三解難者，問：四辨才中為是何耶：答：具足有四。何以得知？下云「具足莊嚴言說之辨」，詞無礙辨。「於此經中文字句義」，即法義二辨。經體有二，一能詮文、二所詮義，俱名經也。「能善開悟」，即樂說無礙辨，故總結云「復與陀羅尼總持無礙」，陀羅尼即四能持，無礙即所持四無礙辨。問：四無礙解與四無礙辨有何差別？答：了四無滯名解，說四無滯名辨。辨依解起，解藉辨彰，體是慧故。諸經論中或互相從，但合說四。持四不忘，名四總持，即兼念慧。問：今此天女具辨總持，何不名大總持天女？答：總持是因，所持四法是果，從果勝號不依因名。又解：辨為利他，持自利勝，故從他勝名大辨才。故下陳如請云「唯願智慧辨才天，以妙言詞施一切。」下教請中亦云「敬禮辨才天，令我詞無礙」等，據實祈求能施一切。

Third, regarding the resolution of difficulties: Question: Among the four unobstructed eloquences, which one is this? Answer: She is fully endowed with all four. How is this known? Below it says, 'fully adorn the eloquence of speech,' which is the unobstructed eloquence of expression. 'In this sūtra, the words, sentences, and meanings' refers to the two unobstructed eloquences of phenomena (dharma) and meaning (artha). The essence of a sūtra has two aspects: first, the expresser texts; second, the expressed meanings; both are called 'sūtra.' 'Skillfully awaken and enlighten' is the unobstructed eloquence of delightful discourse. Therefore, it summarizes, 'and furthermore bestow dhāraṇī, all-retention without obstruction'; dhāraṇī is the four capacities of retention, and 'unobstructed' refers to the four unobstructed eloquences that are retained. Question: What is the difference between the four unobstructed understandings and the four unobstructed eloquences? Answer: Comprehending the four without stagnation is called 'understanding'; expounding the four without stagnation is called 'eloquence.' Eloquence arises based on understanding, and understanding is manifested by means of eloquence, for their essence is wisdom. In various sūtras and treatises, they sometimes follow one another, simply spoken together as four. Retaining the four without forgetting is called the four all-retentions, which combines mindfulness and wisdom. Question: Now, since this goddess possesses both eloquence and all-retention, why is she not named the Goddess of Great All-Retention? Answer: All-retention is the cause, and the four dharmas retained are the fruit; the title is taken from the superior fruit, not based on the causal name. Another explanation: eloquence is for benefiting others, whereas retention is superior for benefiting oneself; hence, following the superiority of benefiting others, she is named Great Eloquence. Therefore, below Kauṇḍinya petitions, saying: 'We only pray that the Goddess of Wisdom and Eloquence / will bestow wondrous words upon all.' In the instructional petition below it also says: 'I pay homage to the Goddess of Eloquence; / may she cause my words to be unobstructed,' and so forth; based on the reality of the prayer, she is able to bestow them upon all.
