2.26

From the sūtra's “Together with great bhikṣus” onward: the sixth, the companions in hearing and upholding. This proves that Ānanda heard together with the great assembly; how could it be falsely transmitted? As for why śrāvakas come first, bodhisattvas next, and deva-nāgas last: the two vehicles are attached to emptiness, ordinary people are attached to existence, and bodhisattvas are not attached, constantly practicing non-duality; therefore they are placed in between.
