20.238

前中，言有眾菩薩，等是勝解行也。同一會坐等者，地前菩薩未正證如，但作意言分別觀行，故名勝行地菩薩。

In the former, regarding 'there were a multitude of bodhisattvas', and so on: these are [bodhisattvas of] the stage of practice with resolute aspiration. Regarding 'sitting together in one assembly', and so on: bodhisattvas before the stages have not yet directly realized suchness, but only perform contemplations through mental verbal discrimination; hence they are named bodhisattvas on the stage of superior practice.
