Sengliang comments: Above he explained that the Dharmas of various Buddhas have flourishing and decline; here he speaks of the sixth evil within Śākyamuni's Dharma. 'Lākmāṣā' comes from the palāśa flower; when it appears, it is purely insects and can be used to remove them. From 'there are one hundred and twenty thousand great bodhisattvas' to 'burn all the scriptures' proves that the Nirvāṇa Sūtra does not perish; it is merely the paper, ink, and written words that perish.
Zhixiu comments: The seventh section clarifies the marks of the flourishing and perishing of Śākyamuni's Dharma.
