Within this chapter there are intrinsically two parts: first, clarifying the matter of Pūrṇa receiving the bestowal of prophecy; second, clarifying the matter of the various voice-hearers receiving the bestowal of prophecy. Within the matter of Pūrṇa there are intrinsically two parts: first, the compiler of the sūtra clarifies the marks of Pūrṇa attaining understanding; second, from "The Buddha addressed the monks" below, directly clarifying the Tathāgata reciting the prophecy for Pūrṇa. Furthermore, within the compiler of the sūtra narrating Pūrṇa's attaining understanding there are two: first, narrating the reasons for his attaining understanding; second, directly narrating the marks of his attaining understanding.
