三彌勒經疏 1.184

1.184

經曰「又彌勒」以下，第三會也。《智度論》云「初會九十九億，第二會九十六億，第三會九十三億。」《賢愚經》云「初九十三億，次九十六億，後九十九億。」解云：聞機不同故。又是先所度聲聞弟子其大根性，雖前佛所化，皆三會後得無生忍故，無爾許也。

From the sūtra saying "Furthermore, Maitreya..." onward is the third assembly. The Da zhidu lun says: "The first assembly numbered ninety-nine koṭis, the second assembly ninety-six koṭis, and the third assembly ninety-three koṭis." The Damamūka-nidāna Sūtra says: "The first numbered ninety-three koṭis, the next ninety-six koṭis, and the last ninety-nine koṭis." It is explained: This is because the capacities of the listeners differed. Furthermore, the śrāvaka disciples previously delivered who were of great capacity, although transformed by the previous Buddha, all attained the forbearance of the non-arising of dharmas after the three assemblies; therefore there were not that many.
