6.76

Second, explaining the elder's son. In the Commentary on the Lotus [Sūtra], possessing ten kinds of virtues is called an elder: first, noble clan; second, high status; third, great wealth; fourth, formidable power; fifth, profound wisdom; sixth, advanced age; seventh, pure conduct; eighth, complete propriety; ninth, praised by superiors; tenth, relied upon by subordinates. From "A son..." downward, it is also like a prince or a young nobleman. Therefore the sūtra says: "Later, in the household of the great elder Jaladhara, a son was born, named Jalavāhana."
