妙法蓮華經玄贊 6.277

6.277

贊曰：此有六種：一調伏煩惱為僮僕，驅策隨心故；二方便善巧為臣佐；三妙願及力為吏民；四五通為象馬；五五乘為車乘；六八萬四千眾行為牛羊無數。

Eulogy: Here there are six kinds: First, subduing the afflictions constitutes the servants and attendants, driven at will; second, skillful means constitute the ministers and assistants; third, sublime vows and powers constitute the officials and commoners; fourth, the five superknowledges constitute the elephants and horses; fifth, the five vehicles constitute the carriages; sixth, the eighty-four thousand practices constitute the countless oxen and sheep.
