Question: Why is it not entitled Abridged Commentary? Answer: Since it already states below the title "Abridged by Śramaṇa So-and-so," the word "abridged" is absent from the title itself. If it were entitled Abridged Commentary, then below the title it would only bear the author's name, and there should not be words such as "abridged by." For instance, in Du Yu's commentary on the Commentary on the Chunqiu, because it is titled above as Collected Explanations of the Chunqiu Classic and Commentary, it merely writes below the two characters "Du Shi." In He Yan's commentary on the Lunyu, because it is merely titled above as Lunyu, Chapter One, it writes below "Collected Explanations by He Yan." Jingxi's intention in establishing the title here is identical with that of He Yan.
