1.37

案道慧記曰：大判此經有十別。第一序說，即〈序品〉也；第二正說，從〈純陀〉訖〈金剛身〉也；第三流通說，從〈名字功德〉訖〈四倒〉也；第四佛性說，從〈如來性〉訖〈月喻〉也，明所以得常者，以本有佛性故也；第五歎經，即〈菩薩〉一品也；第六證成常住，明不食而現食、不病而現病、不滅而現滅，即〈現病品〉也；第七明所得，無病者由行故也，即五行十功德也；第八境界明義，為成於行，即〈師子吼〉、〈迦葉〉也；第九破外道說，即〈憍陳如品〉也；第十囑累說，從「阿難何在」竟經文也。

Daohui's record states: Broadly classified, this sūtra has ten distinct sections. First is the introductory teaching, namely the "Introductory Chapter"; second is the principal teaching, from "Cunda" through "Adamantine Body"; third is the teaching on dissemination, from "Virtues of the Name" through "Four Inversions"; fourth is the teaching on the buddhadhātu, from "Tathāgata-Nature" through "Moon Parable", clarifying that the reason permanence is attained is because one fundamentally possesses the buddhadhātu; fifth is the praise of the sūtra, namely the single chapter "Bodhisattva"; sixth is the verification of permanence, showing that without eating he manifests eating, without illness he manifests illness, and without perishing he manifests perishing, namely the "Manifestation of Illness Chapter"; seventh is the explanation of what is attained, that one is free from illness due to practice, namely the Five Practices and Ten Merits; eighth is the explanation of meaning through cognitive objects to accomplish practice, namely "Lion's Roar" and "Kāśyapa"; ninth is the refutation of non-Buddhists, namely the "Kauṇḍinya Chapter"; and tenth is the teaching of entrustment, from "Where is Ānanda?" through the end of the sūtra text.
