Answer: The Mahāparinirvāṇa-sūtra says: "How can one who has not yet generated the mind [of bodhi] be called a bodhisattva?" Persons of the prior nine realms are also generally designated as bodhisattva persons. If they are generally the two vehicles, there are four kinds of śrāvakas: śrāvakas of overweening pride subsume persons of the lower eight realms; śrāvakas of the Buddha path subsume bodhisattva persons.
