Regarding the Commentary's statement: 'Causing the cultivation of inexhaustible practices to reveal completion as the goal': 'reveal' refers to fundamental possession, and 'complete' refers to cultivation and rectification. Regarding the Commentary's statement: 'Samantabhadra is originally the host of the assembly': this below resolves the objection regarding the absence of a request. There are two intended senses in resolving it: the first sense can be known; the second, from 'Or at the end of the previous chapter' and below, resolves it in terms of the five chapters answering questions, meaning that ten questions regarding lands and so forth were previously listed. The previous chapter answered the question on lineage; these four chapters below answer four further questions. The remaining five questions were perhaps already answered prior to this chapter. The sūtra text brought [to China] was incomplete, which is why they are omitted. Their specific correlation to questions and answers was already clarified in the previous chapter.
