### [2.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1753.2.13)

四、從與大比丘眾下，至而為上首已來，明佛徒眾。就此眾中，即分為二：一者聲聞眾，二者菩薩眾。就聲聞眾中，即有其九：初言與者，佛身兼眾，故名為與。二者總大。三者相大。四者眾大。五者耆年大。六者數大。七者尊宿大。八者內有實德大。九者果證大。

> Fourth, from "with a great assembly of monks" down to "...as their leaders", this clarifies the Buddha's disciples. Within this assembly, it is divided into two: first, the śrāvaka assembly; second, the bodhisattva assembly. Within the śrāvaka assembly, there are nine points: First, saying "with" means the Buddha's person encompasses the assembly, hence it is called "with". Second, general greatness. Third, greatness in appearance. Fourth, greatness in assembly. Fifth, greatness in senior age. Sixth, greatness in number. Seventh, greatness as venerable elders. Eighth, greatness in inner true virtue. Ninth, greatness in fruit and realization.
