Commentary: The text below has two parts; this is the first, the command. In Sanskrit, Mahā-Maudgalyāyana; here [in Chinese] it means ‘Great Bean-Gathering Clan’; shu means bean. ‘Clan’ refers to a lineage. In ancient times, there was an ascetic who always ate mung beans; [Maudgalyāyana] was his descendant, so he was named ‘Great Bean-Gathering Clan.’ All the causes and conditions concerning him, Śāriputra, Mahākāśyapa, and others are fully explained as in the first fascicle of the Commentary on the Maitreya-Upapatti-Sūtra.
