"Second, the fulfillment of practice has four kinds: first, all the śrāvakas cultivate the practice of the Small Vehicle; second, all the bodhisattvas cultivate the practice of the Great Vehicle; third, all the bodhisattvas, through the power of sovereign supernatural abilities, can manifest and cultivate various practices according to the occasion, just as the sixteen worthy men such as the Bodhisattva Bhadrapāla, who possess the inconceivable matters of bodhisattvas yet constantly manifest various forms, namely upāsakas, upāsikās, bhikṣus, bhikṣuṇīs, and so forth; fourth, the deportment of renunciant śrāvakas is fixed, unlike that of bodhisattvas."
