As for addressing the previous four persons, Ānanda listed them individually. From "All such bodhisattvas, each facing..." downward, addressing the remaining bodhisattvas, Ānanda brings them up collectively. Since listing them completely is difficult to exhaust, he therefore brings them up comprehensively. The text straightforwardly says "all such bodhisattvas," not specifying how many. Perhaps it allows for the thirty-two thousand bodhisattvas listed earlier, or perhaps it may be the eight thousand bodhisattvas who later go to Vimalakīrti's house. Because of his lofty virtue, they all said they were not equal [to the task].
