大吉祥天女增長財物品,三門分別:來意,如前。釋名者,昔少有加多云增,先無令得稱長。財謂七珍,物謂四事。若能弘經,天女能令財物增長。此品廣明,故云〈增長財物品〉。餘如前解。三解妨者,問:此品亦能與其飲食、增其地味,與後品何別?答:能與者異故。又真諦三藏云:「此品正與衣服,珍財、飲食是兼;後品正與飲食,餘者是兼。」

Chapter on the Goddess Mahāśrī Increasing Wealth and Goods: Distinguished into three gates. The rationale for its occurrence is as before. As for explaining the title: when what was previously meager is increased, it is called 'increasing' (增); when what was previously absent is caused to be obtained, it is called 'growing' (長). 'Wealth' (財) refers to the seven treasures; 'goods' (物) refers to the four requisites. If one can propagate this sūtra, the goddess can cause their wealth and goods to increase and grow. Because this chapter extensively clarifies this, it is called the 'Chapter on Increasing Wealth and Goods'. The rest is explained as before. Third, resolving doubts: Question: This chapter can also provide food and drink and increase the essence of the earth; how is it distinguished from the subsequent chapter? Answer: Because the providers are different. Furthermore, Tripiṭaka Master Paramārtha said: 'This chapter primarily provides clothing, with precious wealth, food, and drink being secondary; the subsequent chapter primarily provides food and drink, with the rest being secondary.'
