"Their names were: Equal Contemplation Bodhisattva (Samadarśin)" From here down is the fourth [section], listing their names. Sengrui says: "These various bodhisattvas were named either after their meritorious practices, or obtained their appellations due to physical marks; it was not by one single way, just as people today have courtesy names. One should look at the text to appreciate the sense; there is no fixed definition." Kumārajīva says: "'Equal contemplation' means observing sentient beings with the four immeasurables."
