自下第四阿難傳通。於中三句:一、如來告勸令使傳通。二、阿難奉教,彰己受持,并問名經。此經義多,當□□□□義而名斯經。三、如來為說。「此經名為維摩所說」,約人以名。此經三會:初會佛說,中間一會是維摩說,第三一會佛及維摩二人共說。今此偏就維摩所說以立其名,名維摩詰不思解脫,寄其顯故。「亦名不思解脫法門」,就法彰名,悉如上解。「如是受持」,依名勸持。上來第一付囑傳通。自下第二明其所說當法稱機,大眾同喜。從初訖後,名「佛說已」。

Now, this specifically bases the title on what Vimalakīrti preached, naming it Vimalakīrti's Inconceivable Liberation, because it relies on him to manifest it. "It is also named the 'Dharma Gate of Inconceivable Liberation'" reveals the name with respect to the Dharma, completely as explained above. "Uphold it like this" encourages upholding it according to the name. The above is the first [division], the entrustment and transmission. From here below is the second [division], clarifying that what was preached is appropriate to the Dharma and accords with faculties, and the great assembly rejoices together. From the beginning to the end, it is called "When the Buddha had preached this...".
