下眾說呪，有六：初觀音說。文有三：初請說、次正說、後誦呪法。初請中有三：一請儀、二請說、三述益。梵云阿縛盧枳帝濕筏邏耶。阿縛盧枳帝此云觀，餘云自在。以天眼耳及他心通恒觀世間，隨皆能救，云觀自在。云觀世音，從一說也，其名不具，非正翻也。配文可知。

Below, the assembly speaks the spells, having six parts: first, Avalokiteśvara speaks. The text has three parts: first, requesting to speak; second, properly speaking; third, the method of reciting the spell. In the initial request there are three: first, the ritual of requesting; second, requesting to speak; third, stating the benefits. In Sanskrit it is *avalokiteśvarāya*. *Avalokita* is translated here as 'observing' (*guan*), the remainder as 'sovereign' (*yisvara* / *zhizai*). Because he constantly observes the world with divine eyes, divine ears, and knowledge of others' minds, and is able to rescue them wherever they are, he is called Avalokiteśvara (*Guanzhizai*). To call him Guanshiyin follows one explanation; its name is incomplete and not an accurate translation. Matching it with the text can be known.
