5.9

五、修多羅含結鬘義者,此亦從譬以顯義。結鬘即是縷穿於華,無有零落;大覺世尊以四悉檀說法,詮諸法相,赴緣皆無漏失。又,結鬘能嚴飾身、首,如來言教,莊嚴行人,一切敬愛,故修多羅含「結鬘」義也。

Fifth, sūtra containing the sense of "garland": this is also revealing the meaning by way of a metaphor. A garland is threads piercing through flowers without any falling away; the Great Awakened World-Honoured One uses the four siddhāntas to preach the Dharma, expressing all characteristics of phenomena, responding to conditions without anything being missed or lost. Furthermore, a garland can adorn the body and head; the Tathāgata's spoken teachings adorn the practitioner so that all revere and love them. Therefore sūtra contains the sense of "garland".
