It is because it cannot be divided by demons, etc. The Buddhas, Dharma, and Sangha, even hundreds of millions of demons, cannot divide them, therefore it is called Sangha. So it is said. Saying Shravaka is because of permanence. Or because it has the first fruit. Or because the precepts are the same. Or because it is indivisible. Or because it possesses qualities. Or because the abandonment is similar. Or because the number is large. Or because it is not non-dependent. When the Bhagavan and his retinue are revered, why is the merit greater than making offerings to Bodhisattvas when making offerings with excellent and numerous objects at that time? Some say that because the cause is the main thing, it is said to be the supreme cause, because the Tathagata arises from the Bodhisattva, and the Shravaka arises from the Tathagata. Some say it is to show praise of the mind of enlightenment. What is the perfection of thought like a chariot? It refers to the initial thought. Why? Because continuous thought is not perfect. If that were the case, how could it be said to be like a chariot? Generating roots of virtue for the Buddha means giving alms, etc., with the Buddha as the object. Thus, the benefits of the first are shown, and now the characteristics of the definite and indefinite Bodhisattvas are shown, namely: the Bodhisattva is like this, and so on. The Buddha's field is the great three thousand world system. To push out means to expel from the initial ground. Inexpressible and again inexpressible means the end of numbers, because there is no other name for numbers above that, so it is said: Inexpressible and inexpressible, all are complete with the inexpressible. Below that which is not, other numerical positions are expressed by name, as it is said in the Sutra: There are two numerical positions, namely: hidden and manifest. The manifest is one hundred and sixteen, namely: koṭi, koṭi, mahākoṭi, vibhuta, vyavahara, aṁga, traṁga, niravadhi, mudha, avadhana, avamana, pramada, hiranya, nirhiranya, hiranyagarbha, sagara,
