四者眾異，謂此一乘經首唯列普賢等菩薩，及佛境界中諸神王眾。不同三乘等，或唯聲聞眾，或大小二眾等。問：「若爾，何故第九會中有聲聞眾耶？」答：「彼中列聲聞意者有二種：一、寄對顯法故，為示如聾如盲，顯法深勝也；二、文殊出會外所攝六千比丘，非是前所引眾，此等皆是已在三乘中，令迴向一乘，故作是說也。」

> The fourth is distinction in assembly: namely, at the head of this One Vehicle sūtra, it lists only bodhisattvas such as Samantabhadra, and the assemblies of various spirit kings within the Buddha's realm. It is not like the Three Vehicles and so on, where there are either only assemblies of śrāvakas, or both the great and small assemblies, and so forth. Question: "If so, why is there an assembly of śrāvakas in the ninth assembly?" Answer: "There are two intents in listing the śrāvakas therein: first, provisionally confronting them to reveal the Dharma, showing them to be like the deaf and blind, to reveal the profundity and supremacy of the Dharma; second, the six thousand monks gathered when Mañjuśrī went outside the assembly were not the assembly previously cited; these were all persons already in the Three Vehicles, whom he caused to turn towards the One Vehicle; therefore this explanation is made."
