Answer: That treatise was co-authored by Arhats together with the Bodhisattva Vasumitra; in order to include the Bodhisattva, "others" was placed below. "Others" is used because they are of different classes. Here there are only Bodhisattvas, so "others" is placed above. If the word "others" were placed below, one might suspect that it includes those of a different class, the śrāvakas.
