In the Commentary, the tenth part, "The title is called Buddhāvataṃsaka-mahāvaipulya-sūtra," is the general title for the inexhaustible sūtras. Below, the name and title are briefly explained; because they will be explained extensively in the ninth section below, it is here called "brief." Within this there are three: first, proposing both headings of the sūtra and the chapter; second, explaining both headings; and third, concluding both above. Now for the first, proposing the sūtra's heading first. That is to say, whether proceeding from the brief to the extensive, unfolding boundlessly, the ocean of inconceivable teachings does not depart from these seven characters; hence it says "the general title for the inexhaustible sūtras," proposing the sūtra's title. Second, "'The Wondrous Adornments of the Leaders of the Worlds, Chapter One,' is the specific title for the categories of meaning in the various sections," proposes the chapter heading. The "various sections" refers to the thirty-nine chapters. A "chapter" (pin) denotes differences in categories of meaning. Since the present [chapter] is one of them, it is called a specific title.
