Second, from "Now the Dharma [King]" onward, explaining that master and disciple adapt to capacities to go and transform them, which has two parts: first, the Dharma King dispenses teaching according to their inclinations. "First drawing them with the hook of desire" and so on: these ten mental factors mutually penetrate; here it is spoken of in terms of common desire. One first uses the mundane desires of the ten mental factors, and later causes them to enter the Buddha's ten mental factors. Second, from "Now the ten [disciples]" onward, explaining that the disciples accord with capacities to administer the Dharma. "People gather according to their kind": those fond of wisdom enjoy being close to Śāriputra; those fond of spiritual powers enjoy being close to Maudgalyāyana; the rest are explained analogously. The *Yijing* says, "Species gather according to their kind"; this is changed to "people" to accord with the present meaning.
