8.9

These five hundred are indeed the number of the twelve hundred; in the verses, the final one and a half verses generally confer prophecies upon seven hundred, so there are twelve hundred. Moreover, the "Upholding [the Dharma] Chapter" says, "Previously I generally prophesied that all śrāvakas have already received prophecies," which refers to these present one and a half verses, and is not merely conferring prophecies upon seven hundred śrāvakas.
