9.124

The Eulogy says: Below is the third section, looking toward eighty koṭis of nayutas of bodhisattvas to uphold it. In this there are two parts: first, the Buddha gazing; afterwards, requesting to uphold it. This is the first. By blessing them bodily, he arouses the minds of the assembly to make them uphold the sūtra, which is why he gazed at them. Therefore, in the root treatise it is named the "Chapter on Encouraging Upholding", because he encouraged them bodily.
