維摩經略疏 1.92

1.92

"Together with a great assembly of eight thousand bhikṣus": from here down is the sixth [section], distinguishing the assembly of co-listeners. This verifies that Ānanda heard it together with the śrāvakas, bodhisattvas, the eight classes of devas and nāgas, and the four assemblies; how could it be an erroneous transmission? In this there are three parts: first, the śrāvaka assembly; second, the bodhisattva assembly; third, the miscellaneous assembly.
