The Buddha, further, said to Kasyapa: "Oh
good man! In this All-Wonderful ‘Mahaparinirvana Sutra’, there appear four kinds
of people. They protect it well, establish (make known, recognized and
accepted) and think well about the Wonderful Dharma. They benefit others very much and feel pity of the world. They become
the refuges of the world and give peace and bliss to human and celestial beings.
Who are the four? A person who appears in the world involved in illusions. This
is the first category. Those persons at the grades (stages) of Srotapanna and Sakridagamin are the second
(category). Those at the grade of Anagamin are the third. Those at the grade of
Arhat are the fourth. These four kinds of people appear, benefit and feel pity of the world.
They become the refuges of the world and give peace and bliss to human and
celestial beings.”
