Commentary: The fourth major section of the chapter: the Buddha further encourages, praises, and concludes. The text is divided into two: first, the compiler recounts the conclusion of the preceding and the introduction of the following; second, the Buddha speaks directly. There are fifteen verses, divided into four: the first five verses praise the sūtra; the next five verses encourage humans to protect it; the next two verses encourage devas to protect it; the next three verses conclude. The first part has three aspects: the first half-verse praises the sūtra's supremacy; the next half-verse commands them to protect it; the subsequent four verses explain the sūtra's function, wherein the first two verses generally explain the great thousandfold world, and the latter two verses specifically explain Jambudvīpa. Within the general explanation, the first half-verse is the ability to give joy; the next half-verse gives rise to goodness, namely by propagating the sūtra; the latter one verse eradicates suffering. Within the specific explanation of this continent, the first one verse is obtaining joy, the next half-verse is leaving suffering, and the latter half-verse concludes.
