"'All Māras and all tīrthikas are my attendants'"—this second part of the reply first specifies the persons. Sengzhao says: "Worldly attendants merely revere oneself, obey orders, and serve what is needed; they are called attendants. A bodhisattva's attendants take those who disdain oneself, disobey orders, and oppose the Way, harmonizing them with the Mahāyāna to suitably obey and attend upon the dharmakāya; they are called attendants. Therefore the hosts of Māras and divergent paths are foremost among those who attend." Tiantai says: "Māras are attached to the afflictions of feeling; tīrthikas cling to the afflictions of view. Dhyāna meditation again loves wisdom; wisdom destroys views. Since love and views accord with the true dharmakāya, they are attendants."
