Second, the appraisal, which has two parts: First, the question. The intention of the question is to challenge the particular title of this chapter based on the common title of the sūtra. Since it says that another title is "Inconceivable Liberation," then every chapter is inconceivable; why only this chapter? Second, the answer, which has two parts: First, the direct answer. Second, citing an analogy. "The present chapter is also like this": although an entire sūtra from beginning to end is inconceivable, yet if one wishes to seek inconceivable matters, one should seek them in this chapter. Because Śāriputra thought of seats and Jingming borrowed seats, thereupon it throughout extensively illuminates inconceivable divine functions.
