Next, the assembly of seven Ganges sands of royal consorts. Above, the current consorts were listed; here, widowed concubines, virtuous women, and so forth are listed. The text has two parts: those summoned, and complying with the summons. Those summoned comprise number, category, names, and praise. Within the category, the consort of King [Ajātaśatru] is excluded. Furthermore, their origin being the three samādhis, their traces appearing in female deportment, they are all of the provisional category. Listing the names is as in the text. "All settled" praises their virtues. Seeking above and converting below are all as in the text. "Each said to one another" is complying with the summons, as in the text.
