16.9

Regarding the Commentary's passage from "Relying on the current Sanskrit text" onwards: this is the second section, [explaining] the present title. Within this, there are three parts: first, directly explaining the present title; second, setting aside previous explanations; third, concluding and establishing the present meaning. In the commentary, the Sanskrit terms are cited all together, and simultaneously translated into these [Chinese] words. If matched individually: mahā means "great" (da); vaipulya means "broad and vast" (fangguang); buddha means "awakened one" (juezhe), which is the word fo (Buddha), for the word fo simply abbreviates the Sanskrit sound; gaṇḍa means "miscellaneous flowers" (zahua); vyūha means "sublime adornment" (yanshi); sūtra means "scripture" (jing).
