Regarding the Commentary's "Anāthapiṇḍada is called Sudatta in Sanskrit": the sūtra gives the prince's Sanskrit name, while the Commentary gives the elder's Western pronunciation. Raising the elder's virtue symbolizes being endowed with the wealth of the Dharma, capable of causing all to realize the dharmadhātu. From "The elder covered the ground with gold" onward, it sets forth the reason for raising both persons together. The Record of the Western Regions, the Da zhidu lun, the Mahāyānasūtrālaṃkāra, and others all recount this, and in the Record of the Jetavana Vihāra, this matter is even more extensive.
