6.6

解妨者,問:本意欲勸持經:舉其昔事以曉。此既明往善生求法:何不名為善生求法品?答:應言求法,略故不論。又不但求,亦得聞法供養行經。若言求法,闕餘法行,故但云善生。問:第二僧祇初逢寶髻佛,云何此品云寶髻佛涅槃,善生王出?答:寶髻佛多。又復非必第二劫初善生王出,是餘時故。

Regarding resolving objections: Question: The original intention was to encourage upholding the sūtra, citing past events to instruct. Since this clarifies past Sujāta seeking the Dharma, why is it not named 'Chapter on Sujāta Seeking the Dharma'? Answer: It could have been called 'Seeking the Dharma', but for brevity it was omitted. Moreover, he did not merely seek it; he also got to hear the Dharma, make offerings, and practice the sūtra. If it were named 'Seeking the Dharma', it would lack the other practices of the Dharma; hence it is simply called 'Sujāta'. Question: At the beginning of the second asaṃkhyeya [kalpa] one encounters the Buddha Ratnaśikhin; why does this chapter say that after the Buddha Ratnaśikhin's nirvāṇa, King Sujāta appeared? Answer: There are many Ratnaśikhin Buddhas. Furthermore, it is not necessarily at the beginning of the second kalpa that King Sujāta appeared; it was at another time.
