English version: Such things, even if known and seen, are spoken out of disbelief, thus constituting slander. Because of the continuous slander arising from their thoughts and perceptions, they quickly fall into hell. 'Furthermore, Śāriputra (one of the ten principal disciples of the Buddha, known for his wisdom)! There are eight assemblies in the world. What are the eight? First, the Kṣatriya (warrior and ruler caste in ancient India) assembly; second, the Brāhmaṇa (priest caste in ancient India) assembly; third, the Elder assembly; fourth, the Śrāmaṇa (ascetic, religious wanderer) assembly; fifth, the Cāturmahārājika (Heaven of the Four Great Kings, lowest of the six heavens of the desire realm in Buddhism) Heaven assembly; sixth, the Trāyastriṃśa (Heaven of the Thirty-three Gods, second of the six heavens of the desire realm in Buddhism) Heaven assembly; seventh, the Māra (demon, obstacle to enlightenment in Buddhism) assembly; eighth, the Brahmā (general term for deities of the form realm) Heaven assembly.' 'Śāriputra! In the past, I have gone to countless hundreds of thousands of Kṣatriya assemblies. Whatever appearance those assemblies presented, I also manifested the same form as them; whatever measure of light those assemblies possessed, I also possessed the same light. If those assemblies spoke according to their own teachings, I would first speak the same as they did, and then I would speak the Dharma that surpasses theirs. Although I spoke in this way, those assemblies were completely unable to understand. Because of this, those assemblies wondered: ‘Who is this that just spoke the Dharma? Is it a Śrāmaṇa? Is it a Brāhmaṇa? Or is it spoken by a deva, human, Māra, or Brahmā?’ At that time, I would again speak the supreme Dharma for them, revealing, teaching, benefiting, and delighting them. After revealing, teaching, benefiting, and delighting them as they should be, I would then conceal my body and disappear.
