Sengzong notes: The principle clarified by the sūtra exhaustively traces the source and plumbs the nature; this is the sūtra's reaching the ultimate. When a person is able to accept, uphold, read, and recite it, practicing it oneself and transforming others, and ultimately attain great awakening, this is the person's reaching the ultimate. Therefore, this chapter and the 'Chapter on the Four Characteristics' both clarify propagation, together answering this fourth question. Mingjun notes: The answer regarding the power of the sūtra is of two kinds: here it first adduces the power of the sūtra obtained during the causal stage; below it expands upon it with the four questions such as 'how does one whose mind is not yet aroused...'.
