諸仏子。譬如大海一竜王。起大雲雨。皆能堪受。若二竜王。三四五十二十三十四十五十。若百竜王。若千若万。若億若百億。若千万億那由他竜王。乃至無量無辺大竜王。起雲所雨。一時澍下。皆能受持。所以者何。大海是無量器故。諸仏子。菩薩摩訶薩。亦如是。住法雲地。於一仏所。能受大法明雨二仏三四五十百千万億。乃至無量無辺。不可称不可説。無有限過諸算数。於一念中。皆能堪受如是諸仏大法雲雨。是故此地。名法雲地。
譬如大海一竜王起大雲雨。皆能堪受。若二若三。乃至無量無辺諸大竜王所起雲雨。一時澍下。皆能受持。菩薩摩訶薩亦如是。住法雲地。於一仏所。能受大法明雨。二仏三仏乃至不可説不可説仏。於一念中。皆能堪受如是諸仏大法雲雨。是故此地名法雲地。
