Answer: At the beginning of the "Inquiring about Illness" chapter, the scripture states, "At that time eight thousand bodhisattvas and five hundred śrāvakas all wished to follow"; thus one knows that in the "Bodhisattvas" chapter eight thousand persons were ordered. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.61](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.1.61) - [Next: 1.63](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.1.63) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779~en-mt.1.62) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [維摩詰所說經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.vimalakirtinirdesa*zh-kumarajiva.2.5) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.1.62](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.1.62) · Pramāṇa
