28.22

Regarding the commentary's: "Now the initial text has nine clauses..." and below: The commentary text is divided into two: first, generally explaining the nine clauses; second, specifically analyzing the question about the crown. In the former, it consistently recounts former interpretations, within which there are five: 1. directly establishing liberation-kṣānti; 2. from "Furthermore, because of the ten faiths..." and below, presenting its reason: if the ten faiths are not opened, then it is inappropriate to ask about faith; since there is a Kṣānti Chapter below, one knows it is liberation-kṣānti; 3. from "Hence the *Benevolent Kings [Sūtra]*..." and below, citing scriptural authority to corroborate it; 4. from "One view says..." and below, corroborating it by reasoning; 5. from "Due to this..." and below, concluding the correspondence, which may be understood.
