此品明十三法師,開而奉行為受,久久不失為持,因以題名,故言受持品。正說六品為四,今是第四明弘經人德行相貌,勸將來依憑學經。就文有二:初月光疑問;從大牟尼下,第二答。初問中有二:初月光從前品生疑;白佛言下,第二正問末代持法人。就前疑問中,初覩瑞疑念;次即發言諮請。

This chapter explains the thirteen Dharma masters. To understand and enact it is "receiving"; to maintain it long without losing it is "upholding." It is titled accordingly, and hence called the "Chapter on Receiving and Upholding." The six chapters of the main discourse form four [divisions]; this is now the fourth, explaining the virtuous conduct and characteristics of those who propagate the sūtra and exhorting future [generations] to rely upon them in studying the sūtra. In the text there are two [parts]: First, Candraprabha's doubt and inquiry; second, from "The Great Muni said..." onwards, the answer. In the initial inquiry there are two [parts]: First, Candraprabha conceives a doubt arising from the preceding chapter; second, from "He addressed the Buddha, saying..." onwards, he directly inquires about the persons who uphold the Dharma in the final era. In the preceding doubtful inquiry, first he perceives portents and entertains doubts in his mind; next he speaks to request instruction.
