仁王護國般若經疏 2.28

2.28

As for the "householders of the seven ranks of worthies," the second is designating the name. There are two kinds of the seven ranks of worthies: first, in the Small Vehicle, the contemplations of the five stoppings of mind and so forth are these; second, in the Great Vehicle: the first is named the person of initial generation of mind; the second is named the practitioner of signs; the third is named the practitioner of signlessness; the fourth is named the practitioner of expedient means; the fifth is named the person of the nature of severance; the sixth is named the person of the lineage of nature; and the seventh is named the person of the lineage of the path. All are prior to the stages; harmonizing the mind and complying with the path, they are named the seven ranks of worthies. As for "householder," in foreign countries, accumulating wealth up to a hundred million is called a householder. Here, being rich in the seven pure jewels, they are called householders: faith, giving, morality, learning, wisdom, conscience, and shame are named the seven mundane jewels, and so forth.
