Verse 3.109
सूत्रं इमं बालजनप्रमोहनमभिज्ञज्ञानान मि एतु भाषितम् ।
विषयो हि नैवास्तिह श्रावकाणां प्रत्येकबुद्धान गतिर्न चात्र ॥ १०९ ॥
sūtraṃ imaṃ bālajanapramohanamabhijñajñānāna mi etu bhāṣitam |
viṣayo hi naivāstiha śrāvakāṇāṃ pratyekabuddhāna gatirna cātra || 109 ||
This Sutra is apt to puzzle the ignorant, and I do not pronounce it before having penetrated to superior knowledge. Indeed, it is not within the range of the disciples, nor do the Pratyekabuddhas come to it.
