7.8

有引《婆沙》云:身子上、目連中,餘皆下者,其語似同彼小今實,文意永異不可雷同。《正法華》名「信樂品」,其義雖通樂不及解,今明領解何以云樂?

Someone cites the *Vibhāṣā* saying: Śāriputra is superior, Maudgalyāyana is middling, and the rest are all inferior. These words appear similar, but that is Hinayana while the present is the real; their textual intents are eternally distinct and cannot be conflated. The *Saddharmapuṇḍarīka* translated by Dharmarakṣa titles this the "Chapter on Faith and Delight"; although its meaning is compatible, "delight" does not equal "understanding." Now, as this clarifies expressing understanding, why speak of delight?
