In reply to Sarvanīvaraṇaviṣkambhin, the Buddha next explains about the sūtra’s powers and blessing, describing it as the mother of all Dharma teachings and the Vinaya of the bodhisattvas. The Buddha also offers guidelines for the teaching and study of the sūtra, and the god Śakra promises to serve and protect those who commit themselves to its teaching. At Sarvanīvaraṇaviṣkambhin’s request, Śākyamuni provides the sūtra with four distinct names. As the great gathering rejoices, the sūtra concludes.
