The meaning is the same as what was said before. "Hosts" means followers and retinues, namely the eight classes \[of beings\]. "Hosts" means cohorts. As for "leading the hosts," "shuai" is pronounced "shuài," meaning to guide and lead. From "Like a wheel-turning king" onwards, this is an explanation in terms of phenomena. Using the wheel-turning king subduing the four quarters as an analogy for the heavenly king warding off evil spirits. The seven treasures are the wheel, elephant, horse, woman, jewel, minister, and general. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1786.5.27) - [Next: 5.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1786.5.29) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1786.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1786~en-mt.5.28) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1786.5.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1786.5.28) · Pramāṇa
