Commentary: Below is showing the procedures for seeking, having two parts: first, showing the means for upholding the sūtra and seeking eloquence; second, from 'At that time the Dharma master gave prediction' downward, properly seeking eloquence. The first section has four parts: first, generally indicating and showing the method; second, specifically teaching its procedure; third, the goddess's exhortation to practice; fourth, the World-Honoured One's praise and command. The first again has four: first, identifying the practitioners; second, identifying the method shown; third, identifying the functions of the method; fourth, identifying the exhortation to cultivate and study. This is the first and second.
