From "He then addressed Jaladhara-" below is the second section in the chapter, explaining that this Gadgadasvara received the command and came. Within this there are five sections: first, explaining that Gadgadasvara took leave of the buddha and came; second, explaining that that buddha moreover admonished and instructed this Gadgadasvara; third, Gadgadasvara respectfully received the intention of the admonition; fourth, explaining this Gadgadasvara displaying the signs of coming from there; fifth, directly explaining Gadgadasvara setting forth from there and coming. Now first there are about four lines which are the first, explaining Gadgadasvara taking leave of that buddha and coming. From "At that time the Buddha Jaladharagarjitaghoṣasusvaranakṣatrarājasankusumitābhijña" below is the second, explaining that that buddha admonished him. From "Gadgadasvara addressed the Buddha, saying" below is the third, respectfully receiving the intention of the Tathāgata's admonition. From "Thereupon Gadgadasvara" below is the fourth section, displaying the signs of coming from there. Just within this fourth section there are again six stages: first, explaining manifesting jewelled lotus flowers here; second, from "At that time Mañjuśrī" below, Mañjuśrī questioning the Buddha about the meaning of this auspicious sign; third, from "At that time Śākya-" below, explaining the Tathāgata's reply to Mañjuśrī; fourth, from "Mañjuśrī addressed the Buddha" below, explaining that Mañjuśrī moreover wished to see this Gadgadasvara; fifth, from "At that time Śākya-" below, explaining that Śākyamuni answered, saying that Prabhūtaratna Tathāgata would naturally summon him for you; sixth, from "At that time the Buddha Prabhūtaratna" below, explaining that the Buddha Prabhūtaratna immediately summoned this Gadgadasvara for Mañjuśrī.
