大辯才天女讚歎品,來意同前。具足菩薩四辯才故名大辯才,有自在故名天,現為天女。即持業釋也。或簡餘天女,大辯才之天女,亦依主釋。問:何不明餘,此天女讚?答:以諸神中具辯才勝,故不明餘。

"Chapter on Praise by the Goddess Sarasvatī": the occasion for its occurrence is the same as before. Because she is fully endowed with a bodhisattva's four kinds of eloquence (catuḥ-pratisaṃvid), she is named Great Eloquence (Mahāpratibhānā / Sarasvatī); because she possesses sovereignty, she is called deva, manifesting as a devī (goddess). This is a karmadhāraya compound. Or, distinguishing her from other goddesses, she is the goddess of Great Eloquence, which is also a tatpuruṣa compound. Question: Why are other deities not explained, but this goddess praises? Answer: Because among all deities she possesses superior eloquence, other deities are not explained.
