7.8

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?
