Eighth, as for the persons turning [it]: first the primary and then the retinue. In the Hinayāna, the primary refers to Śākyamuni's birth body and nirmāṇakāya Buddha, with the śrāvaka disciples as retinue. In the Three Vehicles, the primary is the three bodies of the Buddha, with the śrāvakas and bodhisattvas as retinue—namely Śāriputra and the others. In the One Vehicle, the primary refers to the ten bodies of Rocana, with Samantabhadra and other bodhisattvas as retinue, also to be understood as multiplying and manifesting like Indra's net.
