“Śāriputra addressed the Buddha once again, saying: ‘We only pray that you speak it! We only pray that you speak it!’” From here down is the third section, the second request made because those of sharp faculties will certainly believe; from here down, by analogy with the three sections, all have two parts: prose and verse. The intention of the request here means: in this assembly all have sharp faculties and are capable of hearing the Buddha’s exposition; how could one say they would be astonished and doubtful?
