Regarding the commentary's "not exceeding twenty classes," these twenty classes subsume fifty-four persons. Bodhisattvas subsume five: first, Mañjuśrī; second, Avalokiteśvara; third, Ananyagāmin; fourth, Maitreya; fifth, Samantabhadra. Second, bhikṣus subsume five: first, Meghaśrī; second, Sāgaramegha; third, Supratiṣṭhita; fourth, Sāgaradhvaja; fifth, Sudarśana. Third, bhikṣuṇīs comprise only one: namely, Siṃhavijṛmbhitā.

Twentieth, spirits subsume ten: first, the earth spirit Sthirā; second, the night spirit Vasantī; third, the night spirit Samantaprabhā; fourth, the night spirit Pramuditendriyadarśanā; fifth, the night spirit Samantavyasanagocaranirmalā; sixth, the night spirit Śāntasvaranirghoṣā; seventh, the night spirit Sarvanagararakṣābalavardhanī; eighth, the night spirit Sarvavṛkṣapuṣpapraphullitā; ninth, the night spirit Mahāpraṇidhānāparikhedaprahāṇabalasarvasattvaparipācī; tenth, the Lumbinī grove spirit: namely, Paripūrṇā. Thus twenty classes subsume fifty-four [kalyāṇamitras]. Regarding the commentary's "four: discriminating differences in terms of characteristics does not exceed the bodhisattva's five rebirths," this is distinguished in chapter 48 of the Yogācārabhūmi. "First, rebirth to pacify suffering," also named eliminating calamity, such as becoming a great fish, etc., which is saving from suffering in times of famine, saving from suffering in the ocean, and so forth. "Second, [rebirth] according to class," because it conforms to all classes. "Third, superior rebirth," also named rebirth with great influence, referring to physical appearance, clan, wealth, nobility, and the like. "Fourth, predominant rebirth," from the first stage to the tenth stage, becoming kings, and so forth. "Fifth, final rebirth," namely, a bodhisattva in his final embodiment. Here it is slightly different, the intention being to subsume these kalyāṇamitras under those meanings. In the sixth [fascicle] of the Mahāyānasaṃgraha, it explains that superior rebirth is also called most superior rebirth, referring to pleasant rebirth places in all worldly realms, as should be known. This is the merit of teaching the Dharma. Regarding the commentary's "generally, the preceding four each possess five rebirths," previously, looking at the fourth [perspective] in terms of characteristics, there are five; now, applied generally to the preceding fruition, cause, and meaning, each also possesses five. Regarding the commentary's "among them, bodhisattvas have six," this discriminates difference regarding the final one among the twenty classes, including Mañjuśrī and Samantabhadra.
