解曰:言寶蓋者,寶積長者持蓋自蔭,或由奉佛,故云寶蓋。無垢稱者,即淨名矣。舍利弗者,具足應云舍利弗多羅,舍利鳥名,弗者子也。尊者母眼如鶖鷺目,其相圓淨、其音便辯,因母彰名,稱舍利弗。須菩提者,此云空生,或云善吉及善現也。言彌勒者,此譯為慈,多修慈行,又亦是姓。師子吼者,梵云僧(思孕反)伽娜娜,此云師子吼。舉此等餘,明遍問故。從此第四明無答者。

Exposition: As for 'Ratnachattra' (Jewelled Canopy), the elder Ratnarāśi held a parasol to shade himself, or it was because he offered it to the Buddha, hence he is called 'Ratnachattra'. 'Vimalakīrti' (Undefiled Renown) is Jingming. 'Śāriputra': fully it should be *Śāriputra*; *śāri* is the name of a bird, and *putra* means son. The Venerable One's mother's eyes were like those of an egret, her appearance was round and clear, and her voice was fluent and eloquent; his name was proclaimed after his mother, so he was called Śāriputra. 'Subhūti' is translated here as 'Born of Emptiness', or as 'Good and Auspicious', and 'Good Manifestation'. As for 'Maitreya', this is translated as 'Benevolence'; he cultivated benevolent practices extensively, and it is also a family name. 'Siṃhanāda' is in Sanskrit *siṃhanāda*, which here is translated as 'Lion's Roar'. Mentioning these covers the rest, indicating that he questioned all universally. Hereafter follows the fourth part, clarifying that none could answer.
